Giant Tiny Fluff | Hoverbike

A giant tiny fluff illustration featuring Titan and Eden, a cyberpunk demon-hunter lady and her giant demon partner from my story ‘Pulse’.

Titan is a gentle archetype demon or demigod who wears a strange set of golden armor. I created this character in 2011 and often return to the drawing board for more versions of him, his outfits, story, and peers. I’m tagging posts from his story as Titan and Eden, and they’re part of my worldbuilding rambles.

Prints

This piece is available on INPRNT, which also has more size difference and gentle-giant themed illustrations. ♥

The hoverbike whirred and resisted Titan’s hands, as if autonomous.

Eden touched his cheek, feeling the giant head lean towards her. Lashes, pores, laugh lines, weight, all amplified — it was still strange, if not overwhelming to experience Titan’s full size.

To reach out and touch not an holograph, an illusion, but flesh. Seeing him like this reminded her of his home, his temple.

“Scout ahead?” he asked, glinting eyes scanning her expression. Eden’s vehicle wiggled out of his fingers and hovered in the fog, purring softly.

Whatever it meant, the woman smiled at him. Their small break was about to end.

Software

This painting was one of my first Clip Studio experiments, and months later I fully transitioned to CSP, unless I needed other image softwares for file handling, specific color profiles, or client requests.

It’s an incredible software, with 3D features and one of the best watercolor brushes I’ve ever seen, plus a store filled with free resources. I’m happy that I bought it a while ago and fully recommend friends to wait until it’s on sale. Here in Brazil it costs around 150 BRL when on sale.

Titan and Eden

They’re mercenaries in a cyberpunk meets demons and fantasy world. Think Shin Megami Tensei with Mushishi, Cowboy Bebop (and other 80s and 90s sci-fi anime inspirations) and a dash of magic.

Titan is a size-shifting demon or demigod (depending on whom you ask) living a reclusive life until a party of demon hunters accidentally crashes into his temple.

Among the invaders he finds Eden, who does a favor for him and his lair — at a great cost. He feels compelled to thank her somehow, and decides to spend some time catching up with the human world outside as a new mercenary.

The Story – Ao3

“Pulse” (Ao3 link) is a long one-shot about them, which consists of the duo talking and reminiscing about how they met. I’ve been writing this scenario for many years, so the one-shot became a long lore exposition chapter I revisit often, for fun.

CW: Blood, fantasy violence, profane lore — often mentions gods, demons, and angels as the entities that live among humans in that world. Titan and Eden are a couple (of course they are!) and in an intimate romantic relationship as well.

WIPs and abandoned sketches

A selection of Titan x Eden sketches that are scattered in my blogs and social media. There should be more in my Titan and Eden — and G/T tags.

They’re at… the beach? Titan’s garden? A Hunter’s resort? Who knows.

The colors were muddy and the perspective/anatomy needed some fixes, then my Dragon Age project happened and I archived this painting.

Titan’s appearance shifting powers

In Titan and Eden’s story, centuries ago Titan was human until An Event™ turned him into an entity/demon.

He gained nice perks such as not aging like humans do, size-shifting, and changing his appearance to seem younger or older at will. The process isn’t instantaneous, though, and it would take him a few weeks to transition into a new visage. Titan’s armor design post has more ramblings about this character and his “lore”.

Giant/tiny art commissions

The hoverbike scene is an example of my painterly sketch commission style.

If you’re interested in something similar, please let me know! Here are some client examples, and a similar Macross/Zentraedi scene for a gorgeous story by Birdie.

Small characters (such as Eden!) aren’t charged as a full-body character, since they’re usually small in the illustration. This depends on their size in relation to the canvas and composition, resulting in discounts based on a hourly estimate fee, or slashing the extra character fee as a whole.

Patreon (hi-res sketches, art insights and more ♥)

The high-res version of this painting and its sketching stage WIP’s are available to all my Patreon supporters. Thank you.
