STGOD 2020 Images Thread (56K Warning)

Hullo all, so this thread is where you can drop any pictures you want to illustrate the flavor of your faction. I decided to do a separate thread instead of posting in one of the other threads in order to avoid cluttering those up. Please feel free to submit any images of your own.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++==
I'm finally posting some pictures which I think reflect the Theophanic Empire.
Aside from a number of sketches, none of these are directly representative. Most all of them are intended by me to suggest a vibe or impression, rather than an actual illustration, of what the Empire and its people and ships are like.
See captions!
Megakolymvitis, flagship of the soi Chelonis fleet.
A Thorikto dreadnought, the big boy in the middle, naturally. Immediately alongside it (the small flat vaguely Star Destroyer-like ship) is a Neokastro cruiser; the large globe-and-arms ship in the foreground is a Magnatrabes battleship.
A rough cross-section of a Thorikto dreadnought, with a Magnatrabes below, drawn to scale. Helpful notations. For reference, the area the diplomatic reception is in would be in the fore-void of the ship.
Neither of these are direct representations; rather, they evoke the kind of scale you should imagine for Mitra tou Theouautokrator.
Theophanic diplomatic barque (but the same design is used for kleptoi-craft retrieval after engagements and general transport/space-to-ground duties)
A Theophanic command-throne; perhaps the bridge of a Thorikto or a Magnatrabes.
This would be more or less along the lines of Kharon soi Chelonis on her bridge or perhaps an office.
Kharon soi Chelonis' warsuit, lion-masque mounted
Basically the direct inspirations for Stefon soi Drakon.
In a white and gold uniform, this would be Ilias apo Aftokratoria.
Winston Duke as M'Baku is pretty much straight up how I imagine Justinian soi Foinix, just with a bigger (*much* bigger) beard and a couple extra decades/grey hair. Otherwise, more or less the same cranky energy.
Theophanic nobility. While these images are not exact representations, they share the same similar feeling of heavy ornamentation, thick robes and barbarian vitality.
The skinny, un-named technognostiki
Another technognostiki
Theophanic troops, perhaps soi Drakon, deploying in class-three and class-four warsuits
Theophanic troops, clad mainly in class-two warsuits, advancing supported by a heavy class-five warsuit.
Theophanic trooper, class-two warsuit
Theophanic trooper in basic class-three warsuit
A form of class-four warsuit
The general scale of a class-five warsuit
A couple variations on class-five suits
The scale of building the Theophanic Empire indulges in
The general architecture of the cityscape upon Megakolymvitis
A portion of the interior of Mitra tou Theouautokrator
Theophanic kypseli-tower hive-city
What the interior of a kypseli-tower may look like.
Port-facilities of a kypseli-tower
An example of Theophanic genia quarters
Theophanic manufacturing facility
In-Asdrubal, angeliforos of the Theouautokratora, currently residing upon the fane on Megakolymvitis.
The unnamed angeliforos aboard the Thorikto Kriegsgott, when it destroyed the Amazo-X headquarters world
