Description
Thomas Bailey is generally more at home with machine guns, but if you give him a gravity hammer, he wades into the lines of the enemy like a god of war..as this Covenant-Remnant Elite Captain is about to find out, to his error. Shields out, staring into the face of death...
There's a reason that he is heavy weapons and support. This man is a walking tank. You can shoot him, crush him, tackle him, ram him with a tank. But he'll keep coming, and he won't stop until all hostiles have been crushed beneath the head of the hammer. One does NOT want to be on the wrong side with him.
This picture took me about three days overall to get down, what with all the sketching, procrastination and shading. I still need to work on colours (Too much grey, need to figure out lighting, make backgrounds), but other than that...I'd say that this is my proudest moment so far with art. I wanted the pose to evoke a feeling of fear and finality, with Thomas glaring down at the elite, his boot on its chest, about to swing the hammer down on it and sound the all clear to the rest of the fireteam. He's the leader for a reason, and I wanted also to show the aura of honed power. Kind of like a Brute, but more terrifying.
Well, I hope this fits! Next picture is going to star some OCs from WinterSpectrum and after that, I'll try to pop in a pic with Archangel470 and CommanderNova702 as well! Art incoming, guys!
