Default Kodos\' Kooky Art Shack

Thats right. For once I am announcing a new shipset, rather then demanding/asking/pleading for one. This shipset is part of an even greater project called Project Eternal Darkness.

What is Project Eternal Darkness? It is a project to create art related to the Jonol Shadow. This includes
-A Jonol Shipset
-Jonol Character Images
-Legion Race Images
-A Darkness GUI for SEIV
-Darkness System and Planet Types for LR Mod

Who are the Jonol, you ask? Allow me to explain.

The Jonol are a race of evil demons who desire only to genocide all life in the cosmos, in order to appease their dark god, the Lord of Darkness, Va'roci. The Jonol can bend reality to their will, and build ships as large as Red Giants. Truely they are the stuff of nightmares. They are also the main antoginists in LR mods single player scenarios. The Dark Legion, or The Legion, is an alliance of enslaved races that serve the Jonol.

Who is working on this project? Me and Atrocity (A member of the SE:Legacies forums, not to be confused with Atrocities. Plural. See. Yeah. We need to find him a new name.) Basically Atrocity does the art, and I say "Oooh shiny picture."

So far, we have only done the Character art, but he has sent me a few mock ups of Jonol ships, and they are looking good. To show you all that we mean business, here are the Character images for your enjoyment. I will post more as it is sent to me, all leading up to the final download.

The Spawn of the Darkness
The Ravagers
The Sea of Darkness
The Shadow of Va'roci
Jonol



The Dreamer
The Scourge of Worlds
The Enemy of the Soul
The Darkness
Va'roci



EDIT: Quite obviously, the whole thing is being done in Photoshop. But I like the outcome, and it would be near impossible to do some of the things we plan to do in 3D, without hiring professionals.

Use a 'spraycan tool' that will paint a fuzzy edge, then paint hard black lines on top of that. Or use layers of some kind.

I look forward to the final set. Will be very interesting to add these to my monster collection. Good work. And still very ID looking. (Reference the Forbidden Planet)

The claws look too long. They make the entire thing look like it originated from a bad B-horror cartoon which went entirely haywire.
