Description
A patriotic poster, popular during his reign, of Emperor Olav, at the culmination of the Battle of Rhylanor, the pivotal conflict of the First Frontier War. Olav, although known for his excellent physical conditioning and having been born on a 1.2 G world, is generally considered to be portrayed in exaggerated proportions here.
--From the History of the Empire in Images, Terra University Press 1108
I've been wanting to do something with Xurge's great freebie suit for the Freak, and this idea just kinda popped.Also used is Red House Studio's great AMS assault craft.
Rendered in Daz/Studio, with postwork in Photoshop CS3.
Thanks for taking a look!

Nice work!

I thought it was "INto the breech"? Part of the U could be photoshopped out and no one would know. Pretty good looking. It does have that "Join the Imperial Marines and Save the World" flavor to it. Good job!
Danter

odile

Yep, great looking suit and render. "Unto" according to my dictionary is acceptable as an older form of "to" as in Do unto others.

I think you should just go for, "Hey guys, let's all go to that beach over there and do something unspecified." It leaves open an air of mystery. Neat composition. I love the graphic treatment of the background and how the drop ships break frame, internally. Nice palette too and the embossed Imperial sunburst is a fun addition. The whole thing has a great book/game cover feel to it.

Great image! But.. [WARNING EXTREME MIDDLE-AGED GEEK ALERT!!!!] It says right here in my copy of Traveller Supplement 3 that Olav was born on Rhylanor, which is a size 4 world (Starport is A, perhaps that's the confusion) Not that this distracts in any way from the image.

Err...Well... uhh... sure, its size 4, but its uhhh, very dense! Yeah! Lots of heavy metals! Used to be the core of a gas giant! Yeah! Thats it....Besides, that's misinformation! Planted by Olav's ditractors. He GREW UP on Rhylanor, but he was born...errr...someplace else! I should know better than to try to play fast and loose with story when I know perfectly well that Traveller fans are out there. Do you believe I was a technical editor for Digest Group?... As for the "Unto" and "Into"- I've always remembered it as Unto, although it appears Mr. Shakespeare did, in fact, write "Into". My bad! (its all because of an overzealous AI search and replace routine that rewrote all of the plays in the mid 3300s...)

I've always enjoyed your work. I wondered if you were the infamous Tom Peters from DGP. Now I know. Keep up the great work past to Present. Traveller Lives! Butch
