OLD DESCRIPTION: "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." - Franklin D. Roosevelt
The big cheese, the head honcho, the grand poobah of pain! At the time, I wanted to call back to his Eternity 1 look with the gritty aesthetics of his appearance in Eternity's End. The graphic between his uppermost two horns is the "Eye of Shal'metus", a design I released in a previous art project, representing his inner being (I guess). Each of his arms is equipped with a bracer, each containing a different Eternity Gem. I was 100% ripping off Thanos in this respect, but nostalgia keeps me from regretting it. I wanted this to feel like the final phase of his evolution; like every form before this one was intermediary and simply a stepping stone to this one last moment. Ultimately, this moment never came to pass, though perhaps simply showing it is better than nothing.
