Description
A 'fan commission' for ~Horn-AdamaTwo rangers. An Elemental powered armor with sword drawn, and a specops soldier with battle rifle leveled. They have each others backs , ready for the swarm that is about to fall on them.
Thanks to everyone that watched in the streams, keeping me company and providing valuable critiques. And another thanks to Horn for the commission, without it this nice piece of work wouldn't have happened.
Fluff - The Shield Sword is a basic shield based weapon that was devised during the early testing of the mysterious new technology. It allowed the test deployment of shields in a simple device that could be used without implants.
No longer commonly used due to the restriction of shield material and advancement of dynamic internal battle armor shields. It is now only seen ceremonially or among a select few who have stuck to it's use, it still retains it's diversity as an easily deployed utility weapon. It can form a heat blade, defensive bubble or wall, and counter frequency fields and paths to better penetrate projectiles, or any other specialized form that is programmed in.

Your understanding of perspective, anatomy, color, and light are so spot on. where did you learn and how did you practice?

I went to art school for a short time, but most of my skill is from self study.
Whatever you draw, have references near by to help you out. Good effort and time will see you improve

this is pretty bad ass man...from the look of the design i take it that you are a fan of metal gear and appleseed, yes?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Seen the Appleseed movies but never played Metal Gear, both have great concepts though.
And if you're curious, I decided on helm fins before I knew of Appleseed
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh yeah that happens to me too...sucks knowing someone else thought of the design before you huh?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I took that idea from SoulCaliber. But really the idea of fins is nothing anyone can claim as an original, really they are better attributed to referencing animal ears and antennae.

never seize to amaze shimmer...you could make a game out of all these characters...I like the whole shield idea pretty cool...

Games, books, animation. Some day it will come

yeah dude you could like join a concept art firm or a game company like EA or ubisoft or...something...also looked at some of your other work I like the elementals its like thier the next step in human evolution...pretty cool...but what are the freaky horns on the back of thier helmet for? looks? or some other purpose?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Partly looks, and they are sensors.
I wouldn't take this to a game company though, don't want them stealing my work
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
point taken...so what are you working on now?..in terms of these characters or story...or whatever
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
When I have time I refine the designs and I'm always thinking about the story side, but won't start proper work on it until I feel I can make a living selling it.

Sounds awsome...anyway good luck with that...

Congratulations

I love the versatility of the armor. It's light (ish) flexible, and over all well defended, not to mention the shield. It's clear that you put a lot of logical reasoning behind your designs and I like that. An artistic engineir of sorts. bravo and encore!

Something in your pic screamed EPIC to me.
Had a vision that came to me befor I read your comment
That they against al odds are the last ones standing. On a great battle field suronded by their fallen comrades.
Thats the reason why your pic is screaming with high pitched METAL tone "EEPIIIIIIIIIC"
Every time I look at it
