Original small glyphs, eight shell directions

The eight orbs keep fine stone and ceramic mineral wear, distinct shell colours and their original small cream eye glyphs. MAGNUS stays dark slate. These paired views show the selected paintings beside the latest appearance in a dark studio.

A soft accent halo surrounds the eyes, the textured inlays are brighter and phase-driven, and the engraved sigils are easier to read. The owner has approved this appearance as the default for reference-fight and gameplay captures. The next captures will show it in those scenes.

The six-second material study shows TERRA, BLAZE and MAGNUS with real-time inlay phase and a slow camera move. Core interiors still look flat, halos are subtle on a phone, and the channels show granular shimmer. This is a calm appearance demonstration; it does not establish finished energy, gameplay or fight motion.

Six-second material study

Work in progress Six-second material study: TERRA, BLAZE and MAGNUS. Real-time inlay phase and slow camera move; flat cream cores and subtle halos remain unfinished. Granular channel shimmer remains visible, especially at phone size.

The approved default appearance

Eight selected paintings beside owner-approved default orb appearances with mineral wear, cream eyes and bright textured inlays
Work in progress Owner-approved default appearance for reference and gameplay: original cream glyphs, soft accent halos, bright textured inlays and more readable sigils. New moving captures remain to be reviewed.
MAGNUS painting beside the approved dark slate appearance with cream minus and plus eyes and a bright textured blue meridian
Work in progress MAGNUS: the dark mineral shell and original cream glyphs remain, with a bright textured blue inlay and readable sigil. Core interiors are still flat and the halo hue is subtle.
TERRA painting beside the approved warm stone appearance with cream rectangular eyes, an engraved sigil and a bright green textured inlay
Work in progress TERRA: warm mineral wear, cream rectangular glyphs and a brighter textured green inlay. The currents look grainy in this still; their phase-driven movement is not demonstrated here.
