<b><i> Story </i></b>
<i>Walking down a silent hall, the light armoured marine scanned the dark place, no signs of hostiles.
Then as he thought it was safe to relax, a skulk appeared out of nowhere and leapt at him with full force, shattering his armour and knocking him into a nearby wall.
Struggling the marine tried to push the skulk off. The skulk growled as it thrashed about biting the marines flesh, the marine panicked as the skulk bit his arm and chest, with all his force he pushed the skulk off and pulled out his knife then charged.
Trying to stab the creature as it danced around him taunting him. then the skulk did a mid spin toward the marine as its front legs hit the ground and then screeched as it leapt at the marine and latched onto his throat. The marine struggled and thrashed as the skulks grip got tighter.
Blood sprayed out as the skulk bit harder, slicing his arteries, falling to the ground, the marine now losing blood fast could only lie there staring into the skulks deadly eyes as it held onto his throat.
Then, everything dissapeared, and the marine went limp.
Carefully the skulk released the marines throat and let him drop, pulling its foreclaw out of the marines arm, it watched as the blood dripped off. The skulks eyes seemed to glow more as it stared at Its first kill. </i>

But other than that it pwns!
It is beautiful, but is about ten times more violent then your norm, kylie - in fact, I don't think I've ever seens you make anything so graphically violent ever before. What is up with that?
Only if you could draw these things faster I would splooge my pants
Excellent work, has to be the best NS artwork I have ever seen.

LMG looks OK to me , but the eyes do look a bit too long.
but give kylie a break, it IS the best drawing I have ever seen.
On topic: wow. Just wow.

Good job Kylie, like always.
I KNEW i forgot sumfin in the pic.. i was meaning to put it on but totally forgot whilst doing the details on the ends of it.. and thinking about lord of the rings also sorta distracts you <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> .
and i dont just draw chibis.. i do draw other things.. i actually rather drawing ralism more then chibism. just you dont see it much cus i post it all on dev art cus its not ns related.
The small details, like the hand print adds to the realism.
I think the amount of blood is just right, showing it to be more mature and realistic than when you plag in game.
A good little drawing.
Just when I thought I saw you do your best, I see this next <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
This place is sure full of surprises.
EDIT : Something I like to pick with. My usual habit in artwork frums BTW.
The marine's suit underneath the armor is well....looks a bit too tight to move in. Especially those tight pance....
Which reminds me, where's that article about marines and their tight pance?

The dudes azn! And where did the shattered parts of his armor go? (small nitpicking things). Awesome pic!
Beautiful, as allways.

Sigh... what are the skulks supposed to do when they leap on marines ? Kiss them to death ? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I really love this kind of realistic NS scenes... the picture is just perfect.
Living symbol of the dominating Kharaa feasting upon humanity , the Skulk shows an ambiguous expression - it looks stunned by the sensory flooding of the heated fight , and learns to appreciate it , reviving its predator instincts. Its perfect body sums up the goals of the Kharaa - explore , learn and crush any resistance.
Its bladed feet show how primitive their interaction with humans is , caused by the human's pretension to fight a fair duel... the marine , a perfect victim , has no choice but to engage the Kharaa in a hopeless fight as his technology fails him. His wounds show how exposed the human race is once its artificial shields are gone , whereas the skulk's wounds look meaningless.
