Description "Two days earlier, they were negotiating the contract. The Mayor of Surino said raiders and bandits were holed up in this remote township. Roughly a dozen or so. The job? Wipe them all out. He had the gall to lowball the whole process, but the company held firm. In the end only 10% was knocked off the final fee, with 50% paid upfront.

And once they set foot, something was amiss. Leave it to the clients to practice full disclosure. Nobody was there, just boarded up homes, loose dirt, and dead trees.

Sweep the place clean. Leave no stone unturned. Team leader Sterling didn't even have to remind his men to set their weapons to fire. Every man's trigger finger was his safety. But as the mists settled and the crows began taking off, they all started to feel anxious. Someone, or something, was coming."

For 's contest: absolutejackass.deviantart.com…

Decided to change the composition in this one. But I liked the earlier piece too, so what'd I'll do is later polish that one as a full body concept. Still going to tighten this one up gradually.

Decided the lead man would be a southpaw. But in all fairness, a skilled operator should be able to competently shoot ambidextrously.

Another great perspective from recent same concept btw from these wonderful arts you seem to have a story to tell or is it just rough ideas you thought of and suddenly drew them because you had the "rush" in the that particular moment where you fell the idea is gona be fresh/Awesome like ?

There is a story, but it's part of a larger universe, which is a bit too complicated to explain now. Of course I do bits and pieces of art, but when I have enough to go on, I'll start more effort on elaborating and tying everything together. 


Though this thing is for a contest on deviantart, it also fits with my goals.

Larger universe ? I see does it also contain parallel universes as well ?
