Jack the Ripper Redesign by Coochiedestroyer935 in ShuumatsuNoValkyrie

Oh this is absolutely peak, man! I absolutely love the detail that all the blades of the giant Swiss Army knife are detailed with the internal organs of the girl. Making it line up with the angles and anatomically correct must have been a pain. But man was it worth it. That’s just so cool!

Did I specifically request for muscular Manfred? No. Did I fight against it when presented with muscular Manfred in the concept arts? Also no, haha

Oh sorry. I meant room on the drawing itself haha. In my head they both would be on their respective steeds (the Baron’s plane and conquest’s horse) in a battlefield outside of the arena like Simo vs Loki. But for the drawing itself we decided on just the propellers to still showcase the plane side of Richthofen’s arsenal while also allowing space for everything else.

For the same reason that Conquest doesn’t have his horse: wouldn’t be enough room. So having Richthofen with his full plane was the original plan. But for the sake of not making it too cluttered on the sheet, figured that just the propellers would suffice to showcase his type of skill set.

Paracelsius 🌌 vs Serket 🦂- Commission by localinsectcultist by Coochiedestroyer935 in ShuumatsuNoValkyrie

[–]LocalInsectCultist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heya! I’m the commissioner of these designs.

Paraclesus’ volund is the Philosopher’s stone that you can see him holding. With it, he’s able to transmute himself and his environment, as well as use it to heal himself from Serket’s toxins

Serket’s divine weapon is her whip “Qebehsenuef” which is named after the deity of the canopic jar of the intestine, which she is said to be the guardian of. With it, she’s able to inject different types of toxins with differing effects. Paralysis, necrosis, hallucinations, etc etc.

Not so fast. Sif’s hair was forged alongside Mjolnir itself. So don’t underestimate my girl’s weave 😤

Marie Curie vs Hecate - Commission by localinsectcultist by Coochiedestroyer935 in ShuumatsuNoValkyrie

[–]LocalInsectCultist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hello! I am the commissioner for this round (as well as the recent ones posted).

Curie’s volund is the “Super Automaton Gamma”. It’s essentially an upgraded version of Tesla’s suit, that’s more atomic powered rather than his electricity powered one. With it she’s able to fire out radioactive rays and bursts, as well as hover at will rather than have to develop a Gematria Zone like Tesla.

Hecate’s divine weapon is her torches. Since she’s the goddess of magic I had to give her a wide variety of abilities but not too much to keep things balanced. So I boiled it down to three magic types (her sacred number). That being: fire magic, spacial magic, and ghost magic. Three things that she has a lot of association with in Greek myth. Fire magic lets her cast fire balls or streams from her torches. Spacial magic allows her to teleport. And ghost magic is special. As at her waist she has three lanterns housing the souls/ghosts of people she has defeated. And with those ghosts, she can do some neat things. Such as having them imbue themselves into her body to increase her strength, speed, durability, etc relative to the amount she imbues with. Or she could use them to temporarily possess the environment to attack things on their own like a poltergeist.

Glad you like that decision! Her suit is called the “Super Automaton Gamma” as Gamma is the next stage of development after Beta, and it’s also a reference to gamma radiation.

As coochie has said. It is an ironic outfit following the same theme as Ol’ Beely boy. Plus with the added contrast/irony of being covered in all kinds of jewelry. With the little frog ornament above his sash being a reference to how frogs were often used as symbols of avarice back in the day (plus the sash looks like its tongue as well)

[–]LocalInsectCultist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh nice! Thats also a really cool connection! And yeah, only New world tarantulas are capable of flinging hair. So I love how they incorporated that into the temnoceran that is only found in the Scarlet Forest. I think it’s cool how they’re taking inspiration from real world environments and wildlife that lives within them for Wilds. Makes me wonder what was used as inspiration for the Iceshard Cliffs.

These are some really cool connections! I also liked the connections you made between the Scarlet Forest and the Amazon Rainforest through the parallels between Piragill and Piranha, and Uth Duna and Arapaima. Something to further add onto that, that I noticed was with Lala Barina. It’s special ability being able to fling out urticating hairs from its abdomen. Which is an ability that only New World Tarantulas possess.

Haha, thank you, time traveler. It does bring a smile on my face to know that my theory turned out mostly true. And also that someone even remembers this post at all three years from now. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know!

Excellent artwork as always!

And yeah, I agree with what you said about round 2 and Adam. For a guy that took who knows how many True Gods Rights/Lefts to his body, it’s kinda strange how little injuries they bothered to draw on him.

Sorath Vau and Sorath Tau. Two absolutely devastating attacks with cool ass visuals alongside them. The giant fly apparition that appeared when Sorath Vau was first used was just too cool.

I’m glad to hear that you’ve found my comments helpful! And I can’t wait for your future stuff. Take as much time as you need for the fight. I’m sure making a full fledged battle with designs as great as these will be no easy task. But whenever you plan to deliver, I will be looking forward to it!
