Description
Contest entry for microphone's contest.I seen he wanted a unnamed turian character, he has none yet, so I thought why not? I wanted to try something different than furren characters. It was so much fun and so much pain! I felt like a real n00b, like I was stepping on ice, not knowing if I'll fall or pass through. Really, I never did armor before... it was a pain in the ass to figure out how to make it, but one I started, it turned into so much fun(just the gun, ARGH). I'm actually very pleased with this art.
I apologize for making any mistakes at turian species. I'm not very familiar with them, I used many references (uncle Google). First I thought more about red features since the Bioware's character Garrus has blue features... But microphone loves sapphire, so his character's eyes are sapphire and since the red wouldn't fit, I thought I'd make such similiar blueish colors.
About the concept, first I thought to make him sitting on the roof of a building, maybe with some cityscape in the horizon... But I think he sitting on the rock with just sunset in the horizon fits more. I dunno, I kinda wanted to capture the loneliness of snipers. They are kind of lonely, always ahead or behind the squad, watching out for them...
Oh, and I forgot. I also wanted to make him scarred. Like many scratches on his armor, holes after bullets, damaged parts after battles. Microphone wanted a badass character, I thought it would fit.

Wow, this is pretty! Amazing work with the armour, if it was your first time painting one. All the details, shading and colours are wonderfully done too! And he looks very turian, also. Awesome piece of art!

Love it, but sniper's almost always work in pairs I.e. ( spotter & shooter) but again I love the piece <3

Awesome work with this piece of art Is it possible that I could use this image of a character I am making? Ofcourse you will get the credits for it!

Well, I never painted them before, so I'm quite unfamiliar with them.
But thank you very much, I'm glad you like it.

Snipers don't have a squad. If they get unlucky they have a spotter but that's it,what a great life. Temporarily...
I do love it though,never heard of a Turian before but snipers have it awesome.

Thank you very much and I'm glad you like this so much.
And of course there are mistakes, there have to be. I'm not perfect so everything I do will be imperfect.

Best Turian artwork I've seen in a while. Wouldn't know you were unfamiliar with the species. Well done.

Fantastic work! I wouldn't have believed that this is your first work with a turian or their armor.

Wow, seeing this I can't belive it's your first time drawing armor. Really amazing details especially on the head with all the scales. Great job!
