Description Here comes some Shinkawa-inspired unmanned weapon madness...we've got two unmanned weapons: a walking, roughly-humanoid one, the "Guerilla," and a flying one, the "Skua." I will eventually refine these and use them as common, "cannon fodder" drones used by the Dominion forces (formerly called Xandu) in the Kyrdan game project, but for now, enjoy the ugly, half-arsed shading, which I just realized kinda rips off *Zaeta-K 's style...oh well.

Anyways, the Guerilla differs from a typical robot in that rather than having limbs powered by electricity or hydraulics, its body is largely composed of cloned human muscle tissue, within a black, puncture-proof sheathing material. This technically makes it a cyborg, and enables much more fluid motion. It can wield a variety of weapons in its large hands as well. As a last resort, each Guerilla comes packaged with a high-explosive charge built into its main body...if all else fails, it can activate the charge, run at the enemy and explode, acting as a suicide bomber.

The pterodactyl-like Skua is all-mechanical, but instead of using a more conventional propeller or jet motor, it relies on unorthodox flapping wings, which emit no infrared exhaust signature and as such, enable the Skua to be very easily configured for stealth roles. It is mostly designed as a low-altitude, ground attack UAV, with a head-mounted laser cannon that can either fire in pulses or in a continuous cutting beam, and its two "talons" are actually hardpoints that can be equipped with a variety of heavier weapons such as missiles, machine guns, unguided rockets, or energy-projectile weapons. They can also be used to pick up enemy soldiers, then drop them to their death.

The Guerilla unit really expresses Shinkawa's style. Reminds me of some of his latest character designs in the Metal Gear series.

Thanks a bunch. And yes, the Guerilla was heavily inspired by MGS4, and to a lesser degree Metal Gear Rising, though I am not sure if Shinkawa did the designs for Rising or not...I heard he didn't. But in actuality it was mostly based on a really old mechanical design of mine called the "Phalanx," that I did back in 2009: [link]
See how it looks similar but different to the Guerilla?

Hmmm, why not draw me a picture of Raiden from Metal Gear? I like him, he's cool.

The latest one,right?Probably should l tell you that he is most likely going to be Anime style so don't expect him to be realistic though.

That's fine too. And yes, the latest one. Look forward to seeing Raiden in your style...

Okay then.Going to start work on it after I finished my comics besides some other requests and I am thinking about uploading my comics,which should be finished around the middle or the end of next month,in the mean time.

Tried to juggle between requests and the comics and in the end,it turned out that it is hard to do both at the same time at all so do expect a long wait as I upload the 34 paged comics,including the cover and the back cover,across roughly four months.
