So here's one of the big antagonists, revamped for a new site. Background's got to match the rest of the paper look, otherwise it's the usual mix of pencil crayons and a few ink links.
Nigh's inspiration was a cross between the giant doom bird in (Pink Floyd's) The Wall, and the Roger Dean-style eyes as seen on the Asia album covers of the previous millennium.

Oh, I almost forgot! This is actually just half a drawing. I drew one side on a full-size sheet and then mirrored it for a complete top view. I needed a really huge image so I can create a silhouette, and put a techno-dungeon crawl inside. The only way to bring it down is from the inside.
Just rewatched the 'Goodbye Blue Sky' sequence from 'The Wall' to get some reference for this stirring Eqyptesque submission. I have to remember that when Roger Waters was criticized for being so vocally anti-Trump, being asked since when were Pink Floyd songs political, he replied that they Pink Floyd songs were always political, and wasn't the critic listening?
Certainly not without crossing over to other franchises, at least. I bet that the Space Battleship Yamamoto would be a surprisingly fair fight. But really, any franchise that can support an exchange that during the Cold War would have been sterilely described as "a vigorous thermonuclear exchange" would be hard-fought for even Nigh.
Packing "a vigorous thermonuclear exchange" into a single hull, though, that's an impressive achievement.
(Let's not go so far as the Death Star, or Gurren Lagann; they don't really have a sense of scale comparable to even the mightiest of class-1 civilizations.)

Normally a drawing like this wouldn't mean much... something abstract I'd think... but knowing Rym's story, this is chilling. It's like Nigh is looking down at you, but if you are already directly below to see this angle, either the bombs have been dropped and you are already dead, or you're not a target.
