Art Archetype Gods

Hey, it’s been a while. You probably don't even remember me, but I just wanted to post because the Fruma update is coming out. Anyway, I'm going to leave a description of my thought process in making this art. Mainly, though, I thought it would be fun to draw what gods would look like if they represented the playable archetypes. (btw, don’t expect me to make more, this took way too long, and I don’t have the artistic talent to make more or anything of quality, honestly.) From left to right [Fallen, Trickster, and Riftwalker].

(TLDR: college sucks and I'd trade my ability to draw this kinda stuff to make gooner art.)

Desc (btw this is just my head cannon, I’m not dedicated enough to go through the actual lore)

Spoiler: Process

Rift walker (God of distorted space-time): I honestly just put a bunch of event horizons together and had the body fragmented into pieces. The lore behind this guy would probably be a mage who, in their pursuit of knowledge, ascended to godhood at some point on their journey and deeply regrets their decision as they trapped themselves in their own empty universe, cut off from reality. The spells the players use are their attempt to get someone to free them (or at least not be so lonely), though it always fails due to anything caught through the rifts being molecularly ripped to shreds and reduced to nothing when it reaches them.

Trickster (God of Trickery): Low key, this was probably the worst made one since I suck at human anatomy and clothes, but hey, that's how we get better. I leaned in hard with the jester and playing card motifs with this guy, even if it was the worst of the three. I also thought the comedy masks helped sell the vibe of the guy. Not really much else to say other than I hope I can do better next time. Also, yes, the high heels on the trickster are necessary.

(Heart of Wrath/ (God/Beast) of Corruption): This guy, I have the most to talk about, honestly. To start Instead of making it into some hulking beast of flesh, I feel like having it as a raw organ just felt right with how visceral corruption is and how the beasts of the realm act as more like living organisms with how they have immune systems and junk like that. The halo above their head is a giant intestine, and it's wrapped in a crown of thorns, really hammering a biblical motif on this guy. I also felt like the symbolism with the god being an exposed heart can directly represent the playstyle of this archetype, being vulnerable and exposed due to corruption burning through your health with each attack. Lore-wise, I’d have them be the collective manifestation of all living organisms' conflict. Much like the other two beasts It is trying to spread its influence, whether through the portal (Annie) or through its followers (The player).

I was really inspired by Honkai Starrail with the paths and Aeons, as you can see. To the people still reading this, thank you. I hope my ramblings weren't too boring, and I hope you have a wonderful day. Also, I probably should have drawn these as waifus or something as I have done before, but life leaves you with little time to enjoy such luxuries, I suppose. Also, drink plenty of water.

Oh, btw, if I did make more, I would 100 percent make the lightbender god Orphion and draw them as a dark-skinned reindeer wolf milf. And for the Paladin, I’d draw salted as a buff and physically defined as much as possible.

 

Woaaaa :o
It's kinda giving me Fear and Hunger vibes; super cool !!

Spoiler: process response

(also please please please I would LOVE to see the lightbender and paladin, they sound glorious hehehehe)

 

I'm sorry, I'm just not good at drawing gooner bait : (

 

You... of all people?

 

I remember you!

 

This looks incredibly good!

 

On second thought, since you asked so nicely, here is Orphion (I'm not gonna show the whole thing just to be on the safe side, but its nothing crazy.)

Spoiler: Orphion
