Onyx Ape version 2.0

In my previous blog I said that I wanted Obsydia's forces to be made of mostly stone and what not, but after strong consideration it wouldn't make a lot of sense for the enemy of the world (as Obsidia is in my novel) to have forces that would be so easily dispatched. So I have re-designed the beasts.

This design is more reminiscent of a robot, and though my novel is technically fantasy, it does have certain Aesthetic allowances more common with Science Fiction.

I will give credit to my friend Mikella Touchstone for reminding me about the Warmachine tabletop game by Privateer Press. In this game the there are various factions that make use of machines called Warjacks. Warjacks run on furnaces with exhaust pipes and that's something my automaton's have in common.

The Onyx Ape version 2.0, standing near the edge of the divide; a tumultuous region of Giaos riddled with unpredictable geothermic activity.
