FB: Yes, an Egyptian sarcophagus was definitely the inspiration for the design. Physical descriptions of the No-God are arguably the sparsest out of any 'thing' in the series, which is kinda cool. Galaxies of room for interpretation, so I went for a fusion of the old (Egyptian style, face) with the futuristic (sleek, smooth, and made of nimil instead of iron). I also wanted to try to explain, visually, how the Carapace would create and sustain a 'whirlwind.' I imagine the entity encased within emanates a frigid cold, while the thrusters at the bottom create the intense heat, thus creating the convection currents necessary for the effect. Probably weak reasoning, but that was the idea, anyway.
