A small excerpt from my Blog:

I have been giving my Substance Designer Contest Challenge some thought. So with what I have accomplished thus far and the way that the storyline has taken hold of the character, I think I could use even a little more articulation to bind the Titan with the story. This Titan is huge. And what I am doing is personifying the concept of the Titan because this Titan, "The Titan God of Spatial Perdition", does not have any natural human form, per se. Like the Gods of early Mythology and more precisely, those descried by Mythopoeic Thought, my Titan is only an "idol". It is a fleeting glimpse of a representation that conceptualizes its power by drawing from the beings that deem themselves affected by it through relational reasoning. The myths of this Titan are bound to those it protects only because they have become aware enough to acknowledge the powers of this Titans existence and have attributed that power to that Titan. To this end, I will attempt, in part, to form the where or how this Titan came to be.
The concept of "Spatial Perdition" comes from what I saw as Earth's magnetic field. This barrier is not only essential to complex life as we have come to understand it, but that it also protects us from even greater Titans or Gods that would befuddle the more basic concepts that lead to the evolution of evolution. I know, recursive is the thought of evolution being a part of the process that evolves evolution into its own evolutionism, and it is, yes ... , I won't say it, "evolutionary", but I did. So this Magnetosphere, our squishy torus of safety, is what I am calling "The Titan God of Spatial Perdition" because it saves the lives on this Earth but it has also made us fully unaware of the deathly dangers it has been protecting us from through our sorted evolution. And because of this "cradling in the arms of our protector" we, have instead of growing in enlightenment, have been dragged through a world of protected disillusionment. This Titan is therefore a protector of life because it has taken residence inside a place that is another perfect balance of powers, the proverbial "Goldilocks Zone", another Titan God. But my Titan, "The Titan God of Spatial Perdition" has also, by its very nature, deceived all those that it has come to protect. But then again, maybe that's too much to ask of a Titan that can only express itself through protection, for its leaving would produce utter annihilation.
So that is a continuance of the larger picture and is a greater storyline of "The Titan God of Spatial Perdition", my Titan. Although this Titan, actually the powers of this Titan, which have been at work from time beyond the time of our sorted evolution, has in some way become an integral part of every life on this Earth. But this Titan has been locked out, as all Titans are, and will never participate with us through communication directly as we have found ourselves able to interact with each other. But as a Titan, it will continue to communicate its mercy and fury, the whims of the gods, which will always remind us of its powers as we recall them through their Mythos. Now, back to the picture, the drafting room, the cutting room floor.
