Description Will probably revisit this later. Haven't done art in a while, but that's mainly because my day job kills any motivation.

It happened shortly after the end of The Great War. There were reports of unidentified warbands continuing to ravage the countryside of Europa, as well as outbreaks of violence in the Orient and Africa. Speculation of their origin was uncertain, though it would later come to be known that these forces originated from Old Vesitania - a city that was destroyed long ago in a mysterious cataclysm, and the surrounding lands condemned as uninhabitable.

It reached a point where these attacks began concentrating and entire nations found themselves under siege. The United States of Columbia, Great Anglican Empire, and the rest of the Allied forces found themselves drawn into war again - with an enemy that had incredible resources at its disposal, as well as untold horrors lurking in its ranks. The enemy would be known as a cult that worshipped ancient malevolent entities, and in turn received their blessing to bring conquest in their name.

They look reasonable enough. Love the comic book style here, almost reminds me of a mix between Warhammer(in design choices) and Mike Mignola.

I don't know, maybe they're just parade floats or animatronics.

Is this like Warhammer...? It reminds me of Gaunt's Ghosts fan art.

There are similarities and many differences. For one, you don't have nearly as many races involved (though there will be more than just humans, I can say that), two there is no equivalent to the Emperor, nor necessarily a massive event equivalent to the Horus Heresy. But in atmosphere, they should most definitely be similar.

Then again, I started on this project years ago and facts/etc have been in a state of constant revision. I pretty much made the decision to abandon 80% or more of the concept art I have done for this so far.

So the Allies are more or less a de-facto UN/GDI (Command and Conquer franchise, Tiberium series). From what you described, it pretty much feels like Hellgate: London, Resistance: Fall of Man, Nether, Necrovision, and Wolfenstein (RTCW; 2009). I really like the dark, alternative WW2 atmosphere you portrayed.

I actually thought of something similar, mainly set after WW1 and based on anime since my heroes are Imperial Japan but I mostly made it as a piss take on alternative history media from Japan, notably Sakura Wars.

I will say, it only gets more complicated - encroaching on Neon Genesis Evangelion-grade religious/philosophical confusion.

Dang, I hope you have the strength to imitate the mind-blowing trippiness of the anime. People have been debating the anime for years.Β 

My idea is inspired byΒ Baltimore, or The Steadfast Tin Soldier, Hellboy, Gosick, Fullmetal Alchemist, Real history, Real social issues, Teito Monogatari, diverse literature and mythological traditions from around the world, HP Lovecraft, Sakura Wars(of course) etc. And also this Polish tabletop Scyth, now having an RTS adaptation called Iron Harvest. My heroes are from the outcast Eta caste.
