Dark Warrior Of The Elpidian Empire

“Dark Warrior Of The Elpidian Empire” is a visually captivating and intricate portrait created by the artist Xzendor7, on May 2, 2019. The composition stands as a striking representation of the mysterious and imposing figure of a dark warrior, surrounded by an atmosphere both surreal and fantastical. The piece draws the viewer into a world of opulent geometric structures and otherworldly shapes, infused with a deep sense of foreboding and mysticism. This portrait, like much of Xzendor7’s work, uses fractal-based techniques to generate complex and mesmerizing patterns, revealing a combination of order and chaos in the representation of this enigmatic figure.

Main Subject: The Dark Warrior

At the center of the composition lies the dark warrior, an imposing figure that blends seamlessly into the fractal elements surrounding it. The warrior’s face is not a traditional human visage but an abstract form composed of intricate shapes and flowing lines that suggest an almost mechanical or alien appearance. The eyes, however, are the most striking feature. Their vivid, swirling blue hues create an intense focal point that seems to pierce through the image. These eyes stand out against the darker tones of the face, which is predominantly rendered in shades of black and gray, giving the figure a spectral and intimidating presence.

The warrior’s body is obscured by the fractal structures, yet hints of its form can be deciphered through the layering of geometric elements. The figure’s posture suggests a calm but deliberate power, as though it is waiting for something or someone. Its imposing nature is underscored by the strong visual symmetry of the surrounding patterns, which frame the figure and add to the sense of grandeur and strength.

Surrounding Elements: The Elpidian Empire

The fractal elements that surround the dark warrior evoke a sense of a vast, ancient empire. These geometric patterns resemble structures that could belong to an otherworldly civilization, their precision and complexity suggesting a technologically advanced society. The surrounding environment does not follow any traditional landscape format but instead is a series of interconnected fractal patterns that may represent the empire’s stronghold or realm. The patterns gradually build outwards, creating a sense of depth and space that draws the viewer into the image as if one were standing at the precipice of the empire.

Strategically placed elements within the composition seem to represent the empire’s citadels or towers. These structures, rendered in fractal form, are both organic and mechanical in appearance, blurring the lines between natural and artificial. Their glowing tips suggest a sense of energy or power emanating from within, hinting at the high-tech nature of the empire or the mystical energy that sustains it.

A sense of vastness and infinity pervades the composition, enhanced by the way the fractal patterns recede into the distance. This creates an impression of boundless space, where the viewer can imagine the endless reaches of the Elpidian Empire stretching beyond what is visible in the frame. The warrior, standing at the forefront, seems like both a protector and a ruler of this vast domain, embodying the power and dominance of the empire.

Materials and Techniques

The material used in the creation of this artwork is not traditional in the sense of paint or canvas. Instead, the piece is born from fractal art, a style that employs mathematical formulas and algorithms to generate images. This technique allows for the creation of intricate, infinitely repeating patterns that seem to evolve organically. The artist uses these fractal patterns to craft a visually dense and complex composition, where every detail holds significance.

The use of shadows and light plays a crucial role in the mood and atmosphere of the artwork. The dark tones of the warrior’s form contrast starkly with the brighter areas of the geometric structures, which seem to glow from within. These contrasting elements create a dynamic interplay of light and darkness, symbolizing the eternal conflict or balance between opposing forces. The lighting in the image emphasizes the mystical nature of the scene, casting a soft glow on the warrior’s face and highlighting the energy emanating from certain fractal formations.

Theme and Mood: The Empire’s Dark Might

The theme of the artwork centers on power, mystery, and the unknown. The dark warrior is an embodiment of strength and authority, and the Elpidian Empire, with its vast, intricate structures, serves as the backdrop for this sense of grandeur. The mood is one of awe and intimidation, as the warrior seems to stand guard over an empire that is both awe-inspiring and mysterious.

The overall tone of the piece is ominous, yet it also carries a sense of pride and resilience. The fractal elements that frame the warrior give the artwork a sense of endlessness, as if the empire’s power could go on forever. There is an air of quiet menace surrounding the figure of the warrior, who is not in a pose of aggression but rather one of quiet readiness, as though it is prepared to face any challenge that might come.

Artwork Backstory

Dark Warrior Of The Elpidian Empire …And now we come to the Dark Warrior Sculpture. Very little is know of these mysterious and formidable warriors, since so much of the Elpidian Empire has been lost over the past 59 centuries; but legend has it, that they were one of the most feared of all the Sesquiants.

A typical Dark Warrior was said to have stood some ten feet high and weighed in at about 1200 pounds. Being bred exclusively for war through genetic manipulation, they were supposed to have an armored plated skin that could take a direct point blank hit from an Acronicon A138 5000 Mega-joule blast canon (That would like being hit with about a 1.2 ton explosive blast).

Though they appeared to be slow due to their massive size; that was but an illusion. Legend has it that they were capable of running at a top speed of 259 mph with some exceeding 300 mph for a period of about 3 hours.

They were able to handle extreme ocean depths down to two and a half miles for about an hour without any breathing apparatus, capable of swimming at an astounding pace of 115mph for two to three hundred miles; and were also said to be able to function in deep space for extended periods of time without any life sustaining gear.

Let me make this clear before the tour comes to and end; the Dark Warriors were not, I repeat, were not warriors of war and destruction. They were warriors that kept peace throughout the empire and engaged in battle only when aggressor threatened the well being of the empire.

Though many think these tales to be nothing but fiction, since none of this can be verified; the source of our present day knowledge of the Dark Warriors comes from the well known and respected Askarlus Dinitikan from Suandarous 3, born 500 years after the Elpidian Empire came to an abrupt end (as the empire seemingly vanished from the face of the galaxy overnight); and who was known throughout the galaxy not only for his great scientific achievements; but also for his amazing scholarly works and archaeological discoveries.

Many take what remains of his work as truth; since what remains of is literature is archived across the ten system planets; and statues throughout the galaxy numbering in the thousands honor him as the father of the second age…

A Little Of This Fractal Artwork:

The Dark Warrior Sculpture artwork is an offshoot of Daria The Cyborg Queen and Darian Warrior fractal art cybernetic fractal art compositions as well as a combination of two other fractal art compositions The Realm Of Osphilium – processed through a kaleidoscope filter and Arsencia Goddess Of Fire, with additional fractals used to accent the alien portrait.
