Calm Before The Storm

[Saieno]

This is a sketch of Terran Republic soldiers at a Tech Plant, heading out to the next battle. The galaxy is kind of a mix of the old model and the new model, works for what I wanted anyway. We have the Rexo up in the front left, a light assault talking with a female medic to the right, and a mosquito flying off near the tech plant. Hope everyone likes it, it's called Calm Before The Storm.

I'm digging the Gal. Looks great!

Looks much better than last time the background being filled in instead of being mostly contour really helped it out.

[CyclesMcHurtz]

That's sweet!

I got a question... why the hell aren't you like, making a graphic novel already?

[Bittermen]

Add some color! Looks awesome.

[Fenrys]

Cool.

That's some excellent work, Saieno. Holy crap. What do you do for a living, man?

[Immigrant]

Very nice!

[Tcakes]

That's actually a really cool idea. Could probably take the storylines they've posted on Planetside2.com and make some short graphic stories. Though with my job I don't think I'll have enough free time to really get them done how I would like, or flesh out the stories.

Thanks! I'm actually a payroll clerk at the moment. Always wanted to do game development for a living, but after going to school for it things didn't really pan out. I've worked on a few projects, but still trying to find my way over to California.

Nah haha, not trying to hint at anything specific. Just had an idea for a scene I thought would look really cool and decided to give it a shot.

You should talk to SOE about permissions for doing a Kickstarter campaign so we can fund your graphic novel. If you got backed for $20k or $50k in a few weeks, you might be able to work less hours or quit your job and do full time game art.

I can't say for sure how your novel might be integrated with PS2's marketing, but if you start a Kickstarter campaign, definitely post the link here and I'll chip in a healthy amount.

Nice work looks good!
