Beyond Human Challenge: Villains

The antagonists in my Beyond Human Challenge submission: The Radiant. A rapidly evolving species of powerful alien beings who evolve based on each encounter they have with humans. Starting off defensive, progressively trying to mimic humans and then evolving towards enigmatic reflections of archetypes found in the human brain, you can see the designs escalating towards more humanoid shapes.

I chose to light from the bottom because you always see heroic portraits of humans with lights seemingly from the heavens casting down on them, so as to look up towards the gods.

These beings are practically gods and have no light to look up to, they look down on everything, there is nothing left to aspire to, they are it.
