Description

I think it's done. Finally. My eyes are killing me. I just KNOW someone is going to start nit-picking. All I can say is.....BRING IT. I've got a Wacom and a lot of time to avoid writing papers. I'll take your complaints, fix em, and laugh! So NYAH.

For those of you who haven't been following, I sketched it out in pencil [seen in scraps], then gradually painted over it in Photoshop, making design changes as I went.

Now all I need to worry about is a better background..

*Deep breath*

Well, basically it was a concept I had years ago. My Craftworld was heavily industrial in nature and liked to use really big machines to fight with. They came up what was then known as a CeKaran [God-Tower], a large Wraith unit to slowly phase out the need for the larger [and less effective] Titans. Course at the time, the concept was a NG Evangelion unit with a Wraithlord head [I was stupider and easily impressed then].

The new CeKaran [aka Wraithknights] were designed by sheer chance while I was designing a new Revanent. I had slapped around multiple head designs on a single page, and several of them joined together into a thin but graceful skeletal structure shape I found pleasing, which after some work I turned into the Advocate.

Afterwards, I decided the Wraithknights would need a support variant that could not only be capable be tearing big holes in Titan armor, but also strengthen the link between it and the smaller Wraithguard.While sketching out the concepts, I noted how curiously similar the head was to a bird's. So I thought it would be amusing to draw the new design in a more dynamic pose that would play on that illusion.

And....well, there you go.

i am a lore nerd with a special interest in eldar and the biggest propblem i can see with this is that the paper seems to be invoking gods or other religius stuff with the eldar are scared of since there pantheon got eaten. but since they birthed a new god i chould see this being funnily enough a harlequin or ynnead knight which is awesome :D
