First update: Sketches and references

There are a lot of monsters dedicated to eat sun/moon in our mythology around the world. I am trying to imagine a space monster that devour stars for fuel and energy. This dark beast travel across the sky like a comet. Many have been keeping track of its trail, thus believe that it will come and eat their sun 333 years in the future, bringing the doom to their kind.

I want to try a mystical approach on this one, combining the realistic functional side of the creature and some feeling of old script, book illustration and celestial atlas.

Good to see you here again. Love the idea. The sketches are looking good as well.

Wow, you're working at a totally different scale than most of us. Very original!
Lovely designs so far. If it's 333 years in the future, will we see spaceships around or near this creature? That could add some interesting contrast, hi-tech (but doomed) ships versus a very fantastical beast.
Anyhow, good luck with it, and have fun! :+1:

haha cool idea. The people (human or alien) who is watching this creature should be at the equivalent tech level of 18th century human. They will fill in the blank with superstition like bad omen or specific number. I am more leaning towards folk lore aspect, like how human depict comet or eclipse into monsters.

A creature at that scale would have its own gravity well. It'd be cool if you could show the effects of that somehow.

Nice to see you again! :smiley:
Looks amazing curious to see more! Good luck man :smile:

Such a cool champion! I think the design is very creative and the colour scheme you set up in the draft image looks great already. Love to see more !
