Description My first attempt at a digital art piece; the marines in the picture are wearing my Armour Suit Concept
5 points for the first person to get the title reference!
The guns depicted in the image all have detailed designs which will be posted eventually. For now;

On the left is the Hypercane, a railgun-assisted rocket launcher which uses its inboard fabricator to adapt its warheads for specific tasks

In the centre is the Peltast, a burst-fire railgun which launches semi-guided foam-phase hydrogen rounds in bursts of one to three, with a muzzle velocity of up to two kilometres per second

In the bottom right corner is the Hyperion, a multi-mode free-electron laser which can fire a beam of x-rays or an electron beam guided by the x-ray corridor (electrolaser). It's yield per burst is up to 5MJ.

And thus, a hearty debate between educated gentlemen of respectable upbringing began.

Thanks! This was my first go at digital painting and that was one of the first things that I noticed - how much easier it was to get across a realistic sense of colour and light.

Never read Excession (it is on the reading list though) but I love that as a euphemism.

Well, these are black and white, was just wondering if you can color them.

The colours are rather washed out

Isn't it the name of a ship from the bookΒ Excession?

So why did you use this name for a title?

SamSquared In reply to MistaSilentKiller [2013-07-25 16:31:19 +0000 UTC]

Well...Frank Exchange of Views is a euphemism for combat so it fitted. Plus I just really liked the name
