#Ru'thûn's graft does flare upwards a little but i don't know how much height that would add.

[blackwaxidol]

Ru'thûn is no Osmium royal, she has no common blood with the Hive Gods. she comes from no extant Swarm known to the Vanguard, or even most Hive.

her armour is fluted steel, yet coarse like sharkskin. it is older than humanity, and is so deeply impacted into her chitin that tearing it away would flay her hide. within the fine, granulated crevices of her armour are the perfect growing conditions for fatal anaerobes.

(an old side portrait of Ru'thûn from February 2022. reuploaded from my twitter. feel free to click and zoom in.)

#destiny hive #hive oc #oc: Ru'thûn #oh i need a new art tag... um... #blackwax art #i'll xkit a new one later. #ah this is so... there is so much i would change about this. #does not matter right now. #since this is a .png there shouldn't be any loss in quality from my saving it and reuploading here... #i tend not to use my phone like this because of an implicit worry that the image will degrade. i hope it looks fine on desktop. #i can't believe i drew this and two weeks later Witch Queen came out #and the First thing i noticed was that Savathûn had the same heels as Ru'thûn... #the only difference between their shoes is that Ru'thûn does not have the prongs on either side. otherwise it is identical which is funny. #if the background was transparent i would say use this to compare heights since that is what it was meant for. #then again you could just superimpose your own thing onto her. #her neck is craned forward though... #i always say Ru'thûn is 20 (now 22) feet tall withoutn horns because she has no horns adding to her height. #i still do not think her horns or... i forgot the word for her Alien Queen graft... add too much. #a lot of this drawing i would redo... now that i have a nice 3d model to look at perhaps i could do that. #Ru'thûn's graft does flare upwards a little but i don't know how much height that would add. #i think what i will do is get some charts out and then count. #otherwise. for this image. i imagine her full height would be roughly where... #the large gap between the third and fourth spine on her headpiece are (not counting the horn on her forehead). #eugh.
