Heraldric Paper Cut Bastion Rhu Illustration

The heraldic paper cut series uses flat color, geometric form, and bilateral symmetry to explore themes and symbols as early concept passes. Each piece functions as a process of discovery, with small curves, forms, and compositional insights pointing toward future minimalization.

This piece explores themes of fortress, empyrean order, law, divinity, and zenith. A pointed shield or banner form in deep purple contains three stacked emblematic elements in cyan: a six pointed star configuration of interlocking triangles at the top, a winged bird figure at the center, and an inverted triangle with elk horn extensions below. The border of the inner field carries recursive triangle corner ornaments and jagged lightning bracket accents at the base corners. The whole composition floats on a teal field scattered with gold star accents.

The palette of purple, cyan and teal gives the piece a celestial, ordered quality — cool and architectural rather than warm or organic.

The final illustration is produced entirely in vector, with no additional post processing.
