Description
Here is a quick preview of another idea I've been trying to hash out. This started out as a terminator fanart but lately I've been trying to be more original so I started doing my own thing with it. It's part of a story I still haven't gotten put together yet, but its starting to make sense.Related content

That's one scary looking soldier of the future. You could just imagine him in the Terminator, or that kind of setting. Excellent concept. And yep, would love to read the story behind the inspiration.

Thanks! Ooot! I still haven't written anything down but it's starting to sound interesting in my head atleast. I'm going a totally different direction then terminator though, its still a futuristic war, and the machines will be winning, but it won't be just to destroy mankind or save the planet. I'm so tempted to give away my big plot twist it's hard to not resist spilling it all in a comment, but you need something to look forward to.
I just got a glaring plot hole that's keeping me from putting pen to paper on this.

Awesome! I love the mask, looks really sinister.
And Storrryy?

I did most the detail on the mask, the rest will hopefully look just as cool when I'm done.
Ooot! Well its not written yet, still in jumbled idea format, but basically its another human vs robot future but with comparisons to today's racism and extremism. I wanted the main character to be a Muslim survivalist with an almost suicidal hatred for the techs who abandons his own people when they start using machine parts to repair injured soldiers.
If you wanna hear more I'll spill, to be honest there isn't much more to it though.

YOU HAD ME AT MUSLIM SURVIVALIST. Oh man, that's awesome. I just have to say that. There needs to be more Muslim characters.
I'll totally listen to the spill.

Hehe, I loved that idea about it too. Thanks! I guess I'll definitely have to finish it then.
Well I'm really short on time, so I'll just add that he finds a child in the middle of his search for death, and he desperately try's to get her back to his people, until about halfway home he discovers she's a robot. DUN DUN DUN! after that its a blank. And his arm might be robotic, not sure yet.

Sounds awesome... ! I can't wait until it's done. And hmm... robotic arm? Could go either way, but I'm not sure how traditional you want to go with his beliefs, though.

Thanks! I know, and it also has the obvious I-Robot connections, but logically you need something to fight a cyborg who's 10x stronger then you without resources or support. Also I wanted it to be partly why he leaves his soldiers behind, in a fit of rage he used his new arm to punch the medic and accidentally explodes his head. He just blinks for a few moments, say's a prayer and begins walking out of the compound, with half the people following wanting to go because he trained most of them, but he sprints off into the scraplands(which is going to take place somewhere near what is left of Jerusalem I think).
You got me all brainstorming again! I got this hole other idea forming about who the techs really are and what they are trying to do. It will help explain why he doesn't just kill her, and why she continues to act like an innocent child, not a cold hearted metal killer. Bah! If I give away too much I'll ruins it, but its just starting to sound good so I'm torn!

Sometimes ideas are like blackholes, when you start to tell them you just can't stop! xD
Sounds awesome! I can't wait to see the rest.

Amazing! I love how you shaded the armor, and the cracked ape skull is a nice effect

Thanks! He's going to be the antagonist for my story, just have to find a logical reason for him to look ape

Story? If this picture has a backstory I'd love to read it

Sorry for taking so long to reply, all of a sudden I got popular
A brief synopsis of it though is its a similar story to terminator, in that its a future war between humans and machines. But I want to take a totally different standpoint on the motivations of the machines, and who they really are, and how a small child's innocence effects the extremism of the main character and his dedication to killing every tech he meets.
So that's it in a nutshell, any thoughts?
