Ah. As kinda expected a completely deformed.... human. (?)

Jesse James

Is the Sarcophagus biotech or a human? These designs are nuts. Great work, I'd love to see a breakdown of the Imperium's troop designs.

Miningation

it’s a biosuit that acts as a psionic amplifier for the Thought-Lord within

Miningation

i also imagine it acts as a life support system as the pilot is looking rather frail

CallumStephenDiggle

Miningation is on the ball, those replies to your comment are completely correct.

Fernando Ruiz

Wow, the way he decided to fight back a super telepathic being with a kick on the nuts it’s awesome XD

Isaac Solar

Now that's badass!! Also, was the sarcophagus layer that thick, I guess thought lords must just be a power projection, weak and brittle on the inside.

Shawn Bond

And the sarcophagus itself was derived from human DNA. Think of it like a Russian doll.

Miningation

it’s probably AM propaganda to make thought-lords seem like this ideal state of ascension when really they’re weak and decaying inside the sarcophagus. it almost looks like it’s ceramic or something judging by the way it broke into shards

Isaac Solar

Hm, but what does all- mother have to do with propagqnda when she has already full control? I'd be more efficient to just make them very capable instead of weak. Like.. maybe make another living organic overfather suit for a dying overfather, to make it more powerful I guess 😅?

Erika Spooner

Overfather vs Iron man without psionic powers, who would win? Also when we first saw Deicide when he was telepathically communicating with Loste he was BIG, for a while I thought Deicide was 20 feet tall. Does a stronger user of psionics appear physically bigger when communicating using it?

Lukak

Hey man you’re totally killing it, you should totally post some of this stuff on twitter (or other socials) as I’m sure if people saw how much you’ve been working lately (3 whole pages in 10 days!) many would start following!

Blas Borde

Deicide has no chill, he went straight for the groin!

CallumStephenDiggle

Thanks Lukak! Maybe I will, I don’t post enough to be honest. I do like keeping a lot of my art exclusive to patreon though as a special thanks to people who chose to support my work.

CallumStephenDiggle

Probably Iron man, he has the advantage of flight and long range weapons whereas an Over-Father without use of psionics lacks range, if the Over-Father could get hold of Tony then the story might go differently. As for those early psionic messaging sequences, it was really just to impose the grandeur and importance of Deicide as a character. It was also to signify that Losté is a comparatively small mind that is unused to the method of communication, whereas Deicide is a tremendous intellect that is adept at psionic communication.

CallumStephenDiggle

He’s a kickass character, you’ll see a few more of his feats coming up in this flashback. I won’t spoil anything though 🤫 the Sarcophagus is about 2 inches thick at its thinnest point, some areas are thicker. They certainly are, they’re like a Wizard or a mage from dungeons & dragons. A tough opponent when at a range, but not so much when that distance is closed.

CallumStephenDiggle

I probably should have aimed that knee a little higher, a lot of people are making nut jokes 😂 ah well, at least it’ll be a memorable moment haha

Erika Spooner

A battle with Iron man might go differently if Deicide picks up an object and throws it at just the right time.

Miningation

addressing Isaac here: not for Over-Fathers. and I’ve been wondering the same thing about making them capable, they obviously have the ability to repair themselves on their womb worlds, but I assume it is either 1: AM intentionally keeps them ageing so they don’t live long enough to discover the truth, or 2: it has something to do with how much the mind can handle. i am favouring theory 1 here as an OF/TL brain is very expansive due to their psionic abilities

Lukak

Sure, I totally understand;)

Isaac Solar

Theory 1 makes sense, I forgot they can live long enough that they can gather information on their own, and they also can't just be eliminated, or disposed off, that would bring too much doubt, so some symbolic ascension to a new state of being is the way to go.

The Mysterious Mark

Oh goodness, this is better than the line art. Epic as hell. 🤘

The Mysterious Mark

I adore the juxtaposition between the sarcophagus and person within.

CallumStephenDiggle

Thanks, Mark! Yeah the colours really do just finish it off and give it the pop it needed.

Gabu

Agh! The vivid colors and action!! Love how Deicide’s floating psyonic “eye” gets blown back by the motion like a flame!

Erika Spooner

I wonder if a Great Kraken could submerge itself underwater. We could rip off Atlantis: The Lost Empire by having the Bo hiding in an ice shell moons subsurface ocean and getting attacked by an Imperium warship underwater.

Black Cloud

Rereading this, I think this is the first time I've seen a character who that actually uses the pointy pits on their armour for more than intimidation.

Miningation

you literally can’t touch Deicide anywhere without being impaled

Davide

Bloody hell! the Thought Lord true form is brilliant, shows how for the All-Mother you are a slave forever

CallumStephenDiggle

I’m going a bit wild with the colours, but it’s a lot of fun. Thanks, I figured that out a few pages ago and now I’m using it all the time. It’s a useful bit of comic language to depict movement.

CallumStephenDiggle

That’s a good point actually, you rarely see that happen with characters with pointy armour.

CallumStephenDiggle

Heh thanks Davide! Yeah, there’s no freedom within the imperium ranks.
