The trunk/proboscis is the main upper part of the mouth, acting much like an elephant's, but the "lower jaw" is actually made up of two mandibles much like an insect. more of my take on ancients under their helms, + associated helms off to the side. Trunk/Proboscis design thoughts under the readmore

With the pink farm arrays pearl dialogue mentioning nectar I assumed they'd have some kind of proboscis, coupled with all the vanilla murals having long masks which to me implied they at least had long faces. The two downpour murals are stranger, and they hold less canon weight to me so I chalked it up to foreshortening and a upward curled proboscis. Additionally, the echoes have a "head" tendril that I took as inspiration for the trunk. The statues in the depth have flat faces, which initially was a discouragement from the proboscis headcanon, but it could be wrapped around to the proboscis/trunk being removed from the statue as a representation of further separation from an ancient's identity (the face being crossed out), and thus a better transition to ascension.

Am I the only one that interprets the echoes "tentacles" as loose bandages? Like, most of them were already bandaged in life

Please tell me that not everybody take them as being literal tentacles

Some little Ancients I designed last night! I decided to finally give it a go and practice drawing them for the first time, and I'm really happy with how these two turned out! I thought capturing the complexity of their designs and the geometric nature of their masks would be a lot harder, but honestly it was pretty fun to just somewhat absentmindedly add whatever on them!

Generally I tend to break the Ancient designs into 2 categories: the "street style" ones which feature more modern clothing (namely t-shirts and sneakers) and the "antiquated" ones with more traditional outfits. Here I just did one of each for practice.

Also, here's the full page below, with some initial concept notes for how I plan to portray these guys:

As you can see, my love of anthropomorphism means that even though these guys are humanoid, I will still find a way to make them animal-like!

[roadkill-punk]

I think these guys are really cool looking

What's their deal anyway

[toxictoxicities]

Fixed up Valleys face a little and also designed an Ancient for @distant-frontier-simp ! (Five Meadows, A Grazed Tooth)

I'm glad to design an Ancient for you boo~!
