Description Entry for my AICASD's Concept Art contest this quarter, to be judged by Rockstar San Diego's concept artist, Hethe Srodawa.

The contest is to conceptualize a possible survivor npc for the upcoming game, Gears of War 2. My entry is of a female soldier from the northern remnants of the previous war. Rescued at a young age, the last words she heard from her parents as they lay dying was "cisza," which is polish for "quiet." When she was discovered, it was the only word she kept repeating, which is how she came to be known. Only fitting considering she becomes one of the elite snipers of her unit.

I know the game is not set on earth, but I thought Cisza was more interesting than, say, Sarah or Rachel. The sniper rifle is taken from references I found for the next GoW, used to make sure my proportions were correct since the assets would be used from that game.

Awesome man. I like how you made her kind of big like the cog soldiers, but still very recognizably feminine.

Ah I'm glad you recognized my foremost effort.

All GoW characters are gigantic linebackers, and not having the game (but having played the original when it first came out a while back at a friend's) I struggled with what the idea of what the aggressive females may look like in this game's universe.

NO helmet huh. If she is from the same army, she wears the same gear as Marcus. what is this contest for anyway

She is not from the same army, she's a residual soldier from a resistance faction against the army that Marcus belongs to, left over from the previous war, therefore she doesn't wear the same armor.

As a sniper, she wears light armor, but in attempt to keep with the style of the game and to fit her into the GoW universe, I did conceptualize her leg armor as a sort of kinetic memory metal, which flexes and returns to shape in order to assist movement and carrying of heavy ordinance/supplies while out in the field alone (my post was just getting too long to include all the info lol).

She is wearing a helmet, it is under camo on the left pic.
