I land once again as I have a thousand times before, in the torrential rain. The months of fighting have taken their toll, and until now, I was too tired to fight on. But the universe wants me to keep going, as it reminds me with its pouring lifeblood that I still breathe. I can feel the water washing away all the pain, and fatigue, dirt and blood, rejuvenating my body and spirit so that I might continue my work.
Let it pour down, bathe me in life, and clean my body mind and spirit. I will continue on, as good as new

if only it were just a LITTLE more clunky and huge. it wouldve been accepted as armor for Gears of War or Unreal Tournament!
I woulda said to start fighting for the Space Marine, but yer, those too. ^-^
I was thinking the same about the space Marine's... And i thought i was the only one to say yar instead of ya.
I'm getting more of a Terran Marine vibe, myself. Even if they are almost the same thing, they've got a few aesthetic differences.
Don't you mean Unreal Tournament 3? AKA the worst one of them all? Unreal Tournament Classic for ever!
I was about to comment on the finger.
But then I saw this comment about the finger.
Why the finger?
But then I saw this comment about the finger.
Why the finger?
Scalps are not easily transportable as necklaces and because everyone collects ears......why be cliche?
yeah everybody saw the universal soldier movie, and all want ears
Pff. There are other things you can take, some of which can actually be made into useful things. XD .. .. I was gonna ask "How useful would a finger be". But ya know. I can think of some things. XD
well, if you cleaned your nose of boogers with a disembodied finger, and someone still accuse you of picking your nose? Or would it be cleaning your sinuses, like using a qtip for one's ears?
Or using it for ears, or butt scratching, etc. ;p I'm sure many many uses could be thought of or this dangling bit of appendage.
It's obviously to make a statement; why flip your enemies your finger when you can flip them theirs.
Yeah, that finger really needed a dunk. I know you said you'd never clean it, but it was getting gross.
Your talent shall be miiiiiiiiiiiiine! *face hugs* XD I like the tone of this picture. Whats the thing with the red pendent on it? I'll gather charms, but is that a feather or something else?
And as I guessed, and confirmed from Stray's comment, its a finger... XD
if you EVER say you're not good again, i will cuuuuut youuu *bon qui qui from madtv*
i swear, if i had one iota of your talent, i.. i..... just... GAAH!!!!!
i swear, if i had one iota of your talent, i.. i..... just... GAAH!!!!!
Welcome back to the fight.
Jeez, how long, do you figure, did it take you to make all those individual rain droplets? It really adds an intense level of environment that wouldn't be there otherwise!

Amazing line art. and the coloring is really sharp. Good to see you bouncin back.
I see you killed someone in the process though. I believe that is a human funger.

Queen is one of my all time favorite bands. :3c
Gorgeous work! Your rain is superior to all other rain.

What's the significance of the various objects on the two "necklaces"? I spy a finger, a red teardrop-bead, a tooth and a nose-ring?
The overall impression is excellent, and very evocative.

That looks amazing, you actually look like a Space Marine, not chaos (like a tiger-man probably would be =P) but a straight up son of the Emperor
holy moly.
WOW.
Also, how much would you charge if that were a commission?

*throws the sketch pad down angrily* You win! lol This is just too awesome. Love it!
Amazing piece. Reminds me of your other awesome image~ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1550109/
Always loved that one, and now this one. ^^
Always loved that one, and now this one. ^^
I loved the rain in that one, but the mood and the mocking I got for it kinda spoiled it for me. So, this is taking over for it ^^
Meh Can't believe you got mocked for it. *shrugs* Some people just have to be bitten by Internet Asshole Syndrome
It's more about the comment I put in there. I completely and totally flipped my lid
Sometimes people have to vent. That is what it seemed like.
Can understand a lot of the frustration. I admit I envy your ability to draw, have kept trying, but lack any modicum of skill. And it seems people who also lack the skill try to...whats the phrase.... live through you, and they get pushy.
Even I have snapped online

FUCKING AWESOME. Things like this are exactly the reason i was willing to pony up $1k for a commission.
Oh, and tl;dr, STRYPE IS BACK, BITCHES!

Feeling better, I see? I'm glad.
I like storms too.
And this picture looks pretty awesome :V Probably your coolest armor so far. And it's nice to see him smiling like that. You really nailed the sentiment of the picture with his expression. NEVER GIVE UP!

Absolutely gorgeous. Looks like it took forever. The rain alone would be an amazing piece of art.
wow awesome, and cool...what would i give to just be half good than that!
Nice what I am assuming to be a drum fed shotgun of a rediculous gauge.
You know, since you're using mecha and power suits a full auto chain fed shotgun is not a ridiculous notion. Can you imagine the carnage a shotgun that fired like a turret would have?

a little bit of gears, a little bit of 40k.... a little of everything
Lovely inking and rendering. You did a very job with his face, too.
Well, that is.. not just a very job..
.. but a very GOOD job.
Someday I'll learn not to drop words.

Glad you found some motivation, Strype. Reborn. I take it you're feeling better.
I don't think anybodies problems are as hard as they make them out to be. Just keep
going and you'll make it through.

Obviously the red item is a tiny bottle of blood. These items he's strung on are all momentos of his one-on-one encounters, maybe because they stood out to him or because he wants to carry their strength into battle with him and use it. If I'm wrong I will give my right eye to add to his adornments.
you're dead on the money. The finger of a general that unleashed a nuclear war. the blood af a warlord that almost singlehanded raped an entire city of women and killed all their men and enslaved their children, the ring of an executive that gave an order that lead to a world dying from famine, and the tooth of an omnicidal alien that ate over a thousand people for the lulz
I like the symbolism you have for each of those. The finger that pressed the button, the blood of the one that drew so much blood, the ring representing wealth of a man that starves others to feed his greed, and the tooth is... well that's obvious. In other news, it's great to see you back in action. I always wanted to try to say something to help you out of your funk but I felt like it'd be a bit too forward.
Well, that means four less monstrosities the universe has to worry about.
It looks like he lost a few other trinkets, though, or is that my imagination?

Why did you kill the alien? :< The lulz were a good cause...unless, of course, you also did it for the lulz >.>
Also, to comemorate Seargent Andrew Scott, I suggest ear trophies for the next picture

Words cannot describe how awesome your art is Strype, always has been man.
Awesome armor, even better poetry! Have you ever considered writing poetry and submitting it?
fear not and keep up the good purification by the lead, my loyal soldier, hero of the Imperium ! the God Emperor protects those who serve him best !
Not hard. Now, you want a real kickass suit of armor? that mech from District 9
As much as we don't like furries in our 40k
I salute you for this work of art. Amazing work here haha

I absolutely love the way you brushed and made your rain <3
You never fail to put me in awe with the intensity of talent you put into your art
the rain looks so great on the awesome body armor!
Epic Win = you know what it equals...

Huh, well, interesting outlook on that. I suppose "I" (my character) would be standing there looking miserable. We don't like rain >.>
Beautiful piece though, well done as usual.

I see this pic, I read the Description, and I think Creed - Rain.

I had to go fetch my jaw off the floor after I saw the water effects on that fantastic looking armor. o_o Lovely!
The rain is a gift from the Holy Emperor. let it wash away the grime and spilled blood of the heretics you slaughter so that your flame of hatred for the enemy can be relight.
His holy work shall never be done.

Aight, I don't think anyone has said it yet so I will. You need to start making graphic novels man.This stuff is too good. Much respect.
Fan. Fucking. Tastic. Looks like a Starcraft marine armor. Am I far off? Yes/No?
This is all kind of badass... but I never understood why one would armor themselves enough to stop a tank round, then have their head completely exposed.
Dramatic purposes. the normal skull-helm that goes with that suit wouldn't be as "positive"
Now that is just kick ass. Dude the lighting and line work alone is awesome, and the coloring just adds to it. Great job.
You've got a staggering amount of comments up there, but I'm commenting anyway. Once in a while something comes along that has so much "wow" factor you just have to stop and catch your breath. Thanks for blowing my mind!
One simply CANNOT deny the beauty of this piece; the rain alone is enough to convince, but EVERYTHING is nicely rendered, the suit and face alike! :O
I thought the finger was a knee. Seemed to make more sense that way :3
I had this playing while examining the picture oddly enough. Bonus points!
strype (the character) has a curious habbit of looking up in his pics. except for the ones where he's in an obvious aggressive stance, he's looking skyward. or at least, not at the screen, like many of the girls tend to be. how much is a reflection on the artist and how much is coincidence is anyone's guess, but its interesting
At first i thought this was Games Workshop but can see up close it's your own style. Picture and description, absolutely amazing.
Oh god i don't know if i should use this as wallpaper on my cellphone or in my pc XD
awsome art strype

It's not that
i already have one of your pictures in my pc and cellphone
I don't know which one i should change D:
It's too hard

I like how HUGE the picture is. It contributes to the size of the armor.

Man, the quality of the rain images you create is superb.
Every piece you load is more badass than the last. I love this!
Love the little details too!

This may have been asked, but what kinda Armor is that? your average kinda unique space marine armor or from a specific Genre like GoW, Starcraft, or Dawn of War? =3 I ask because the vents on top look like Assault Marine Jumppacks.
Kinda genre-based more than anything. I've got a fetish for power armor, and a suit like this is exactly what I'd wear for my combat style (shock and awe ambusher). I happen to really dig ASM jump packs, so I've got a variant on there, as they're about the only kind of jetpack that looks like it could lift such heavy armor
.....I <3 you...Power Armor is amazingly awesome, I've always been in love with Space Marine power armor cause I find the shoulders epic, and the faces of the masks just give that whole "Im going to kick your ass and think nothing off it." expression.
The ASM Jumppacks are definately designed for big guys like the space marines and your fella up there :3 I totally agree.

it bears repeating, though everything that could be said about this has already been said...
absolutely amazing. the amount of detail is intense and worked well with the overall setting of this image. brilliant work, i especially love his expression.
*Tanek*

My first guess would be Space marine but the gun is throwing it off for me. But regardless it's a beautiful peace of art
Heh, the armor the tiger is wearing reminds me of the Space Marines of Warhammer40K. Really good picture
Very very freaking sweet, but before I read the description all I could hear in my head was "get to da choppa!"
Queen can make something incredibly awesome 50 times better. As seen here.
The kinda armor you use to step on people while shoot ya self some monsters and...is that a fucking finger? XD
Good work as always Strype.
Good work as always Strype.
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love

hehehe He looks as snug as a bug in a rug in that robot suit XD. But thats my opinion.
Ha ha ha! Good thing I made this awesome pose before my armor rusted solid.
Looks very nice, I love the perspective and the detailing in the rain. Very lifelike, yet with a touch of fantasy.
Power armor makes everything better, even rain. Though I love rain to begin with so whatever.
this is absolutely incredible the story makes it have substance and makes it more than an awesome tiger in a huge war suit it makes it into a tired giant tiger in an awesome war suit becoming refreshed again and i think the rain is a perfect way to do that rain is too often thought of as misery i love the idea of it being rejuvenating i love how determined and just renewed he looks amazing work as always strype! keep up the good work
I feel like I shouldn't have known what this was about from just the title -- v -- . Nice rain on the beefy armor.
Well Everyone took my compliments.
But does this mean his PTSD is more or less recessed, and still has the legs?
But does this mean his PTSD is more or less recessed, and still has the legs?
So i guess for armor,d oes that mean he doesn't use extensions, and just plugs directly into the armor?
Yep. That way they can be better anchored, and in general erform better under the stresses of the very physical combat he gets himself into
as i remember form the 2k9 charsheet. He likes it up close, personal and quite rough.
He should be a american football player in his off time.
I admit, I find Strype the character fascinating. I always liked cybernetics. *smirks* hell, my own fursona is, though not quite to that level. And the fact he isn't really perfect or "ZOMG I iz a GOD" like powers. But definitely not someone to dick around with.

Dude, at some point I'm going to have to show what happens when enough people are shooting at him with big enough guns. He'll totally panic and run for cover as fast as his legs can take him. He's way more of an ambusher, and he'd rather take you down before you can really get people shooting at him
A pounce. *grins* how Catlike.
Though it must be hard to be stealthy with 2 tons of armor ^_^
Though it must be hard to be stealthy with 2 tons of armor ^_^
oh, you'd be surprised how he can go unnoticed. though, the other half of the time he's coming down on his targets like a meteor. not a lot of warning there
I keep thinking I should come up with a LOLCat for that. something like: MeteorCat Rainz Down on U Or something like that
A salute to the one who fights. A salute to the one who lives. A salute to the one who dies.
Wonderful, absolutely wonderful. The rains come and wash the dirt and grime, leaving the true jewel that lies hidden under the scum. So shine I say, shine and light the world with the fire that shall never be put out.

all hail the empire and all its glory *salutes* heh sorry im an imperialist when it comes to these things*
I love everything aout this picture and your little mini story. all... except for the finger. lol
... if he doesn't put the top up, he's gonna get flooded in the suit. XD
... and as for the finger, I bet he needs to refresh that every few days--it's gotta get stinky rather quickly.

You would make one hell of a space marine ;) The rain looks nice, it sure looks refreshing
This... is... wow... I'd sure hate to be your opponent in battle... Then again, could be fun, too...
no no no ... borderlands armory of general knoxx :P im so addicted to this game XD soldier class FTW! ^^
but XD 8.7 bazzilion guns i stand by borderlands :P for the diablo 2 system with first person shooter
Even after seeing it so many times, seeing this pic...
I've had an idea on how to make a DIY powered exoskeleton for a while. The biggest problem I'd really need to work out is actual mechanical design of joints to allow a full range of motion, and how to mount servos, but I believe I've got a cost-effective way to handle control.
Every time I see this pic, and many of your others, I get inspired to start work on it. But alas, I have no workshop.

wow that is awesome. looks like star craft marine armor. this is a fave
That is HARDCORE. I love the ornamentation that decorates the armor. I really love the description that you made for this as well. ^_^ *Faved*
step one: Wear a body suit with approximately the same mass as an Abrams
step two: Forget to wear a helmet
step two: Forget to wear a helmet
Control to Alpha Leader One... Control to Alpha Leader one. More rain in forecast. Good thing Tigeroids don't mind getting wet. Over! (Chkchhh!)
Holy... Jeez that is one highly detailed picture. I... just wow. I'm speechless on that. How long did it take?
What did you use to make the Rain effect? I have been trying to use a few different programs with no luck...
photoshop, skillful application of the brush, and in some spots, special brushes
Still one beautiful pick, wish I could fave twice. I like the little story to.
It's shots like me that make me insanely jealous. Really solid, realisitc armour design, great facial expression, stunning rain effect...
Colour me envious, heh.
Colour me envious, heh.
Ack! 'Shots like this that make me jealous'...frickin typos.
I've already commented on how amazing this art is, but I just noticed the keywords.
Man your art is sooo beautiful! I envy and marvel at your talents!
