Death by Fu Dog

Woah, someone pissed off Nigh. Wasn't me. Concept for 's contest. Since male fu dogs are pictured with a ball under their paw (often representing the Buddhist "flower of life"), I thought it'd be kind of neat to make a sphere Nigh's weapon of choice. Not sure what the heck it does other than glow (sorry about the stylized pi symbol...just a bit of geek humor), but given the ties to the flower of life symbol, and accounting for Nigh's generally pleasant demeanor, perhaps it strikes attackers with an overwhelming consciousness that breaks through rationalizations and shows powerful truths, leaving them shaking in the realization of the ill they cause. Or it drains their sentience/soul. ...Oooor it disintegrates people. Whichever.

Went for an animated feel in this, and pretty much directly ripped the colors off of this lovely little piece:

Only the colors on this version have been played with slightly, but here you can see a different version, that has the original colors, Nigh glowing a bit more strongly, and lacks the sphere:

You can also see the male statue's own sphere in the scrapped version.
