Description
The Version series.It all started out as an advanced biomechanical virus created to destroy all life on a planet. However the victim planet inhabitants, the so called Vangels were in possession of immense technology, far more advanced than the attackers. They managed to stall the virus, and capture it within an artificial carbon based hull. Inside that hull the virus evolved into what the Vangels called Version. Version had many abilities, coming from a distant star created to destroy the species, Version knew everything about them. And as it evolved, Version got to know more things. The Version philosophy was, that is answered a question in return for something it did not know. Thus gaining more knowledge. This the Vangels feared, because they simply did not know why the Version did this.
The destiny of the Vangels is not well known, but they are all gone now. Millennia have passed, and the Version virus have evolved to reach a state of divinity. It has the answer to almost everything. To reach other worlds, Version had to adapt to the carbon hull, thus becoming one piece, growing into it. With this event came the Version spores. Sent out by Version itself to gain new knowledge, and to search for survived Vangels.
Naturally one of these spores reached another technologically advanced race, known as Terrans, or Humans as they called themselves. Thus Version revealed its location for them, and helped them reach its main location, the home planet of the Vangels. Here, the Terrans helped Version to get stronger with their primitive, yet effective new technology. Version grew, and evolved. Nobody knew what the future of Version was. Nor the future of the races that was effected by it. Good or bad, only Version had the
answer, yet nobody bothered to ask.

Drawn for a contest... Not quite completed, didn't manage to keep the deadline, so this is 1\3 of a standard A4 paper. I doubt I will ever finish it, ad it looks kind of nice this way too...

I just realized what this piece reminds me of; the video game "Metroid" When i first saw it i thought it was Samus up there in front of the giant eye, but promptly forgot that i thought that when i read the story. Very imaginative and entertaining.

WOW!
I love how you've intergrated what appears to be an eye, and all the technology
I enjoyed reading about the story behind "Version" too
That's not finished? it looks more finshed than all of my work has ever been

Whoa, hahaha, I opened this up and first thing I saw was the eye, and it freaked me out, haha. Great concept, and I like all the fine detail in this, it shows how hard you worked at it , so great job, too bad you didn't make it into the contest, I'm sure it would have went far.

I love all the details, especially on the kind of eye. The amount of details on the top almost make the bottom part looks uncompleted, but I don't see what could be added to the bottom, lol. It's an excellent picture.

It's amazing how you work with machines. Your shading is incredible! I give you 10/10 on this one. All the way. I don't know but it reminds me so much of Animatrix. I'd like to see something from the movie Blade Runner, it's one of my favourite movies.

Wow, great work as always. I love how this picture is only done in shades. It has an almost surreal feeling to it I think might have been taken away had it been colored, but maybe not

I dunno if I really like the name "Version" but the story is pretty cool. Good job. Your drawing is awesome as well. It must have been fun to put all that techno stuff in there with no real objective lol... at least I think you did it with no objective... anyway, nice work!

that is amazing, I especially like the details and lighting you have done on the eye to make it feel like the muscles are 3D... It's a shame you won't finish it, because the bottom title kind of lets it down
It deserves a anyway
