| Civan and their Mardukan riders. |
I confess: Fun as creature design may be, it does take time to come up with something decent. So when it comes to sketching for this blog, I tend to avoid the harder-to-imagine creatures/aliens... Or go with a fairly basic design, say, based on examples on the cover, if any.
But the civan, at least, seem to be pretty straightforward. They're often compared to velociraptors (though obviously much, much bigger. More like utahraptors.) Nasty critters.
Now imagine a cavalry of several hundred civan, ridden by 3-meter-tall, four-armed Mardukans armed to the teeth with lances... shields... massive swords... black powder pistols. Colorful, billowing banners bearing the emblems of their once great, now fallen, cities. Charging full-tilt (like the one in the lower right corner in the sketch above.) Ohhh yes. That's a picture begging to be painted.
