<div class="IPBDescription">Concept Art</div> Named after my favourite NS-Server (which went down this spring... ) I've created a concept for
<b>The Doom Brigade</b>
<img src='http://www.joshbeeler.com/ramses/images/misc/concepttdb.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image'>
The Doom Brigade is a special unit of the Frontiersmen. Trained to strike against the Kharaa swift and hard, soldiers of The Doom Brigade have only very few equipment. This allows them to operate extremly fast and retreat just as quick.
Due to the fast and unpredictable evolution of the Kharaa (things like Umbra and Sporecloud), all members wear a gasmask, no matter what environment they're operating in.
When the TSA-Headquarter founded The Doom Brigade, their scientists took the chance to introduce a new kind of fabric, which allowed them to get rid of nearly most of their old armor-plating. But many members doesn't really trust in this new "Skulk-Proof" fabric and continue to wear "real" armor at most vital places...
The Standard Weapons of The Doom Brigade are the good old CZU Light-Machine-Gun and the Cx10 Pistol, albeit they use customized models with high-explosive munition which would be too dangerous to handle in "normal" combat situations. This gives The Doom Brigade the ability to kill even the Kharaa-Lifeform known as "Fade" with a few bullets (although there isn't much left to identify the lifeform as a Fade). The only drawback is the extrem danger that lies in accidents involving those high-explosive munition (high-radioactvie too, of course)
After the first few successful missions, The Doom Brigade was ordered to collect any Kharaa-Corpse for further research studies...
The Doom Brigade isn't concepted for long battles but for fast enemy-contact without much fighting. They are called, when the TSA-Headquarter has hopes that the Kharaa has just began infestion and could be taken out with a quick, effective operation.
[edit]Well, I forgot to mention that i was strongly inspired by Half-Life 2 Screens (pretty clear, I think) and Natural-Selection (even more clear). The main inspiration (not for the soldier itself, but for drawing <i>something</i>, was a newspost at <a href='http://www.hl-nightwatch.net' target='_blank'>http://www.hl-nightwatch.net</a> [/edit]

would be cool as modell but like u probebly can guess very useless, no armor and a gasmask <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
gonna get smashed when the onos comes <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
About the uselessness: Well, The Doom Brigade isn't ment to fight against an Onos, they attack even before the first Hive is up. Their intention is to destroy the Kharaa before it can settle down or grow much infestation...
The Doom Brigade go in, blast away some gorges and skulks, kill one or two lerks and an occasional fade, places a nuke and went out... The Kharaa shouldn't get enough time to realize the danger or to evolve into an Onos (I imagine that the Kharaa only evolve to another Lifeform if they need to)
BAHBAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA
but nice drawing!
I havent played NS in so long.. im beginning to forget what its like to bite a humans arm off. Unfortunantly this mod isnt like those realistic mods where if you cant play, at least you can grab a gun and go live it in a game induced rampage...
Of coarse... i would never... do... that...
*ahem* forget you read that. Anywho, Nice picture and long time no see everybody =)
If yall find a good server dont forget to tell me bout it.
For the record... im not psycho... realy...
Keep practicing, drawing well comes with time. Concentrate on proportions and getting perspective angles down pat.
Hehe, Liku. You didn't read the post <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
