Description
The setting of the story takes place at the end of the 21st century, where many countries have unified into supranational powers (like the European Union). North and South America have formed the Federation of the Americas for the purposes of common defence, common currency, and competition against the other powers, such as the EU, the Pacific Union, the Chinese Hegemony and so forth. A squad of the 101st Airborne Division is being sent to the border of the Colombian and Venezuelan nation states to rescue a VIP from a revitalized FARC.Elizabeth Flanden, a Sergeant in the 101st Airborne Division (an Airborne Ranger) set in the year 2096. She has served for approximately eight years, and been deployed across the Americas and to the Pacific. She specializes in behind-the-lines infiltration and covert action, preferring close-quarters combat.
This time I tried to do something different with a more action oriented composition, and it took several sketches to get it right, and drawing the rifle is always a pain in the ass
, still I need to improve more the compositions, hope you like it!Character Commissioned by Dustin Hawk.

This is great, and the gritty-real violence and danger and fear are pretty visceral. Lots more, please.

The goggles look like the kinds you'd use in airsoft and she doesn't seem to be packing much equipment for any operation.

Dude this is actually a nice story. And don't beat yourself up about the rifle, I think you made that SCAR look perfect.

im gonna have to agree with ~precinctomega
a person serving for 8 years as an airborne ranger would definitely wear some kind of protective layer. and after that one mag shes toast, maybe a light low profile chest rig would suffice since she prefers CQC.
still I think you did an amazing job with everything else. the details into the scenery really sets the mood.

The effects were so great, and the SCAR-L rifle that Sgt. Flanden is carrying there is drawn well too.
Very very good!

As a former 101st infantry soldier i applaud this pic well done sir well done. perhaps females will be allowed to join the infantry and rangers by that time only time will tell. Woulda been cool to see an XM-8 instead of the SCAR. good job either way.

Well, this is still undeniably REIQ, if a bit less 'shiny' (I'm afraid I don't know the effect's proper name); in fact I find myself liking this rendition of your style more!
As for the girl; I believe there are ways of making a female in an action scene 'seriously' and still get Sick Smokin' Hot - as you have skillfully demonstrated.

The FN SCAR she's holding is a little stubby - it's longer and would be pretty awkward for her to carry. But still, it's amazing work. I really like how you drew the grenade burst in the background.
