Description MEGA EDIT: I spent like five hours touching this lil' shit up so sorry for renotifying but I think it's much better now (but not worth a second upload)

EDIT EDIT: ALso remember full view pl0x, it looks worse without it ^^''

Alright, and I finally got around to writing a description! Yay!

ooookay, so, department 19...

First of all, this is based on a book by Will Hill about a secret governmental organisation whose job it is to deal with supernatural incidents in Britain. There's a few other groups, in America, China, Germany, Russia etc. but Dep. 19 is the main one the books focus on.

So the soldiers that hunt down (vampires) are called Blacklight Operators, and their main weapon is something called a T-Bone, which basically shoots out a stake on a string, which blasts straight through the vampires' chest and kills them. They're described as wearing black armour with a bright purple visor, but that's about it really. They have voice-changing helmets that also allow them to see thermal. Vampires are harmed by ultraviolet light, which is why the dude in the pic has a second torch attachment on the left side of his visor.

The phrase "HE RISES" is related to in-book spoilers, so I won't explain it here if you haven't read it. Suffice to say, Department 19 is one of those books that deserves a movie like Dredd, or a game like GTA where you can go out on missions in different locales, but also has a main storyline that can be developed separate to these mini-missions. Multiplayer would allow you to team up with other people from different international departments to hunt down vampires, as well as maybe a "you are the vampire" evolve style matchmaking game mode? I want this to happen so much I can't even-

anyway I added a heap of details in this edited version. There are now proper dust effects, a mirror on the ground, extra light details, a fixed right leg pose, better light balancing, cobwebs, more wall details, better helmet rendering, and overall heaps and heaps more light- so it's not as ridiculously dark as it was before.

hehehe, I knowww right

Chances are it'll end up being made into a movie, I just really hope it doesn't get screwed up :/ I reallyreallyreally like visual representations of the world and its characters, their descriptions paint such a powerful mental image in my head

I hope if they make it into a movie that they don't tone down all the blood and gore.
Have you read the last book?
