Fantasy Scifi professional concept- art, mad- cybrpnkimprss style, The Shrike, from the Hyperion Cantos: a menacing half- mechanical, half- organic four- armed humanoid creature, able to control the flow of time (motion lines, implied dynamism:0. 5). based on the descriptions from the novels, the creature seems to be composed of razorwire, thorns, blades, and cutting edges, though whether this is merely an external layer of armor or not remains a mystery. when I imagine the creature, I think of something with (the approximate form of General Grievous), but (with the texture of Sauron), with both likenesses taken from their respective cinematic depictions. The background should be an epic portrayal of the labyrinthine world of Hyperion. The overall vibe should be both awe- inspiring and terrifying
