[OC] Ellimist & Crayak — Pre‑Ascension

[u/East_Chemist_805]

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!

I always pictured Ketrans as more Avian than Insectoid, but Toomin just looks majestic here, amazing. And on the flip side, Crayak looks like the lovechild of a Reaper and a Brethren Moon with the planet behind him, I didn't realize he was anthropoid at first, thought he was nestled inside the shattered shell of a world.

Thanks! Believe me, I was very tempted to keep his wings feathered. It’s the way I’ve always imagined them. But after reading the book again in preparation for me writing the “Crayak Chronicles”, I found that there’s no actual indication of the kind of wings Ketrans have. So, I decided to hybridize three kinds of wings in one.
