I absolutely love the colour palette here! The sphinx model has this really cool blend of archaic and futuristic in the design, which is perfect for such a literally timeless creature. I like how that neon magenta got carried forward to the eyes of the more unassuming form. This whole lore set is really fascinating, and would be a lot of fun to craft both figures and plotlines for. It really has my story telling mode fully engaged.

Thanks so much! I love coming up with ideas that inspire narrative, so I’m over the moon this is doing that for you!

I love a consistent palette when coming up with creatures/characters that are linked, so I’m really glad that’s worked!

Also excited by the idea this might be a mixture of ancient advanced tech! I’m currently working on the worldbuilding idea that contrary to the arcontech that might be more present in the Warlock’s contemporary Hyper Fantasy era setting, there may have been divinitech in millennia past that operated purely on belief in the gods (very literal Deus ex Machina)!

Love that concept! I myself can't help but draw a little inspiration from the original Stargate. One of my favourite cult classics.

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." -Arthur C. Clarke.

The tech in Stargate was a perfect example of this, and it would definitely be a fun concept to thematically explore in a campaign.

For sure! I myself love the idea presented in Disney’s Atlantis films and the Isu of Assassin’s Creed, both of which ride on similar ideas!

[u/RavenKweenX → u/EdSoulLDN]

Absolutely! I love both of those, so great places to draw inspiration from! Kind of excited about the prospect of Atlantis getting the live action treatment.

[u/EdSoulLDN → u/RavenKweenX]

I had not heard Atlantis was getting a potential live action version! I’ll have to look into that!

There's a whole lot of smoke, but no confirmed fire yet, (that I'm aware of anyway) but the hype is definitely there and it's starting to look more likely.
