Echo, Echo.

Short Erlina comic I've been picking at on and off over the past 6 months is finally done.

Our 12 year old got morbidly curious and decided to get elbow deep in monster guts to see what was inside, to the variable horror of the onlooking adults.

The Great Eagle

The Great Eagle (v2)

A lot of thought and love went into this one, full description below (including late game spoilers).

 I approached this with a general prompt of “How the people within the universe perceive the Great Eagle”, so this is almost an interpretation of a piece of art a normal person in Sea of Stars would possibly have made. Within Homeworld, it’s this mythic, venerated, possibly deified being and I referenced a lot of classical art of mythical birds that we’re familiar with as a base for it. However, I also wanted it to look off-putting and unsettling, which is why I chose the bright blue-and-red limited color palette that would be harsher/somewhat straining to look at. In that vein, the people of Homeworld are not the only ones affected by the Great Eagle so I also wanted to allude to what made it, which is largely why I used peacock feathers as a recurring motif to resemble the “eyes” of all the hypothetical birdmen on Serai’s world that were directly or indirectly affected. As part of that choice, each of the background feathers represents an individual of that species, and I was adamant that each one be individually drawn. Every single one of those feathers beyond the halo were hand-drawn and not copied and while my hand hates me for it, I regret nothing.
