Ah, yes, the weapons!

In Response To: Re: Concept art of Didact's War Sphinxes*IMGs* (bluerunner)


: Awesome work. I was having a hard time visualizing them, and you nailed it.
: This is how I will picture them the next time I read Cryptum.

: A couple of questions - Where are the weapons? How exactly do the arm
: thingies work? Is that Didact or Born standing next to it?

I was imagining the gold lights as sentinel beam-type weapons (except ones that actually do some damage! :P). The ones on his chest would probably be more geared towards defensive / up-close-and-personal situations, while the three gold canons on his arms/wings would be his main, offensive weapons. There's also three other beam projectors underneath his lower leg, and so in flight mode, his legs would be used very similar to his arms/wings, basically as turrets hovering about his torso.

I was also imagining there would be some more secondary weapons alongside his thrusters underneath some of the flaps and wings on his tail. They would become more noticeable in his flight mode (which is also probably his main stance for combat, as it would give him maximum mobility and scope for his weapons).

I have some sketches of him using these weapons, and it basically looks like beams of light issuing forth from this metal, seraphic form.

Oh, and I don't know who that guy is exactly. He may be the Didact... He may not be. But I was definitely going for that taller-Forerunner/Promethean type of being. He's mostly there for scale.
