Mermay contribution! Never done anything like that online yet, but there's a first for everything. This creature is what I imagined would happen if a Slayer in their Shrike armor transformed into a mercreature that listed human features as (optional).
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, don't worry! A Shrike is a monster (aka: Behemoth) from an online rpg (I really hope I'm getting my video game terms right) called "Dauntless". You play as a Slayer in the Shattered Isles, a frontier of landmasses afloat in the atmosphere. You need to slay Behemoths, monsters that feed on Aether, which is powerful energy that keeps the islands together. If left unchecked, Behemoths would eventually consume the world. Every Behemoth you successfully slay will drop parts unique to their species, which you can use to craft armor and weapons.
I'm very fond of the Shrike, so I drew a Mer Shrike with some Shrike armor elements.
(If you're wondering about the medium, its a sandwich wrap paper and whatever pens I found lying around. Work was reeeeaaaallly slow that day lmao)
I always hoped that any Mortal Engines film adaptation would be done by Studio Ghibli, what with the airships, and the post-apocalyptic world built on the ruins of an advance civilisation. It’s basically Laputa with the city a little closer to the ground ;)
So, inspired by watching the film last week, here (belatedly) is my attempt at a Ghibli-style Shrike & young Hester
My take on Stalker Shrike from Mortal Engines
(also a style experiment)
I believe I should probably share these!
