workin on my nyx (stolen name of my god of night lmao) design and other related things. decided to use my character baetyl (who is a night angel) for my last illustration project of the semester so thats been my motivation.
^ this is the sketchh for it. i like how it looks so far <3
and here are the sketches from where i was working on revamping her design.
lore below vvv
some basic info is that she is the head of the main pantheon in the world. in terms of religion popularity the sun god is way bigger but hes dead so its kinda hard to be in charge. both the sun and night god are some form of gnc, ive decided theyre the primordial she/they and he/they-ers. uhhh shes got two daughters (the two moons), one bigger and one smaller which is reflected in a lot of the design. (she loves her weird freak neurodivergent daughters.)
uhhh the night angels (my oc baetyl being the only one designed lmao) are the main angels of the world. do all the enforcing she requires and such.,., theres also sun angels but theyre less of a.,., species? group? theyre more just a couple of freaks.
Nyxes pantheon is pretty much the main one, and she has the most power outside of a few notable gods who aren’t particularly interested in contesting her throne.
also a fun similarity between her and the sun god is the wings, shes got bat and hes got dragon wings (pretty much the same thing).
seems like ive never posted baetyl before so heres his design
hunted down a random older sun god drawing as well for reference. this is no longer accurate but its close enough :shrug:
concepts for a local deity i made a but ago and remembered that it was fucking cool so i developed it more !!!
some lore if you would like:
local deity worshipped by a group of people, deity was once a creature living in the outskirts of the old growth woods in a time before it receded. it was found inside of a large hollowed tree trunk where it had been for god know how long. it would have had a species when it was still normally alive but they are all extinct now. (making it the last of its kind, or maybe not even that considering its been deified.)
it was pretty neutral towards the people there at first, did not really give a fuck. but over time has become more attached. this is helped by the fact that the religious figures of the group modify their bodies and wear clothing to look like the creature, and they become even more similar over time.
religious figures (some sort of shaman/priest deal im not sure yet) have their outfits to look like the creature, masks with feathers, a cape/cloak? with feathers, the scarf to match the neck, and so on. they also wrap their bodies tightly in cloth strips to compress their limbs and lengthen them. (to match the gangly ass look of the creature)
puttin em on the same post here they are all together <3 they are bugs under a rock you just picked up.
made untransparent for some reason.,,,,
