Description
Here it is, after several hours of sketching and shading, the final and absolute design of the Cult of Anubis exoskeleton, model 2635Underneath is a very detailed description of this exoskeleton. You don't have to read it, but if you are interested, go ahead.
THE EXOSKELETON:
Since the beginning of the egyptian age, roughly 4000-5000 years ago, the Cult of Anubis have had their electronic Exoskeletons. They have used them in the war against the Children of Ra and pretty much made huge damage on them. Yet the exoskeleton
design is older. As old as 18.000 years. The first Exoskeletons was designed to guard the borders in and around Atlantis. They are described as 4 meter tall warriors, with massive axes and the face of a jackal, meeting one of them when you were unwanted could prove to be the last thing you did (so the description of them are made from people who spotted them from far far... far far far away). 18.000 years ago the exoskeleton was hydraulic, with compressed air and liquid oil to control them. Now 18.000 years later the system is a bit changed to strong electric engines, still it has some compressed gasses in use some places.
The exoskeletons main feature that makes it so different from all other pressure suits and armors are not only its technology, but its added limb. It gives them great speed and more acrobatic abilities, and most of all, the element of fear. Facing a warrior taller than you does something about your mind. The Idea of an extra limb the Cult took from nature, such as the many other things in their technology they learned from nature (to later make nature learn from them). And later on the design was made to fit the description of the Egyptian god Anubis (Anubis is portrayed as a black dog or as a man with a jackal's head who holds a scepter), which the egyptians was so nice to give to the people of Atlantis because of the appearance of these exoskeletons (this is a completely different story).
THE MAIN GUN... err... cannon:
Or I could say cannon. It has a slight resemblance of an ion engine, and pretty close too. It is based on a process involving the heating of an atom so high it is on the border of creating fusion (what keeps the sun alive). Naturally the cult has found a way to create
a tachyon (for now a particle we only estimate exist) using this method. Not gonna get all into WHEN they managed to do this, you probably don't wanna know (or believe (yes... know that's silly since this is sci fi... but still)). Thus producing a tachyonic blast.
This blast has 2 outcomes, none of which can happen at the same time but still goes for the same, within a nanosecond of time it either explodes (the painful way), or deatomize (the not-so-painful way) bits of the target. However this is not the effect the cult favors when using this gun... err.. .cannon. The explosion or dissolving of the tachyon leaves a bluish cloud of electrically charged super particles which creates a rift in time/space thus making an antimatter particle (Tachyons are said to be particles moving faster than light, thus giving myths about time travel) Naturally this antimatter particle creates something I would like to call a "controlled" hyperexplotion. The explosion is not big (for obvious reasons, don't want to harm yourself) but the area of the explosion can be seen... As a large hole in the ground... Any area outside of this blast is miraculously unaffected, and what better is, the amount of energy to be used in the process can determine how big the explosion will be (all depends of the number of charged super particles in the cloud). This whole process takes about 1 second so it gives some time to get away, I mean that is if you move faster than the speed of light.
Other numbers of the main cannon:
The cannons weight is naturally not important since you have an exoskeleton to back it up, but if you really need to know it is 61.450 grams. it includes over 3.000.000 kilometers of nanite fiber optic cables and components. It is cooled down by 4 individual cold fusion engines (creating heat nearing an atom to "fisionize" is nearly 15.000.000 degrees Celsius or so...). The range of the gun is basically limited within the distance light travels on one second (experiment, try measuring that by standing with a stop watch 1 meter away from a lamp, start it when the you turn on the lamp and stop it when the light appears to your eyes). The explosion created will produce a controlled heat center on about 10.000.000 degrees Celsius, which would be enough to make the earth atmosphere within burn (notice the word controlled).
THE "SHIELD":
Its "shield" as the Cult of Anubis so ironically calls it is an unfolding weapon of destruction. It might serve as a shield when it is folded, and when it is unfolded it becomes even more protecting. At once it gets unfolded, revealing the technological wonders underneath, it becomes a super protective shield, thus the nickname " shield". It has 5 very strong reactors for producing a very strong energy based shield, meaning all weapons based on energy, such as laser and plasma and even tachyonic charges, gets absorbed. Surely this feature provides little protection against weapons based on solid matter. Such as metallic bullet guns, and even swords.
Yet when unfolded it reveals also more weapons. The exoskeletons are literally armed all over. On the front (or the bottom if you prefer to look at it pointing downwards are 2 small pulse laser cannons, their barrel runs past the energy shields range so they are
perfectly capable of shooting. With a spread on a 10 degree radius and a random bullet direction, combined with a 600 rpm pulsating laser beams it can and possibly will create destruction.
But there is more. Among with the 2 pulse lasers it got 1 heavy rocket launcher. That's right, you cant leave home without one (cause its attached to the "shield" anyway). It has 10 rounds of rockets. Rockets however are strong. Combined with a small uranium
core explosion (a little nuke) and with the devastating effect it has on the hydrogen elements also inside the rocket, you got yourself a hydrogen bomb, or... rocket. But hey, don't worry, if you are unlucky enough to trigger the rocket too early, standing in the
middle of the blast zone, the exoskeleton will hold.
Other numbers of the shield:
It weights approximately 61.450 grams, with the additional weight of 1.200 grams each rocket. It is constructed with the finest electronically art of the Cult of Anubis with over 400.000.000 kilometers of nanite fiber optic cables and components. Has an individual processor power of barely 200 terrahertz to compile the nanite information. Its energy source comes from within the exoskeleton itself. Rocket range is 5300 meters while optimal laser range is 300 meters (on a total of 1200 meters)
And... thats about it...

that kicks so much ass it's not funny. the detail and shading is amazing. And it vaguely resembles the protoss, which happens to push it to be one of the most amazing acheivements i've ever seen! great stuff, I can't wait to see the 'Ra' exoskeleton!

I was looking at this again, and I have to say that your shading is really great. I really like your technique and how you stayed with one light source throughout the whole picture.

Great image!
to say it's well research is a bit of an understatement!
It's got the look of one of those 16th/17th centuary engravings
Excellent work!

Thats some crazy shading the pencil. It just shows you have placed a lot of time and effort into this piece. One thing I think would make this piece better would be if you darkened it a little bit so the piece shows up sharper. You can adjust the curves to this. Definatley you should try to colour this piece. Excellent job

This is so great! I knew I wouldn't be let down when I saw the finished version!
The shading is wonderful, as well as all the intricate details!
I like the reflection off of the right leg as well, very cool! I'm also partial to the smoke coming from his cannon!
I do think that the planet neds to be shaded darker. It looks a little rough compared to the rest of the pic. Just my
Oh, I also like your description, it's fun to read and get a feel for what your trying to accomplish in the pic, get inside that great mind of yours!

damn that fold line, but it doesnt spoil the image much, phenomenal shading here, not sure how long you spent on it but it musta been a hell of a while. It deserves a fav, obviously a lot of work in this, and yes - it shows. Superb

awesome history to back up this design. Just one thing...it's not fission which takes place in the sun, it's fussion. Fission is the process of splitting an atom (like in a nuke), fussion is joining them. other than getting your nuclear reactions mixed up, good job. As for the picture...nothing can truly be said except ...and you can quote that if you like. Damn fine job based on a damn fine premis (spellcheck somebody?)
