Description While I was inking the Equestrian Guards I was working on, I decided to do a color test with good ol' Iron Hoof.

I'm still a little new at this style, so tell me what you think. ^_^

Is his cutie mark a mean looking shark running haphazardly around on wimpy legs?

It's Colonel "Iron Hand" Stracken. ^_^

People seem to mistake him for Marbo alot.

Hah! Very good! I owe a Catachan Force and was looking around the gallery then I saw this drawing. Wow! This pony looks like Colonel "Iron Hand" Straken but in pony form! Missing his plasma pistol and the land shark skull that bit his leg off but overall a great colored drawing!

This Red Eye fellow must have quite a following.

Fallout (the original) has a character who is a mutant with a red cybernetic eye. He works for the "Master" an enigmatic figure bent on forcing all viable people into a forced "evolution" into mutants themselves.

anyway In Fallout Equestria Red Eye is the name of the charismatic leader of the slaver empire centered in Fillydelphia (this part of the story is modeled after "The Pitt" DLC set in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania).

Their you go. I suggest you read it. But I know not everyone is interested in reading.

Step aside fillies, it's job for some Catachan Badass Pony! And about style now, I really like how you show the play of light and shadow on the metal, it looks depth and authentic.

Colonel "I-bit-a-frakking-land-shark's-throat-off-after-he-bit-my-arm-off" Straken is such a badass that he makes the combined might of Chuck Norris cry out for want of badassery.

Do Solar Marcharius next!

I didn't think it was worth posting up in Ponibooru since it's technically a WIP of a bigger project, but apparently it was worth it after all. ^_^

"What in the seven hells of Tartarus are you waiting for? Personal orders from the Empress herself?

I don’t care if there are fifty thousand L’Huraxi up there! Our orders are to take that hill and I’m going to damn well take that hill even if it means I have to kill every last one of the purple-skinned giants myself. Damn it, follow me, I’ll show you how it’s done."

Gorgeous artwork, I particularly like his landshark cutie mark. Though that begs the question whether he had the mark before or after the miral landshark tore his limb of? That would be a...strange talent for a young colt to discover, I guess.
Anyway, it might be interesting to see how his foul motor-mouth would translate into MLP.

Sanity-X In reply to Riftsoul [2012-04-25 08:43:42 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! ^_^

I have two possible scenarios for his cutie mark:-

1) As a colt, he fought off a land shark and earned his cutie mark, which was a premonition of his future and brutal encounter with the one that'd change his life forever.

2) He had another cutie mark when he was a young colt, but the traumatic encounter with the land shark changed his life so much, his cutie mark was changed forever.
