Made this for my little happy conbook, cuz I do that every year, and wasn't originally intending to post here, but I was convinced otherwise
Background's not quite what it was last year, and no bio this time (it's pretty much the same, though) but at least the anatomy looks better
GO FATTY GO!

Red Faction! What a fun game. The 2nd one was hilarious. I loved the bizarre little remarks the enemies would blurt out while you were fighting them.
Mmmmm...thick mens. *bellypats*
He's looking more and more like the real you every time. XD

I am Heavy Weapons Tiger.. and this is my hammer. Who touched Daybreaker?
Sorry dude xD Though I did think others would be thinking the same thing!
All good x'D
We know we've been playing TF2 a little too much, don't we? xD

I haven't in like, a year, actually xD But my brother always is so i'm contantly reminded of it..
....if you have steam
You. Me. If my pals and I get back into TF2, I will show you how retarded we can be. xD

This is probably my favorite design yet for Strype's bionic legs. Excellent work!
The back end of that hammer looks like it would do nasty things to any non-composite armor.
designed to hook under panels and grooves in tanks and pry off armor... or impale people
I thought so. It also looks like smaller power armor pilots would shit sizable bricks at it, because it'd go through light armor easily and incapacitate a unit with one blow by killing the pilot.
He is still so cute and awesome! I still wants to hug him XD
nice stuff! i see that the character has evolved just a little bit (as has your style) over the past few years.
I totally love the clothes on ya, wish that I could have these :)
but can I get the permition to make those pants? I'm at highschool as a clothes maker student, is that ok?

Dude, I've been wanting pants like these forever. if you can make it happen, I will squee and probably draw for you
that's a deal
it's gonna take some time before it's done, but I think I will be done with it over the summer

good thing he upgraded from those chicken legs, the new legs looks sweet.
and now for something completely different...a bad, silly joke
"Stop! Tiger time!"

hmm,is it me or did you put on a little weight Strype? Prehaps you should should consider going technorganic, you'll never have to worry about an expanding waistline. lol. All kidding aside I do have to say your work and character has evolved quite a bit since i first ran across it. =)
That is a fantastic piece strype! Awesome :D
Miran: Dang!...he's taller than me by two inches.....Cool :D

why does that hammer remind me of Red Faction? :3 also kick ass wrok dude. your art is looking better and better by each pic
"Eagle Pendent: Always wears it, even in the shower" ... For another half an hour, he's got the urge, natural botanicals, he's got the urge to herbal~. |3
Your style sucks, you should stop drawing immediately.
Just kidding, I love it of course, I just wanted to post something that would stand out! D:

And he was looking too soft and friendly. He is not soft and friendly
hahah, so he's like a girl. instead of having a million different pair of shoes he has different legs.
Great character btw!

thanks to the artificial musculature around there, watching him put them on is like watching an octopus eat a baby impaled on a pipe =3
Comfortably well-rounded. the kinda guy who can kick your ass on the battlefield and in the rec room. I like it!
Looking like Coach a bit there in the waist. xD Still dangerous as ever i see.
Hmmm...
Instead of skates, can have wheels or mattracks.( http://www.mattracks.com/html/latest_news.htm )

Holy cow, remind me to never be on the opposite side of him in a fight.
Actually, i don't think i'll even need reminding. . .
Awesome hammer, and the bionic legs are pretty cool too!

Amazing work Strype.
amazing attention to detail, interesting style, and overall simple awesomeness.
amazing attention to detail, interesting style, and overall simple awesomeness.
I've always admired your attention to detail. Not just in an artistic sense, either. While it is impressive that you manage to outline, shade, color and shade many intricate details on a subject's face or apparel, your attention to character profile is also very astounding, particularly with these reference sheets.
For instance, the eagle pendant, the cuffs, the bionic legs, while expertly rendered artistically, reflect a well-rounded nature to the character. In addition to aesthetic positives concerning these items, Strype is made more substantial by these subtle accessories. Perhaps the pendant reminds him of something/someone special. Mayhaps the cuffs represent the character's feelings towards authority. Are the legs a reminder of personal sacrifice or serious pangs the character has suffered through?
Of course, all this could be pretense. Perhaps your reasons for accessorizing Strype so is to make him look rather dashing and nothing more. Regardless, I've always enjoyed not only the visual aspects of your art but marveled at how lifelike and whole they seem to be.
You lately stated that your artwork lacked "heart". It's true, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But let it be said that your work most certainly possesses heart and soul. It might be a broken heart, yes. But as I see it, it is well on its way to repair.

Honestly, I try to make the features have some meaning. The Pendant is a bit of a double, the eagle representing freedom and flight (he spends a lot of time jetpacking around) and he also takes it to represent a pheonix, as a reminder that he'll always rise from the ashes no matter what happens.
The cuffs were initially aesthetic, cuz I thought they'd look cool, but now he sees them as a representation of self-control. His impulsiveness has gotten him into some deep shit before, so this is a reminder of him to remain restrained and patient.
And the legs, well, I put them on there as I thought they'd be cool and I hate my own feet for their various problems. I'd totally replace my own with better robotic ones if I had a chance. To the character, though, they represent a lesson, when a lapse in his awareness caused him to be in the sights of a hovertank when it fired, and the railgun took off his feet as he leapt for cover. Initially, to him it was a penance for screwing up, but now he considers them a boon, as he can quickly swap them out, and constantly improve them or use different types for different situations. This has also given him a bit of philosophical insight, as now he often views setbacks and tragedy as opportunity
So yeah...

Exactly! I know I used big words to make myself sound smart, but this is the kind of thing I'm talking about. This makes your characters more three-dimensional. Maybe not in a strictly artistic sense.
Each of those things tells a story about the character and are symbols, if not allegories, of his attributes. Like you said, the phoenix rising from the ashes represents his persistent and determined nature (at least, that's the conclusion I hope you were trying to convey). In reality, its this trait that makes you one of my favorite artists. Although drawing things to "look cool" is nice, you seem to take it one or two steps further by making characters both physically and emotionally unique.
Stay golden, Strype. I am sure I speak for many when I say we await your future works with great anticipation.

But yeah... compared to my cheetah character, this guy's a beast. Daytona may be 6' 5", but he weights only 170 lbs XD

'It's hammer time". Fatty, yeah more realistic. Your still getting better and better.
On the other and, how much did this cost to the armor division to make some new gear for you to fit in?

I had tried, and he does not do them often, nor is he on often, atleast not on msn...
I don't use that msn address anymore. too many people, often wanting RP fights
exactly what my friend was wanting, and what I had wanted when I first added you... oh well live moves on
That hammer is they scariest/coolest thing ever. Excellent work. This is really bad ass!
Looks great! Love the realistic body proportions...although the head looks just a tad small but all in all it looks great...I like the belly! >;3
Whoa. I didn't know Strype had a habrid machine/organic brain.
Reading more on this, it looks like the idea I had for my good friend and brother
spectrefrostpaw
I'll send ya more info in a note, if you'd like.

a "small" head emphases height and size and really gives the appearance that he is 7ft tall. The head stays the same size no matter how big the body gets.
Didn't realize he was 7', needed to read description more.
Still looks a bit out of proportion. "Giants" in the real world have heads that match their bodies.

Drawn to the metal legs! I think it's the smoothness of the armour.
Outstanding work!
I'm curious about the pendant on the end of the handle of the hammer, though. Is that a roaring tiger's face?

I love how nearly every year Strype gets a redesign. Some I haven't liked as much as others, but I adore this one. He looks ready for action.
Beautiful work altogether.
"Uplifted"? Do you happen to be a fan of any of David Brin's books?

Aww, your legs are different... I'm doing something for you, just to make you grin, at least. ^^; I used your "Lovers" piece as a reference, so the legs are different... Hope you don't mind. It was supposed to be a surprise...
I demand to draw things for you at AC

Proportional.
Big, muscular characters usually have big heads.. you can make the rest of your body bigger, but your head cant get any bigger xD
But, yeah, like I said. Proportional.

Have you written anything up regarding the manipulator tentacles in your arms? I'm wondering what they are used for.
Soooo cool! Awesome reference sheet, especially the weapon, it's pretty unique. :O
I like the handle of the Hammer. The curve I would imagine gives it a little bit of extra torque on the swing. I've seen a few katanas crafted like that
You know, the rear of your hammer looks like a can-opener for the biggest beer EVER! Daybreaker nothin'! Call it the KEGERATOR! =D
Explains the beer pooch, too. o.o *pokes* Alky. :D

Sorry, keeping a gun on you at all times is not indicative of paranoia, it's indicative of common sense.
I mean that in kind X3
Great picture as always. Wish I had money to commission a ref sheet from you.

Wow, cool melee weapon, looks dangerous. Could be more usefull than a chainsaw.
But you have a great mind on all this military and science-fiction weapons'n'stuff.
And it also looks like it may weigh alot.
I am into military work and stuff like this myself, I never upload anything because my drawings and designs are way to big to be uploaded (too big in MB's).
But I am vary into Tanks at the most, I could suggest for you a drawing, not me, or not for me. If you are into Sci-Fi then the tank called the MARV (google C&C MARV) is really good for this, I think from after seeing all this work, its a thing that you may like.
Oh, your hammer looks very dangerous.. I do not want to get in the way of that..
But great work you got, I look forward to seeing more.
Good day.

Got to say how much I admire your work and LOVE this character of yours.
Wow, i didn't realize how big you were, and had bionic legs. :3 Very nice
I think what I love most about your character, besides the f*cking awesome art, is how realistic it is. Im not just talking about the detail. Your character truly represents *YOU* Its not an overly muscled freakish exaggeration of your physical proportions(nevermind the cyber-legs). yer proud of who you are, and regularly display it in your art. So yeah, as you so eloquently put it, "go fatty go!"
btw, some time, ive been thinking of commissioning a character sheet from ya. and its gonna be a doosy. the two hardest parts of my character are his weapon of choice and the energy aura that surrounds him. Saying that he is a 5 species hybrid should give an idea of how difficult of a project it would be. Hopefully ill get around to reading the journals so Ill know when you open commissions.

btw, forgot to mention, no im not asking, I know your commissions arent open, this is just me drooling at the thought :P
HOLY SHIT I remember you now! I saw a PSURG commission of you a long while back and didn't realize who it was that was making these kickass pictures until I saw this one.
Dude. You are badass beyond belief.

I love the design :0 For once a large fur that isn't insanely muscled lol Love it love it love it
Just to throw in my two cents: he's not fat...he's beefy! Sure, there's a bit of padding in the middle (which many, many big men have), but that, my friends, is energy storage for a lot of useful muscle. Those 2% body fat ultra-cut guys start to starve waaaay too fast.
Or, as my boss would put it: sturdy, but sexy!

He's straight, ain't he? I almost always seem to get the hots for the straight ones...

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy........................
*Foxy goes to cry in the corner*
The hottest ones are straight, I swear. And it ain't just because you're not available, because I've had major crush-hot-obsessions with guys for weeks before finding out they're straight....
*Pouts*
You're still hot..... and so is your art.
