Well I've already gone over all things Sea Peoples in the proper entry for them so I guess let's just jump straight into design notes XD

In my D&D game set in 526 BCE, one of the players' stories involved them having to lay to rest the shades of Homeric heroes reanimated and enthralled by the goddess Hekate. I figured what better grunts to serve the undead heroes of the Trojan War than the Sea Peoples? Obviously, I leaned waaaay harder into the whole sea part of the Sea Peoples than I did for their proper flesh and blood designs. These were an utter pain in my ass to compose, let me tell ya. I didn't just want to slap the same barnacle filter over a bunch of skeletons, I wanted each to have their own unique flavor that somewhat resembles the layering of their regular outfits. Ultimately I ended up referencing a whole lot from the designs of Davy Jones's crew from Pirates of the Caribbean. Are they perfect? No, but I think that almost lends itself to the composition in a way. It's supposed to be a little messy and all over the place. Or… maybe that's just me trying to justify the hours I poured into all those barnacles.
