: I can definitely picture what you described and it's an interesting image.
: Scale is a tricky thing to portray properly anyway - while my mental image
: of the arches isn't quite as massive as yours I still see them as being at
: least a kilometer thick, probably more than that (not sure if that's
: apparent). If the arches or Charum Hakkor are ever illustrated in official
: canon, I would actually prefer the architecture (especially the human one)
: to be more imposing and vast, with more playing with the vertical element
: than I've done and perhaps less conventional structural features. And like
: in real cities there should be variety to the human architecture, with
: layers of construction laid over one another over thousands of years to
: create a very eclectic mishmash of styles and construction techniques.

: I also like the idea of a constantly changing surface texture (I actually
: tried to give the impression of a somewhat liquid-like surface with the
: sphere in "Dawn of Man"). Things like variable reflectivity and
: texture or the illusion that there are some kind of impossible
: Lovecraftian geometries inside the surface itself would be right in line
: with my imaginings.

: Prometheus gave me some Precursor vibes too and the Giger-style grotesque and
: organic aesthetic has always existed as a secondary association for me
: when I think of the Precursors, even though I prefer the idea of either
: total smoothness or just completely mind-bending geometric/dimensional
: trickery that may be impossible to even adequately depict.

I like it when you guys talk precursor to me. Thanks for the art Archilen and for the conversation from both of you!
