Description More art from The Protectorate Wars pdf art book.

This is one of the first Elementals encountered by Udzima Wa Wasi forces. Quite a shock considering the first strikes made by Protectorate forces hit far away in Prostor and Parvam territories.
During a raid by the Protectorate, more a test of strength than anything, elite Udziman infantry forces managed to track down, engage, and even capture this soldier. Though soon after the Protectorate raiders hit back and freed their squad mate.
Having not yet mastered advanced shield forming techniques, this Elemental utilizes an arsenal of firearms, and also equips a retractable ballistic cloak for additional protection.

Mind-numbingly cool.Β  I'm pretty sure your elementals are the coolest thing I've ever seen.Β  No exaggeration.Β  They are like Noble Team meets Iron Man meets a drone from The Culture.Β  I just can't get over how cool they are.Β  I'm going to spend the next decade trying to draw them.

Great picture. Faved... though that's a given for your artwork
I wonder if revolvers and assault carbine use the same ammo here? And is second revolver holstered upside down?
It's also great to see that you haven't forgotten that exosuit should be connected to legs and feet as some other people do. Good to see those side knee connecters. The knees themselves(the plate is very thick and angled near the end in such a manner that it makes it look as if knee is supposed to be there instead of slightly lower) and underarmor in croth/thigh area(once again those thick plates) make it look as if she has robotic legs though
And sorry for being an absolute insensitive a//hole, but on topic of comment down below about "her being feminine without breastplate with actual breasts displayed on it"... well, how should I put it... eh... you know what? Nevermind.

Yep, second revolver upside down to fit snug.

Honestly looks like an infiltrator or a sniper. Otherwise, a rather good scout.

It can be quite effective at the latter two, though if it's shield systems are on it's kinda hard to hide from sensors in an infiltration role

Very cool character. I really like the helmet, with the jaw like face and the bright eye lights, it looks like some kind of badass alien (maybe a zoid or something, haha). Nice stuff.

Not many examples of ear fins and multi camera eyes out there?
I came up with this concept before ever seeing appleseed

Ironswift-Tales In reply to Shimmering-Sword [2018-01-02 01:42:56 +0000 UTC]

Sort've though the ear fins was definitely making it a fun rule 63 variety of the bunny protagonist when you include the boot details, is the center part of the helmet a visor part to see through or a sort of main camera like a mobile suit?

Shimmering-Sword In reply to Ironswift-Tales [2018-01-02 01:54:48 +0000 UTC]

It's a visor yes, for if the camera systems fail.

heheΒ  your not gonna comment on the third weapon???
an the ballistic cloak would make good "tactical light camouflage cloak." .. wrap round you , stay still " poof " invisible (mostly) or when moving it blurs your outline to make harder to hit..
anddd??? any reason the arms are not as armored??
also the PDW is caseless,, cuz no room for the bolt to eject after the magazine well..

but over all,, love this Β  Β  Β
