Description Well, here’s another addition to my (sorta) version of the Irken studies… So, now I finally get to introduce the Irken Space-ops. So anyhow, let’s get into the detailed stuff…

On the surface of a planet, it may seem as if the Special-Ops commandos only do their job on the ground. Although on the contrary, another variant does the same duty, but instead, they do it in the cold, harsh vacuum of space. These are called the Space-ops. Their job is basically to sabotage or scout for weaknesses of enemy ships. Often they come in pairs or solo, just exploiting the weaknesses on enemy ships. Other times they actually breach the hull with an entire squad of at least 5, ready to destroy a ship from within.

Unlike their land based counterparts, the Space-ops are given bulkier armor to help suit their needs in space. They are known as “Glowers” by most due to the distinct glow emitted from their suits. This comes at a disadvantage since they can easily be given away. Fortunately, their suits have cloaking capabilities, making them totally invisible. Though it drains power from their suits and must be used only when needed.

Other equipment includes metal gloves. (Same one as the Irken elites) These gloves act as built in guns for the space ops. They can either be used for offensive purposes by generating a bolt of energy from the tips of the mechanical fingers or they may be used as heavy duty plasma cutters which help them in breaching a ship’s hull. The left glove is mainly used as a small computer used for navigation and information. The gloves also have magnetic fingers to allow them to climb metal surfaces.
N
ext, they also have magnetic boots which act the same way as the gloves do. Only they help for walking on a ship’s surface when on the outside of a ship.

On the chest of the Space ops are their armor and life
support system. The life support system helps supply air into their bodys as well as provide light energy shielding to protect from dangerous space debris that may tear them apart.
A jetpack, which is standard to most Irken space suits, is also improved by giving it further maneuverability. The space ops may be allowed to steer from left and right, up and down, and ect… Other equipment in the PAK is pretty much the same as most other Irkens.

LOLOLOLONG comment. xD Anyhow, I love how I did the line art. PEN TOOL ROCKS! And yeah, that’s the BEST space background I have ever done. xD Btw… He’s on a resist ship… but it would be impossible to draw the entire thing due to it’s scale xDD

So yeah… That’s all… Any questions just ask.

Space- Ops to me..

Irkens to jhonen

PS: LOL COMBINE REFERENCE xD

Oh, combine elites used to piss me off when they shot that damn light ball. I love your work, by the way. Have you considered animating?

Yeah, I hate that too...

Thank you very much. Well, animation does catch my interest a bit, but I'm more of a comic artist.

I'll see... I was always rather impatient when it came to art at times. xD But I am interested in making at least 1 animation. I just don't have anything at the moment though.

I really wish Jhonen was able to make more Zim episodes. technically, it's his baby, so he can do whatever he wants, right? Or is Nickolodeon still at him for ownership? I miss Zim....

I can't even begin to explain how extraordinary this is..I like the background,the way you colored the planet,the fading effect of the shadows around the Space-op..the coloring and lineart is so insanely well done.

Quite dangerous being a SpaceOP, not only you have to worry about being shot, but then you have all those elements of space, like vacuum and cold.. and floating out in to space. XD

This really isn't an attack on you, because I would be drawn to do the same thing too. But really, would the Irkens need big bulky helmets? We already know they have.. bubble technology. I guess the argument is combat protection, that's a very GOOD argument.

You know, I'm almost going to feel like a copy cat if I put up my Irken special op soldier design up now. They wear big green nightvision goggles and EVEN have a nickname from it (the glowing eyes) just like your guys.

InvaderRaf In reply to Half-dude [2009-05-01 08:06:50 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes. It would be funny to see them get picked off by the anti fighter cannons of a ship. xD All helpless and stuff.

Well, it's more for additional protection also to intimidate enemies.

Oh really? Wow, great minds think alike. xD I never knew that... Well, I'd love to see that. ^^

Half-dude In reply to InvaderRaf [2009-05-01 10:10:42 +0000 UTC]

They'd just be little poofs of blood in space. XD

Yeah I could see how not seeing the person's expression could make them more intimidating.. sigh AGAIN like my Glowing eyes...

Ok I'll see if I can get them finished.

InvaderRaf In reply to Half-dude [2009-05-01 11:23:28 +0000 UTC]

And floating body parts. xD

Well, as I said, it serves as extra protection too. Probably when within the ship. Besides, the bubble shielding didn't seem to protect Zim too well when he was being brutalized by a planet jacker some extra protection wouldn't hurt, right? Irkens also do seem to have a thing for overdoing stuff. Such as a SIR unit's armaments or the Mega-doomer when fully armed and sometimes overdoing things to even the stupidest extent, like turning an entire planet to a parking structure.

Half-dude In reply to InvaderRaf [2009-05-02 01:15:34 +0000 UTC]

Depends I guess.. I figured an anti-ship blast would just totally destroy them.

Right, you make a good argument.

Wow, absolutely epic. Makes you feel like he's gonna getcha.

The spidery look to the Space-Op adds to the 'I crawl all over your ship' thing.

Why, though, would the suit need all those glowing lights?

InvaderRaf In reply to warriorcatroseeyes [2009-05-01 02:19:07 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much.

Well, it's basically an indicator that everything is functioning properly. Though they can be deactivated.

warriorcatroseeyes In reply to InvaderRaf [2009-05-01 22:08:48 +0000 UTC]

Oh...I can understand, then, why a Space-Op wouldn't be in a hurry to deactivate them. I'd think it would be crucial to know that your suit it working right if you're in space.

InvaderRaf In reply to warriorcatroseeyes [2009-05-02 00:28:30 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, especially since it's even more dangerous to be in space then inside a ship or on land.

GLOWY SUITS! XD

Fantastic design you have here. It's well thought out and original. C: I love the whole Spec-Ops class you made up.

I'm in awe of the shading you did on the ship, as well as the white lineart on the Space Op's hands. @_@ Must have taken you forever.

Another instant fav!~

Yes. I like glowey stuff. XD

Thank you very much. C:

Well, the white linart was all done thanks to the wonderful pen tool and the fact I can make the layers in PS invisible.

Thank you!

TommyTheRabbit [2009-04-30 06:02:54 +0000 UTC]

simply amazing ! And i also agree, the pen tool is probably the most awesome tool ever created xD

But maaaan! the lightning and the way the shadows are distributed... it looks fantastic!
And you also did a great job with that planet and the space background

Why thank you very much. I am quite happy with how the lighting of the picture came out too. xD
