The Shrike(Hyperion book series)

After getting several requests from Hyperion's fans, here it is! My 2021 version of the Shrike, following my goal to illustrate those great novels by depicting characters/main events/locations from the book series.

As per Hyperion's wiki description:

"The Shrike is the central antagonist of the series of Science Fiction novels The Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons.

It is a mysterious mechanical being of great power, size and cruelty which allegedly serves as the guardian of the planet Hyperion.

It gets its name from the "shrike birds" due to the habit of impaling its foes and victims in a large construct called the "Tree of Pain" where they are kept alive to suffer for eternity.

The Shrike can teleport through time and space by merging with the Void Which Binds. Its time travelling ability also gives it immense speed to the point of being hard to see. It also possess great strength and fighting skills. 

With its four arms, filled with many blades and spikes, the Shrike can tear apart a large number of enemies. Its armor makes the Shrike also resistant to most weapons.

The precise origins of the Shrike are unclear. It is known that it will be created at a point in the galaxy's distant future, although by whom, and for what purpose, remains ambiguous..."
