Description drew this in my spare time

a tau commander in the new xv9 hazard battle suit with a custom rail rifle, since theres no sniper commanders in the tau empire

i dont know a good name for him/her yet (yes it can be a girl) but i need it to be something related to sniping, so far ive got
-commander long shot
-commander lock on
-commander hawk eye

*its been decided that ill be making this commander hawk eye and it will be a female tau commander, keep an eye out for what she actually looks like under the suit

AWESOME JOB!!! Great clean lineart and a good sense of mechanical joint movement. I can't wait to see the pilot as well.

thanks bro, i think ill stick with it, as for the legit tau name ill have to do some research

Did you have a read of the back story to the model? you might find it interesting!

I have not been into drawing for many years, and to be honest my skills in that area are somewhat lacking of late. I am happy to provide some inspiration! I need some desperately

I just uploaded the first chapter in a short story about her [link]

Thanks for the watch :3, I will indeed keep my eye on you.
