I'd like to thank my watchers for the massive inspiration and support for my art, thank you! Here's my last reference made in 2016, for Erath, the Sand Titan. He is part of a group of 4 Titans who are at war with each other. This redrawn Erath was inspired by Ancient Egypt stuff.
The Paziman people were quite brutish for a sapient species, and they also had a biological trait that gives them hyperendurance, they never get tired. The Komorians saw these traits and thought of taking over the Pazimans and using them as soldiers or slave labor, however, they were easy to revolt and rebel from "the unfair". So Komorians thought of a long term strategy. Over the next 890 years, they would summon a vengeful god to their world, threaten them with endless sandstorms and being a dictator overall so they would obey and worship, and grow a religion about him.
Enter an AI Gravity Orb, finetuned to attract sand in its gravitational roots. He was shot from a spacecraft and into a beach near a large Paziman town. As he crashed, some ancient Pazimans could see the sands swirling around the Orb. The ancients call it "Thnomen", The Sandsphere ritual. As more sand was gathered, he took the form of a muscular, 4 armed winged Dragonic being, and even the sand formed into a pendant and a cloth. The terrified Pazimans fled the scene, but Erath's fast sandstorm movements allowed him to reach the village first, and he started demanding full obedience. Warriors fought at first to be decimated by Erath's massive feet, and overtime, the town surrendered, but not without a completely razed and destroyed town.
Overtime, the accumulated sand made him grow even bigger and more menacing, and the people naturally formed a religion about him. Rituals, work and offerings of sand were common. As Paziman technology progressed, Erath was told to depart the world and introduce Erath's "apostles", the Komorians, who would take over where Erath left off. Black and white television sets recorded that fateful departure, one that made the Pazimans a slave race of the Komorians. Many have fought the Komorians, but Erath did come back occasionally, to destroy them and anything that would oppose Komorian rule.
After a while Pazimans got used to Komorian rule. And Erath? He found himself a world to live in, full of sand, full of space to make tiny Eraths, human sized Eraths, to make a civilization that served him. But then Mezhul came to that world, and destroyed everything Erath loved, his sandcities, his people, and even the trees Erath learned to love. He fought him, but Mezhul could hold him off, temporarily disintegrating him. As Mezhul returned to his creator, Vothoz, in his spacecraft, Erath reformed and grew as large as he could with the sand, but Mezhul could escape through FTL. Now Erath seeks revenge on him for destroying his peace. And his next destination is clear.
