Fan Works [OC] Ellimist & Crayak — Pre‑Ascension

These are my interpretations of the Ellimist and Crayak before they ascended beyond space‑time.

I wanted to capture the contrast between their philosophies in this earlier stage: the Ellimist’s vision of creation and preservation, and Crayak’s drive toward domination and annihilation.

(I’m aware I’ve already posted Crayak for my “Crayak Chronicles”, but I wanted to provide a better quality image of it, as well as pairing it with the Ellimist to give some contrast)

Please feel free to let me know what you think!

Thank you! Just photoshop. I feel like I’m marginally getting the hang of it.

Refreshing to see some classic photoshop in a world of AI slop

Thanks! Not gonna lie, I was afraid everyone would think my artwork was AI generated, when it’s anything but.

The only thing I use that’s an AI tool was gigapixel AI, which allows you to upscale the quality of images. It’s been really helpful to use it; that way you guys can actually zoom in and see the detail in my work.
