Description
Finished this off in my internet downtime during my move to NZ. I finished this to a lesser extent a few weeks ago but lost half of it due to PS crashing literally right before my final save, so here it is again.Portrait practice mixed with my usual 'Rangers all the things' habit.

6 eyes total must give a great return data feed. i can only imagine how the depth perception works inside the helmet.

Visuals projected at each eye to properly simulate depth perception, while also being able to tweak the rules when it helps.

There is no reference. Might be coincidence though.

Hmmmmm, she's cute... Love the portrait. I may have just missed some work of yours but are there any male Rangers? Happy New Year BTW.

Rangers yes, not Elementals in the official program.

So what are the Elementals...are they AI or are they integrated into the armor?

It's the name of the individuals and system as a whole, the pilot, armor, and AI. A design classification and a title.

ah, that makes sense now. thanks. so the shields are...what...hard-light?
Sorry to pester you with questions but I love artwork with a unified story behind it. XD

Hard light is a good way to describe it. It can have varying levels of friction and heat.

Well thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. BTW on your commissions page you said that you're working on a book for the Rangers. I look forward to reading it.

The Elementals are female, Rangers are a larger entity (undecided on what level of military scale contains them so far).

I enjoy your sketchwork, and then you draw something so amazingly detailed like this and man. Just so good. I honestly can't decide which aspect of your art I like more, your black and white sketches, or these full colored full detailed pieces.

Great work again, Sword. I love this face, It seems a little weary and has seen some action but yet is still beautiful. Hope your move is/was alright.

A few hickups along the trip, but everything made it here ok.

Such a rough helmet, to such a delicate face... Awesome.

It is nice to finally see what one of your soldiers look like under all that crazy body armor.

Haha, most of the time PS works great for me. I only get about 1 or 2 crashes a year, and luckily this one was just on some portrait practice, not a commission.
