Description
"Say hello to my little friends", said Ultra Astro Master Uber General Hyper Badass (etc, etc) Sergeant Bobby "Boulder" Ballman, and in commanding manner urged you to DOWNLOAD THE IMAGE.(Really! It is EXTREMELY detailed. The Damn DeviantArt refuses to display it 100 % size if your monitor's resolution is too small! I find this lovely feature extremely delightful.)
Anyway... This was my own futile charge against the Fantasy Sci-Fi Fusion Contest.
100 % mouse, no layers, no actual reference. That's my way.
(Edit: fixed few things.)

Damn that's a nice combination of sci-fi and fantasy!Β
And you definitely have to download the picture to truly appreciate the detail!Β

65 and he lost count. I'm surprised he made it that far.... when did he find the time to scratch it in? Or are those battles?
Also, his Godly Plate Armor is a +5 magical set and summons 1d6 faeries on daily uses with random abilities,spells, and usefulness. Also, it comes with the Helmet of B.A. which allows the user to zoom vision and breathe in a vacuum or underwater. It also comes with a "Belt of Giants Strength" with aditional flaires that go up the spine and spread out along the ribs, acting as a lesser exoskeleton.
His gun, meanwhile, is a standard rifle with no bonuses. It is not even masterwork.

Or "planes busted", if he's in a fantasy 'verse.

This is seriously the most bad-ass well done piece ever! Props on using a mouse too.

Nice work~

Thank you.
I face my moused labors with inspiration only. Perspiration is for engineers.

Wow, this is hardcore, the sergeant looks tougher than steel and yet the elves are so amazingly colorful and contrasting.

That text in the staff of the fairy sorceress is Tolkien's Cirth and reads: "GRB IS GOD"
Also, there are few hidden messages that are not plainly written. I'm unsure if the judges of the contest noticed them.

"F'n awesome!", says the Sarge. (That joke's getting stale. 
Usually I'm totally dissatisfied with my art, but in this case the feeling is even worse! Maybe it is because I created this for a contest... Anyway, I now have about a million ideas how to improve the picture. But oh woe, the contest is closed!

I can win a contest only if I participate it by accident. Very weird.

The first scenario that people imagine when they hear "fantasy vs sci-fi" is to set a battlefield between scifi-marines and elves. Why can't these f'n creatures just get f'n along!?

Indeed, why couldn't they? The example I like most is the whole Shadowrun P&P RPG

Ouch. It's seriously impossible NOT to scratch a cliche when fantasy and scifi are combined... It's been done for so many decades.

Welll, true, but they can be fun. Stuff doesn't become used often and thus a clichΓ© for no reason

Doing this with a mouse on one layer marks you as f'n crazy. Or straight-up masochistic.

I considered an addendum: "No f'n PhD". Shame I left it out...

Cute mix
so do the pixies repair his armor and polish in the night between battles?

I have no idea. I only know that one of The Sarge's dearest hobbies is to polish his pixies.

hahaha just saw this on the forums, hilariousness

Science fiction and fantasy have been merged and mixed and shaked and stirred so many times in the past that the only sensible approach has to be humorous. But alas, satire does not win a serious contest.

Alas indeed. They do go well together, dont they? Now go get a tablet bro, no silly excuses about being to old to learn new tricks! xD

Acquiring a tablet would not magically make me a better artist. There is nothing wrong with a mouse.
π: 0 β©: 1
nobody said it would make you a better artist. Some tools are better than others though. I *could* draw in paint, but i prefer photoshop because it offers me much more features and control. I *could* draw with a mouse, (and I used to), but I prefer a tablet because it offers me more features and control. Seriously, once you draw with a wacom you wont want to go back
Still, its your art, and you use whatever suits you

My ways are too weird for a tablet. Maybe the mousery gives my work some real personality and assures that I will never be a mainstreamer.

Stunning work o.O I love the details and the fact that you painted with a mouse is amazing! Good luck, I'm entering, too ;D

Thank you.
Lady Fortune has often failed me, but never in one particular regard: she has always stayed far away from me! Just as the picture states: "OUT OF LUCK", that I am. Yet stubbornly I keep charging against impossible odds.

Oh, yes it is.
...To my patience...
...And to my art-making, mouse-squeezing hand.

You're such a geek to draw it with only mouse!
I couldn't have done such a hard work.
π: 0 β©: 1
So I'm not only a god (whose way is ruthless) but a geek as well? Hah!
But yes. It's hard to paint with a mouse. Heavenly patience is needed.
