I finally made something. This was made with a mouse in Photoshop, using Pen/Path tool, with only three colors (white, black, and red) and a handful of layers. Only one side was drawn and then it was mirrored.It then had textures applied on it with the help of GIMP's color to alpha tool (three textures, one texture for each "color"). I will upload the untextured version and the textures soon (with some description of how they were made).This piece was inspired by Aurastys' "Death Tomb 6000" ( [link] ) and Peter Gabriel's "The Tower That Ate People" ( [link] ), but more the former than the latter, so yeah.Now, have some writing to go with it.Somewhere underground, out in some nearly uninhabitable hostile wilderness there's this giant machine, so big that you can walk around inside it, roaring and ticking and shrieking away seemingly without ever needing to stop. Its circuitry and inner chambers are adorned with various grotesque masks, murals, and gargoyles. Looking through certain portholes in this mechanical complex, you will see that some of the working parts appear to be made out of the crimson insides some sort of living thing, in stark contrast with the rust and grey around them.At the heart of this complex you encounter a giant coffin, with a translucent lid that's harder than the stuff they make shark tanks out of. In spite of the fairy-tale associations of the transparent coffin, it's no less threatening than the rest of the machine, in fact, as you will soon see, it's even worse.Peering inside the crypt, you see that the lining is made of the same blood-red organic stuff. Lying in the crypt is a pale, shriveled, unmoving stationary thing. The thing looks human, but then you can see its eyes, which are a far deeper and brighter shade of red than the organic components of the machine.They're glaring out at the world outside, possibly even at you, and there's this horrible, primal force being exuded from them that sets off all your warning signals and tells you to fucking run for it and never ever come back.You don't know if the machine is it's life support/protector, or if it's a clever prison that works by forcing it to be in a deathly sleep all the time. You don't know what it is or why it's here, but you DO know that, for whatever reasons that you can and even can not fathom, the world, no, the entire motherfucking cosmos, will be grateful if he never escapes.
