Description "The one issue about fighting on a desert world is none of our shit works. within the first day, our filters were clogged with sand. There was even so much goddamned particles of sand in the air, and smog, that our lenses would literally go haywire. So it was back to the basics. Air was still breathable, but riddled with dust. A lot of our vehicles got clumps of sand built up over a single night, and it created mayhem on our armor. The Ygunovians were already adjusted to this world. We weren't. And that's what made it hell for us."

- Unidentified Confederate Soldier, following the Invasion of the Gastrun Commonwealth, for the battle of the Ygun System, on the planet Akkrit 2771

It was the last war the confederacy fought in leading up to the current date.
The battle for Akkrit was one of the toughest. With Dust storm nearly every day, and winds reaching nearly 50mph, the attacking confederate force had to brave some of the harshest weather, only to; after securing the planet's surface: battle it's way down into hundreds of sub levels in an underground military installation, to effectively cripple that system of it's ground force.

The central soldier is one that has appeared before. Private Alexis Kiv [goeliath.deviantart.com/art/Co… (i'm gonna have to give her a promotion or something, because 2 years into the military and still stuck as a PV2 is the sign of a shitbag >.> maybe PFC...)] In the 141 Mechanized Infantry, who were known for bravely charging a vital enemy position, after being pinned and having shells dropped on them for hours, and successfully capturing it from the enemy; allowing for the advancement of the remainder of the unit and whatever armor still remained.

In the background Armor support is being given. The entire battle for the planet overall however, was not won by the armor, but by the infantry, as nearly 75% of all vehicles were crippled due to the weather, and sand, dust, metal fragments, and other objects finding a way to lodge themselves into the inner workings of the vehicle.

Private Kiv and the Confederacy of Sovereign Colonial Nations are creations by me in my setting

Figured you guys were sick of standard concepts and were as hungry for some action as I was.
Was listening to "Thief" By imagine Dragons. goes pretty damned well with the image

Holy crap, that thing is so awesome I had to slap it with a fav out of queue dictated by overflowing message box. Love the dynamic feel of it and that bullet hitting the wall is masterpiece, same for rest of effects.

That being said, there are issues with base. First thing, as for uniforms, they're not very uniform-ey. Size of different pieces of their equipment varies on each soldier, each visible kneepad (or howdya call'em) is made by different factory. There's also some anatomy issues, like left arm of the closest guy, which is positioned a bit unnatural, his upper arm is too short and hand too small. Kiv's lower leg part is too long and, judging by the other soldiers, it may be issue with boot design - I mean it's too high to leave as much pants visible as they do. Kneepad on her other leg should also be facing downwards. If it's a solid plate, it should be aligned along the lower leg unless it's one of those fancy motorcycle multi-layer one thingies that make you look like Iron Man, but they're not really designed with same thought as ones in which you'd run.

The lightning and general movement do great to mask those things, the whole thing is really intense and powerful so you need some time to calm down to really start looking at them and they don't break the pic in any way.

Thanks armilo!

And yes I'm aware of most of the issues you said. By the time I noticed them i was too far into the piece and was just like "meh". But I hoped that the pros of the image would outweigh the cons and mistakes I made, and that nobody would notice. >_>

Thanks! I really wanted to make something badass and I felt this was it!
I always appreciate some good constructive criticism!

Arnilo In reply to goeliath [2015-06-28 19:46:27 +0000 UTC]

As I've said, they do outweigh the mistakes. It's really just nitpicking at this point.

Also, silly goel, you don't go "meh" about them. You go "I'll do better! Next time". That way you can still be lazy, but feel good about it.
