Albion Ranger Concepts [doodle]
Terrible anatomy all around, but this is more just me bashing through concepts for a couple of hours than making any serious attempt at art.
You may have seen me upload things like this and this of late. What I've not mentioned to many folks is that there's a backstory behind that. The accelerated version is: in 2277 AD, the colony ship SS Gallahad makes a crash landing on a habitable moon named Albion, chances of repair or recovery are zero, the world is strange and bizarre, technology only sometimes works due to strong magnetic fields and over the generations the colonists have slowly spread across the surface of the world, encountering a small number of alien species and learning about a pervasive energy that offers almost magical abilities to anyone who can learn to tap into it - and it is now 200 years later.
The short of THAT is that I reckon I can retcon my mageranger team into this world, with minimal modifications, and a few rather cool bonuses such as fantastic landscapes and the odd piece of ancient technology. The population as a whole does not have the ability to create such things anymore, so what's out there is both powerful and valuable.
The rangers have always played the role of 3rd line security force - they're a backup to the police, more specialised than the military, and in this possibility, enhanced by both a quasi-magical energy known as the Light of Albion, and the ancient technology that their organisation has managed to acquire.
Ideas I'm floating for the team here:
Leoric, light scout, now kitted with jump boots and shock absorbers in addition to air magic.
Amethyst, "tank", shield glove and earth/water magic, specialising in deflecting and absorbing attacks.
Raven, light fighter, dual wielding laser welders - which happen to make damn fine daggers.
Alyssa, team leader, firemage, and all around brawler, now equipped with infra red visor giving night vision and some indication of where to hit her targets for maximum effect.
And a holographic data pad, since our faithful reporter seems unlikely to go away and we might as well make use of him properly.
I'm just playing with the concept for now, but let me know what you think of the idea. I think it'll be great fun to work with from an artist's point of view since it's something I generally don't work with, but it may just turn into a ridiculous mismash of concepts that generally don't work xD
