Beginning Containment Procedures -
Newly risen archons were at the greatest risk of causing Corruption - Filled with new power, and lacking the experience to realize that actions have consequences. Judges existed to clean up the messes - which had its own risk of overreaching.
The Red, or Judge caste, dealt with the purity of the Chosen. Three guesses which caste most often had issues with Corruption. #Art #ConceptArt #NomadSculpt
Outbreak -
There is no 'green' technology, only 'greener'. Similarly, the Judge caste was responsible for a politically unspeakable fact in the Chosen - There was no "pure" soultech, only soultech with less evidence of Corruption.
A regular archon, based on having a nose still, but nearing exaltation, based on the shape of the body and lack of a mouth. #Art #ConceptArt #NomadSculpt
If you apply my differential growth nodes on top of the new "Organic" add-on, you can get some really fun results :) #Blender #ConceptArt #Art
Beach Settlement -
In theory, all castes were equal, but, in practice, the interactions and power struggles could be quite complex.
Some say the fears of instability and chaos are what give the mutants of the Host their cancerous appearance. The structure, simplicity and cavities of the Archons might indicate different subconscious feelings.
Another Greater Archon of the Judge caste. 7-sided forms and crystals are common to archons, and no Chosen can be called an archon while they still have eyes. #Art #ConceptArt #NomadSculpt
Particularly in Greater Archons, the difference between them and Senior Agents of the Host, at least in appearance, can be a matter of perspective. #Art #ConceptArt #NomadSculpt
Greater Archon of the Provider Caste -
Contrary to expectations, there was no religious uprising against the Chosen - instead, there were mass conversions from all major Earth religions. How can a faith with actual working miracles be wrong, especially when giants walk among them?

Unlike regular archons, the caste of most greater archons can usually be determined by their body’s colour. #Art #ConceptArt #NomadSculpt

Genuinely curious -
How many finished images a week do you think a TV concept artist typically makes? #ConceptArt #Art
Convoy -
Archons were Chosen transformed by exposure to spiritual energy.
Greater Archons were archons that continued to immerse themselves in the "Light of the Pure", until, over years, they grew to be as far beyond archons as archons were to humanity.
Chosen Vehicle -
Most land vehicles were smaller, and used to manage the territory claimed by a settlement.
Sea transportation in a fantasy world where ships are more expensive than creatures.
For anyone curious, this is what my ‘sketchbook’ looks like these days. #art #design #conceptart
