DRAKA 3 'WHY' rework
🕑 Added 2023-10-07 15:31:22 +0000 UTCI reworked a shot I haven't lost but wanted to improve for a while now. So, I used the opportunity. Now to rebuild what I have actually lost! New ornithopter-inspired wings by Uluncha and I also included the actual audio featuring Misty.
Look to your left. So much contrasting color noise! I did use the pallet I established earlier but somehow it ended up cluttering everything. So, for the redo I wanted to roll back to my favorite combination of colors from the GoPro shot of Rosine that you could see in this old preview: https://youtu.be/36v0cjQuNIg?si=rGtfkrhQRseA0dcY
That red/pale yellow/pale cyan combo.
To improve this shot I ended up redrawing all of the 2D (Guts on her back and the Queen of Elves herself in her totally not a vagina-like shell-cockpit of her apostle body) and remodeling the Moth head and finally making a 3D Moth abdomen as well.
Most of her apostle shots are in 2D because traditional fluidity is very good for big and scary. But I figured if 3D belly only appears in this shot I might still use it as a reference later. I actually rather like
Uluncha made the new insect legs before I lost my files, you can see the stumps I modeled initially on the left. Now let's look at Paul Allen's DRAKA 3 WHY rework on the RIGHT...

It's so nice to hear the audio along with the shot! She does remind me of Battra on the right too. Also yeah, I think the vaginal cockpit is intentional as most apostles do have phallic/vaginal symbolism in their released forms. This part of the fight always disturbs me because of how slow he is with hurting her. Especially since we know her history and that men have been hurting her all her life. The Dragon Slayer must've been superheated too, since he was waiting in the fire for a good while before striking.
