Description

Finally, after much work and a hell of a lot of procrastination, I have come to this final conclusion. This has been in the works for a long... long time. In fact, I started this image back in 2012! Basically I started it and then neglected it for a long time. At one point I did'nt think it would ever get finished... EVER! But here it is :dummy:

Razer Wren is exploring a post apocalyptic Earth. Humanity has been fractured, forcing the population to exist either underground or in their numerous space colonies among the stars. Still seeking redemption and a reason to continue living, Ren wanders the crumbling fog ridden metropolis in search of salvation. "Nobody's home... this feels so familiar" he remarks in a sombre fashion. He's practically paralysed in thought as he casually walks further on and crouches down to scoop up dust, only to let it slip through his synthetic fingers like an egg timer.

Among the dusty remnants, something stirs in the distance. The ground begins to tremmor, it feels like a powerful locomotive has lost control and is hurtling in Ren's direction. However, the frequency of pulses in the ground are indicative of something other than a locomotive, something far more deadly. In the distance, Ren can see four red dots piercing the fog. Without hesitation Ren stands up with haste and fabricates a pulse rifle with his right arm, pointing it at the approaching anomaly. As soon as he attempts to discharge a round, Ren looks at his HUD and realises his photon charges have been depleted. "shit, need a contingency" he says to himself abruptly. Getting medieval is his best and only option. Ren fashions his left arm as a laser tipped mitre saw and turns back, he stumbles and strikes the ground with the implement, causing bright sparks to bounce across the ground as he fights to regain balance. At this point, this new threat is mere metres behind Ren, pounding the ground and kicking up clouds of dust, jaws gaping with its red hot primary weapons core bathing the surroundings in crimson light.

Yeah, to nail down the overall tone I wanted, I listened to a lot of hard and aggressive industrial EBM bands like Phosgore www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIoivc… and Sam www.youtube.com/watch?v=bis0Zn…. I can just imagine that thing stomping around and causing the ground to vibrate while listening to that material. Oh, and man, I listened to a lot of Judas priest www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ4Nel…. To be honest, the Painkiller album and its art pretty much influenced the image overall. I suppose I had fun rendering this image. I say "suppose", because to be honest, I was getting rather sick of the sight of it ^^; In fact, the beast itself has been a product of my nightmares, I might need help :p
