Dorok priests- Nausicaä

The fourth piece in my series of commissions based on Miyazaki's Wind Rider outfit page, centered around the Dorok priests, who play a significant role in the manga but don't feature in the movie.

As always, I gave very little guidance other than the request to somehow incorporate the Dorok Sacred Tongue, a language spoken exclusively by these priests, and to show the two opposing factions within the priesthood. Pbbeta opted to have the Sacred Tongue work as a sort of frame for the piece and highlighted the two factions, and their respective followers, through clever composition. Outside of a minor change to the central text to more closely capture the eye symbolry within their religion, everything was already nailed by Pbbeta in the first prelim.
