and Oblivion
Good. Finally someone is ditching the shitty 'human but in a different color' garbage. Cosmic being should like fricking weird.
Eon and Epoch were cool with the giant floating tree face thing.
Yeah they aren't bad but even then artists could lean into the eldritch horror angle of it. Anything at least a bit left of fully humanoid would be nice.
Shin megami
Bayonetta
Huh
Even SMT falls back on "giant shiny human head" pretty often for godlike beings
I fear that this is how The One Above All redesgin will looks like
How do you feel about him having multiple faces to represent the multiple beings of creation, and which may or may not be a reference to that Joan Osborne song?
God that dialogue is a bunch of slop.
That word has finally lost all meaning
Immortal Hulk had the best look, yeah it's the "colored human" look but that works for God just a giant glowing human form that you can't look at directly
>Immortal Hulk had the best look
Disagree.
That'd work more if they didnt make him say shit opposed to what kirby believed in.
I liked TOAA's design in Immortal Hulk, but they did make the point that different people perceive him differently- the reporter gal said 'she sounds like my mother' at one point when he was speaking. Abit like that one old page showing how Galactus appears to all the different planets he's consumed.
>Even SMT falls back on "giant shiny human head" pretty often for godlike beings
Lore Reasons.
All Law Godly Chief beings resemble those who they are supposed to govern because we are made at their image.
Yhvh design is very grounded (the sky father) unlike others
So, you're in Micon city, on the 8th floor of daedalus tower. Your first task is to go down and kill the minotaur.
Western world can't into sentient non-evil aliens that aren't bipedal humanoids, I haven't seen a single one East or West that doesn't use DNA for organisms not robots (even a Nucleic Acid-based system without ribose or deoxiribose would at least be something).
A lot of it is because most audiences are mouth breathers so such "alien" entities are literally beyond their (and the writers') comprehension.
There's gotta be an in-universe reason for why abstracts usually come up looking so close to humanoids
i think the octopus/starfish shape of central node with arms and legs is a pretty universal shape because of the needs of sentient material living beings, so it kind of makes sense that a manifestation of a primal force attempting to be understandable to mortals would need to take a shape that's vaguely familiar, rather than, like, a nonmaterial solar-system-sized cloud of subatomic particles
While we're at it, I hate how the Beyonders, who were supposedly some of the most foreign-most beings to existence, just looked like moronic ayys
Good news! Now they just look like tall, blonde dudes in tights. Cosmic Aryans. Isn't that just great?
>Good news! Now they just look like tall, blonde dudes in tights. Cosmic Aryans. Isn't that just great?
Yes.
Sharpe did it in Morrison’s green lantern. Both of those dudes just went completely to shit in the second “season” of that though.
Here's a bigger resolution to the redesign of Oblivion and The Living Tribunal.
Also their covers
sexy palewhite enbie joyfriend. Skibidi toilet ohio rizz. Am I hip yet?
>joyfriend
Is that what the kids are saying these days? I like it.
What the flying hell is a joyfriend
The gods are back, can we get to see the true power of One Above All , the caption and leader of the celestial this time ?
I love the Celestial team, but nowadays, they don't seems to do much and is depower greatly
If you hook up with the female one does it count as a fourway?
The Living Tribunal redesign looking was remind me these things. Made by the same artist btw.
this looks like something out of hyper light drifter and i love it
These are fricking pokemon and I hate it. Seriously stop with the fricking JRPG bosses as villains frickers clash with the rest of the world in the worst possible way
>These are fricking pokemon and I hate it.
I feel the same way but I don't want it to come across like I'm just shitting on an artist but they come across as if "non human" was the sole metric used. Like these could easily be random concepts from artstation
With designs from creators like HP Lovecraft and HR Giger you can feel how much of their own personal fears and obsessions influenced their iconic creatures.
I can't really articulated exactly but "super hero redesign" has a certain energy to it that comes across as very "off"
It's because they HARD clash with the aesthetics of the Marvel Universe, they suffer from the same issue a lot of new characters like the Ashen Combine or Three Mothers do; being over designed as frick making them look like 4K modded Skyrim characters standing next to low rez unmodded vanilla assets. They'd be great in a universe where their design is more cohesive.
This is genuinely the best way to put it. He made Pokémon and for some reason casuals like this homosexual eat it up
And not even good Pokémon designs either, shitty like gen 4 Pokémon rather than OG 150.
I disagree, I think they look rad.
for what they were, giant engines of death stashed away in uranos' armory they were pretty frickin cool
I remember the speculation that those civilian characters being focused on in AvsE were gonna inherit the powers of the super Eternals. Kind of disappointed that it didn't end up happening.
I liked these it's a shame they will probably never get used again. At least they actually made appearance unlike the other things Gillen had planned
>unlike the other things Gillen had planned
ooh like what?
Probably more dogshit
frick you
These look like something out of Ben 10.
I'm a Hickmangay, but I like none of that. The original Abstracts were kind of boring, but they were supposed to look mythical. Now they look like boring no-name alien creatures and shapes. For a series named "GODS" it sure is robbing them of any grandiosity and reducing them to blandness. The only thing less inspired would've been to turn them all into Tumblr Sexy(wo)men in suits. And honestly, I'd have vastly preferred that, than what I'm looking at now.
the designs for the human avatars are decent enough and oblivians works but the living tribunal geometric robot body im less sure of
>G.O.D.S. Living Tribunal design and pose is literally 3rd Angel Sachiel ripoff
Not surprised at all.
I like these designs, they're nifty.
>nifty
This doesn’t feel like a genuine reply
Okay how about this
>Wow chudcelssisters how do we seethe cope.!???
Is that more reddit for you?
I love the Oblivion design. The Living Tribunal looks too busy though.
garbage
neat
giving them human form is lame, the point is that they are so distant.
I like it. The LT is robotic and orderly looking, and Oblivion is like a virus/bacteria which makes sense for someone who is supposed to be chaotic and destructive.
Now that I think about it, were the Quintessons inspired by the Living Tribunal?
I don't care for that alien rock homie look. Also aren't they missing a member?
delightful children from down the lane
They let Danny Devito on the Living Tribunal?
Can you think of anyone who deserves godhood more?
The human form is great but the true form is dogshit compared to the original
I can say the same thing about Oblivion original design which it is still my favorite version of him. The new one isn't look bad, but only his skull animal head feels unnecessary to me because when I think it's face,it should looks mysteries and unrecognized.
Going to be bullshit if they decided to retcon Eternity and Infinity's designs as well.
Not a retcon
That image does a really shit job at making it clear which is named what
This looks considerably lamer than the original, frankly, which is a shame cause the design is okay for abstract alien. I just don't care for it applying to the Living Tribunal. Plus, he shouldn't need a human form at all to begin with.
The abstracts have hosts
I hate it. The OG had a timeless classical look to it like something out of a myth. This looks like 90s parody throwup
>naked dickless golden man with hyper-defined muscles and glowing eyes
>not comic book throwup
Are you saying he'd be better if he had a big golden dick hanging out?
Yes
He needs three dicks.
Kino
Yeah you're right he would be better if he had 3 wieners just out there feeling the breeze.
One's circumcised, one's normal, one's got one of those weird fricked up extra-long foreskins
Watchmen did it and now it's critically acclaimed
Looks kino.
I don't think I've ever read a story that was about a single one of these, I only see them in big crossovers. Except for Galac
They used to show up now and again in Silver Surfer.
Thank God Galactus has been spared one of these awful redesigns.
To be fair, Galactus can look like almost anything to the race that sees him.
Why bother giving them a human form if you are going to ditch their original humanoid form?
These are okay but they lack the ditko charm of the originals.
All of the designs for this moronic series have been awful.

Not sure about these new designs.
>modern desing
disgusting
G.O.D.S. is pure garbage, and you are a complete moron if you like it, or any of hickman's work
>The designs are fine.
>Cosmic beings shouldn’t look like us.
>Fanboys are zealots.
Looks good, I always hated all the cosmic beings looking so human.
