Description And the hammer drops...

A scene from the fulcrum point of the Polemos arc (episodes 12-13), the point at which the "war" moves from deadly, yet controlled theater to all out apocalyptic proportions. Indus, long in a throwback semi "civilized" and "ordered" conflict with Polemos has now completely broken the various treaties that has governed the primarily FOIL-centric conflict for some time. Now things have moved from geological trade and ideologically driven dispute to full scale invasion and siege of Polemos by Indus and mysterious forces behind the scenes.

The battle for Polemos is something of epic scale with the planet being attacked by new anti FOIL combat frames and until this point unknown weaponry.

The scene here is a remaining quad walker AA tank firing at what would be a frightening "unknown" to the military forces of Polemos and the Vulne Consortium. The green beam coming from the unknown has scored a direct hit on a treaded tank utterly obliterating it in one shot. This piece was created by salvaging an element from another piece (of the siege as well) that originally had the quad tank but I felt it was better served to remove and turn it into a new piece. There will be more glimpses of this pivotal battle for Polemos , including FOILs in combat, coming in the future. Black Son refers to Indus, The Eye of Sol.

This drawing looks amazing. I absolutely love the mech and the explosion, though everything else is so well done too.

Great tank design, looks pretty deadly. Shame the Unknown thing is deadlier.

Thanks and yes there's some bad stuff on the loose I'd like to think this is the little walking tank that could, a badass tank crew making the great last stand.

zJoriz In reply to VulnePro [2008-06-23 07:44:05 +0000 UTC]

I can imagine too... the commander being a hard-drinking, unshaven veteran in his 50s whose wife and kids won't speak to him... and of course, he's got bad standing with his superiors (which is why he commands a single AA tank). But in battle, he rallies his crew to the fullest, tries the meanest tricks and gives everything he's got in the face of a superior enemy.

Hope you don't mind me "hijacking"

Very cool action glimpse! Heh, the impression I'm getting: laser > cannon ! Awesome!!

Thanks man Aye it's something rather dreadful we could say. An epochal event that sends huge shock waves through the populace of SOL. Yeah this is just a little peek and I plan to be doing more peeks of this event for future postings It's def a beam weapon but more charged plasma which accounts for it being visible. Being that FOIL warfare has been limited to bladed weapons and projectile weapons this would come as a shock and be problematic to deal with.

Great use of reflected light from the explosion and the beam on the quad tank.

Thanks man It was a fun little piece to do. More an intimate snapshot of an event of massive scale. One valiant little quad tank facing off against something terrible. More or less grunt tank drivers Polemos soldiers. Did they survive? I guess we'll leave that to the imagination but I'd like to think so

Damn man, this is one action packed frame. I'd really like to see this in action, especially that delicious looking explosion in the background.

So, the quads are engaging a FOIL? Or is it just some other nasty from your universe.

VulnePro In reply to Daemoria [2008-05-27 15:01:58 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a ton Felix for the kind words and the We'll say it's a nasty other than a FOIL but similar in concept and purpose, similar-ish Aye, the explosion was damn fun to do so I'm glad it came off so well. The piece was really an improvisation in order to use that tank illo that otherwise would have ended up unused

There will be images of the FOILs in combat soon and dammit I need to finish that FOIL collab we began way back when (been so busy with other stuff). My C drive blew up on my old PC during the gig with Ubisoft and that piece was on it but I managed to salvage it so I plan to get to finish it and some other stuff

What is this from? It\'s a really good design ...

VulnePro In reply to MasterOfPointillism [2008-05-27 14:55:49 +0000 UTC]

It's an original design and illustration for and intellectual property created and owned by my studio so it's not from anywhere else but right here It's an image art illustration intended to convey the proposed possible look of an animated TV series, both pitch art and done for the sheer fun of doing it. Thanks for the comments!

nice design concept. I would like to read a story on the invasion.

Thank you kindly Being it's tied into the storyline of the proposed TV series arc I'll sadly have to keep doling out information snacks, just peeks and tidbits for now. Still you can expect enough provocative information to get a sense of things

VulnePro In reply to victortky [2008-05-29 06:24:13 +0000 UTC]

It's not a TV show yet but it's intended to be one. It's all pre-vis and pitch materials at this point but being there's more than what would be needed for a pitch it's also simply my enjoyment of the process of exploring this world visually and sharing those explorations with you guys
