You know, I completely forgot about this sketch but two years ago I doodled a baby Shaan for a headcanon post but never did get to doing the rest

SO

Have an old doodle of a fat baby Lubraean named Shaan xD

Day 27 of Memetober

“Stay back! I got soap and I’m not afraid to use it!”

I've drawn again but this time I tried to make a cute lubreaen baby.

I've temporarily probably had fixated from hollow knight back to destiny 2.

I hope this Lil guy is not too ugly because I don't draw too many baby ones.

I also made my own version of what lubreaens had probably looked like.

Also the little tufts are feathers that can move.

In the concept art for rhulk one of them shows him with a lighter colored chest and him having a Lil tail. He also has four toes and 6 fingers too.

The other half of fan made lubreaens have hair and or feathers so I added my own version of what those.

Also happy early Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas if I don't make anymore art for the rest of this year. I hope you all have a good rest of your year too.

Game of Tag

Arna and Guey play a game of tag somewhere in the Lubraean forests c:

Still working on those mini doodles until new computer can be obtained

I messed up a bit on this one but at least it still looks passable enough c'x IRL it does look way better. Phone cameras do so little justice and the scanner just destroys the colors overall c'x

I'm sorry its not good

do u think that lubreans follow the same sort of logic as like. bald eagles. where they look really badass and cool from one angle but then really goofy from another.

Oh, absolutely!

Going from total badass to an awkward goof like this:

Sometimes Lubraeans have their silly moments c:

Oh look, another headcanon post and another made up alphabet for funsies!

This time I did the Lubraean alphabet, mostly cause I needed it for my AU c'x

Might do more later!

Hello, I adore your Rhulk and Orecursor stuff and I currently am having an issue

I have no idea what Rhulk woukd look like before he got messed with by the witness and the darkness, any ideas or advice you can give along with some of your headcannons for lubreans

🥺🫶

Thank you kindly dear friend 💞

Hello!

Finally getting around to answering this so I do apologize for this being so late! But thank you so much! That means a lot to me to hear that! ;;

And to the issue on hand, I know exactly what you mean!

When it came to coming up for a design for Rhulk, I had a lot to think over and struggle with cause we got so little of what we could know physically about him and Lubraeans in general! I think I can speak for all of us on how we all were curious to peak what was under the mask and speculate what he looked like! xD And still, we are curious to know and yet it hasn't stopped many to speculate and create their own versions of what they think he may look like!

So, when came time to draw down a design for my own, I went about using these different steps! (More under the read more!)

First, I took a look at his in-game model and the concept art that was created by the team at Bungie, most notably the works of Tobias Kwan!

I think looking at the models and concept art itself is a great start to getting an idea and feel to what you want to see or put into thought of what he may look like! Here you get everything you sort of need to know with a basis!

Added with the in-game lore too, it can help to further paint the picture to what we know and may speculate on! And yes, while we know the in-game model is Rhulk after he was reshaped by the Witness, I do think that there are aspects of him that truly remain his own and therefore may have been the basis for future Disciples and the likes how have been reshaped into what the Witness may have deemed to be perfect to its eyes!

However, I also like to speculate further beyond just what he was given before us! And that is by using real world animals in comparison to what can probably put together for our thoughts on Rhulk without all this badass armor!

In my personal headcanons, I tend to speculate that Lubraeans are a cross between Cassowaries and Emus with some aspects of Mandrills and Gelada Baboons! Especially when it comes to male Lubraeans!

To summarize these headcanons, males are usually colorful with bright feathers and big fangs to accompany them while females do not have feathers nor possess the same bright colors their male counterparts do! (Reposting my headcanon chart here for this)

Both males and females come in a variety of colors and shades, but the main rule that has been followed is always the males being more colorful! More of this can be further explained on my old headcanon post here!

This especially applies to my AU as well! And even then, in said AU, there are differences in Lubraeans as they have since split up into two subspecies; the Homeworld Lubraeans (those from Lubrae) and the Regimists (descendants of those who still use the title of their ancestors and have since been banished from Lubrae to live elsewhere). So, you will definitely find differences between the two in this AU! (Comparing Shaan to Avyaan for example below)

So, backtracking onto Rhulk now, this is what helped me put together my own personal thoughts of him and what he may have looked like! Though originally he didn't look as colorful or put together in my first draft, he actually looked less like what I have in thought of him now!

(First sketch of Rhulk coming in, lol!)

Then I had speculated he had the feathers and fangs, but not as much as I do now. And he lacked the more prominent nose ridge and the colors that came with it. YET, it was with this idea that I was able to venture forward and put more thought into it!

And by looking at the model again closely as I played with the idea more, this is how I sort of just put Rhulk together as he had been shaped! I used a small snippet of the concept art and model to help put this all together here!

Some people tend to speculate that the body and shape itself is what he truly looks like, and others see armor. I personally see armor as well and what hides beneath is a different face and body than what we do see in game! So, either way of looking at it can be just fine, it really depends on what you as an artist/writer prefer to do with it! c:

But with putting this information all together, this is how I would usually think Rhulk would have looked like before he was injured and reshaped by the Witness! This look also falls mostly to how I see him in my Alternate Timeline AU as well before his big injuries!

(Warning, he's naked! So, no clothes here! Just fluff and feathers)

And again, this also depends on how you look at the timing too! The sketch above is before he joined the Regime to showcase what he looked like before he opted to cut/shave most of his feathers off! Below also shows a better look at this headcanon wise:

So really, depending on how you want to go about the design choice and how you feel it fits best, there really is no wrong choice to doing it! c:

I say let your imagination run wild and play with those ideas as they come to you! Shape and remold them! Because you'll eventually find something you'll like in the long run and deem to fit what you think works best for yourself, your world building and your stories and headcanons! ^^

I hope this helped and wasn't too confusing! And I do look forward to seeing what you do in the long run!

Best of wishes and luck to you! You got this! c:
