Description
A New German Republic soldier in T31 Power Armor from Rifts, possibly inside of the Black Forest; originally designed by Kevin Long for the Rifts sourcebook Triax and the NGR. I used the reference pose so kindly provided by Ana here: [link]I'm thinking I may size this down and use it for another group-style image, like I did in this Flash Rifts:

I'll probably continue to pick and nibble away at it for a while, but as in all things I'm giving myself permission to move on to some other art projects, specifically more animations for the game I'm making:

Thank you - your gallery has some very impressive ship designs in it.

Excellent artwork! This would easily be worthy of a RIFTS book cover!
Do you ever do work on commission and if so, what are your' rates? You find my E-mail addy at SirTenzan.tripod.com/contact.h…

Hi there, thanks for your kind words. I do commissions from time to time, rates are based on whether the commission is personal (cheaper) or for commercial projects (definitely not cheaper). I'll email you if you'd like with commission rates, or we can communicate by sending Notes on dA, either way works fine.

I haven't used the messaging system on deviantart before so I wasn't aware of this nifty feature, sorry about that. XD
In all earnest I think you should try to submit some of your' works to Palladium Books, even the Rifter, and you can get your' stuff in print and get paid for it.
I'm an aspiring writer myself but I haven't much artistic talent when it comes to rendering visuals so I was thinking that I'd like to see some of my personal stuff done by a skilled graphic artist.
I've got tons of ideas for what I'd like to see, my wife sitting here with me is drooling at the thought as well, as we both play RIFTS and both share a deficiency in artistic talent. lol
I think the first project would be to see one of our major player characters, now turned NPC, in full battle garb, and ready for battle. I'm sure my wife would love to see her previous main character in a similar fashion - heck - better yet - the two of them together, side by side, ready for battle. I'll share details on their garb/equipment after we discuss rates though.
Come to think of it, another character group image would be great too. We ran a campaign for better than six years called "The Skies Over Tolkeen", in which our characters played the role of fighter pilots in battling against the CS invaders. I just got this mental image of some of our characters walking down the flightline, some smoking, others carrying their helmets, etc.
I also love to create source material for RIFTS, vehicles, weapons, unique cultural details such as architecture, fashion, etc. - so I would love to see some of that done in such a skilled fashion. Even were I to try to submit material to Palladium that I created I wouldn't dream of trying to use your' materials as illustrations - that would be between you and Palladium therefore this would be entirely personal and between you and I.
Anyway, please let me know what your' rates are like for computer rendered graphic art and we'll go from there! Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Edward A. May aka SirTenzan

I love the Triax stuff and this is a beautiful representation of the armor. Great work!

Thanks very much; that Triax material (along with Rifts Atlantis) is what really got me hooked.

It's been awhile since I've seen some RIFTS artwork... longer still since anything from the NGR. The T31 was always one of my favorite suits of light power armor from that game.

Mine too, Kevin Long had a nice visual stylization for the NGR.

Oh yeah. I really love his designs.

This is a very nice pic of an NGR scout. Always cool to see more Rifts related art online.
