Description
This is an art style test drawing for my comic titled: LEGENDS OF THE WASTELAND ''in search of the green lands'' that I am currently working on and that is based on a failed homebrew campaign i made years ago, heavily inspired by the grimm setting of Dark Sun and other fantasy and sci fi rpgs, books and movies that helped me to create this chimera XD
This illustration shows Tusk, fighting off a bunch of marauders to protect Eve, a Huldra, a strange little creature from the past and mythologized ''Green Ages'', who has recently awakened in this dying and hostile world, where she will try to survive with the help of her new green and angry ''sister''.
And before you ask, yep, the orc has a shotgun...
This has its inner lore.You see.. when I was writing said homebrew campaign, I ignored the concept of the massive metal scarcity in favor of being able to implement gadgets, tech and machinery used during ''The Past Ages'' before it all went to hell during the great wars that condemned the world. To give it that feel closer to Fallout, because I love post-apocalyptic worlds where there are remnants of the past that the survivors manage to excavate and reuse a second time to accommodate their miserable lives, here being things like sandskiffs, war golems, military weapons, etc.
(+ I also admit that a part of me also did it to annoy "that guy" we knew, who was always protesting and complaining about the overdiscussed topic of the use of weapons and ammunition or even the concept of moving forward a little beyond the medieval era in MuH FAnTasY...)
But, despite this, I have not yet decided on the final aspect of Tusk's gun, , because I try to find a more magitek feel for the weapons, since I have thought something like the ammunition being elemental gems that act as ''power cells'', but I also want it to still retain a rough look to blend with the tone of the world)
