Description

Colour-Sergeant Katie Higham of 7 Commando Brigade of the Royal Space Marines hoists a new Myr Mk2 Light Lance Man Portable Laser Infantry Weapon (MPLIW) in a justifiably proud pose. 7 Commando has just become the first operational unit to be outfitted with the weapon, in anticipation of their upcoming deployment to the Thoth colony. Colour-Sergeant Higham is wearing another new addition to the RSM kit, the LARVA Combat Environment Suit, which was designed from the ground up to integrate with the power and data systems of the Light Lance. Katie and her mates will deploy in September, after through training with their new systems, on HMSS Courageous for what is expected to be an 18 month tour. Moebius over at Team Dystopia just recently released the Myr Mk2 as a freebie. Its based on one of my favorite SF weapons, the Laser Rifle in Katsuhiro Otomo's animated epic, Akira. I couldn't wait to do an illo featuring it, and it just seemed to go with Xurge's LARVA suit for V4. Rendered in Daz Studio, with lots of postwork in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop CS. Thanks for having a look! -Tom

Yes, enough scowling faces, or no-pose/blank expressions. Someone has to crack a smile eventually. Nice profile.

Great composition. The LARVA and beret make a great combo! Yeah, that weapon looks sweet. What I was reminded of, on first glance, was the rocket launcher from UFO in the episode "Timelash". It looks like you just used colored material zones and not textures on the weapon, eh? Great graphic treatment... but, well... kinda figures I'd say that, huh? ;P

Cool and Amused - she knows every new weapon is going to go south at the first sign of combat and all those trusty all worn weapons they hid in every nook and crany will be pulled out. With just the right garage engineer maybe a third of them will be combat operational. Wonderful story and great image - I love her expression.

Very cool armor design and look to the material its made of not sure how comfortable the shoes are going to be with no heal unless she's related to a fawn.
