Description
This is the ninth entry in my Abstractium series of artwork
When the process of Oxiphication is completed the Anointer will anoint the skull of the chosen, a device inside the face of the female head will pierce the skull thus creating the pathway that will open up the mind, transcending the need for the body as they have taken the final step to becoming an Oxphian...
This entity is found in one of the floating cities which surround a large towering structure known as “The Oxphix”. This structure is home to the Oxphians who are one of Abstractium's more civilized and intelligent civilizations,being very similar to humans during their developing stages. These entities are distinct and characterized by having a floating head in which the lower half has been completely removed and replaced with a “new vessel” ranging from something seemingly human to monstrous. Their beliefs relate to an idea that the mind should be separate from the body to bring about its fullest potential as they see the body and its functions as a distraction to the mind. They have ascended there bodily form by removing all but the upper half of the skull through the process of “Oxiphication” which is the ritual of separating mind and body. The Oxphians are not hostile towards humans at first and are inviting to them as they protect humans and also lure them into their civilization. They do this as they see humans have qualities similar to their own and the Oxphians seek to experiment on humans and learn about them, even trying to reborn them as an Oxphian through the process of “Oxiphication”. This process is a horrific and extremely painful process for humans to go through that all the Oxphians must go through upon maturity in which the mind is literally separated from the body using unorthodox methods, not all survive this excruciating process but those who do will experience a mental transcendencey, a feeling and awakening unlike anything ever to be experienced. In the end they become an Oxphian, this process though the ultimate mental awakening does detracts from their emotions,sense of feeling, and their senses resembling that of humanity. Not all humans are experimented on but it is best to stay clear of them as you never know when it will be your turn, oddly enough this may also even be a safehaven from some of the other unpredictable and unknown entities found in the world of Abstractium.
Anointers appear in many different forms with odd looking uniquely built vessels, but they all serve the same purpose as being a key part in the process of Oxiphication...

Aunque me gusta Hellraiser y HR Giger, sorprendentemente este se inspiró en ninguno pero veo lo que quieres decir.

Maybe sometime in the future when I finally come to terms with coloring digitally lol but I also love doing things in greyscale.

It takes quite a b8t of inspiration to do so, though when finished they usually flourish in the connections between objects in the scene.
