looks freaking awesome

Thank you :3

Very good. Love how you did the army suit.

Heh, difficult to adapt soemthing made for humans to an anthro like me X3

Yup but you did it well. Haha that helm is just wonderfully protect the ears. And I could continue. I usually enjoy sifting different things to suit anthros. Tough my winged char makes my task even harder.

Beautiful work never the less.

Thank you =^-^=

Looks really good!

Thanks =^-^=

Hyvin käytetty tornilogo.

Oho, joku huomas XD

Hmm, Tower. The rook. Defender against harm, the watcher against danger...*nod*

Ah, ah, good one, yes :3

So... In Finland, You're sworn-in by a beautiful queen wearing a loosely-draped cloth with nothing underneath?

Neat! XD

Heh, we wish! but no, alas, Finland is a democratic republic.

Still, great image, right?

As stated by Gehena, unfortunately not...but hey, we enjoy the freedoms of a democracy :3

the EARS... and battle gear!! i wanna see more of the sitar (yea i can never spell nor remember that spelling) gear.. prehaps a battle scene with it ;)

it would be Si'itian if memory serves.

Well, the battlegear is actually an adaption of the finish gear to my fursona...so this wouldn't be theirs per se. There is a picture of si'itian current gear on my char sheet though :3

Fantastic, in all the meanings of the way !!!

Tehe, thank you =^-^=

*Nods.* Very cool.

Thank you =^-^=

Yer quite welcome.

Adam up there already pointed it out, but the rook or castle there is defence, and thats the finnish flag she's wearing, along with the classic knighting. Very symbolic and well drawn... as usual.

Oh yeah, here we go, more good points :3

Exenn has me beat it seems <_<;

but yeah, symbolism is fun so long as it's not taken too far... *stares at English class and Shakespeare books*

You were going to be infantry or some other branch? I wanted communications, but ended in light antiaircraft artillery in Oulu. Which was ok, since i have family there.. Great pic as always man.

I wanted to become a sniper, but they stuck me into the "Tukikomppania" which would basically have been Artillery 9_9 something I have absolutely no interest in whatsoever XD

Heh, i know what you mean.. i did not get into sniper training by two measly points. Would have loged that tho'. But oh well..

Bah that sucks >_> what sucks more, I never even got to live-firing

That sucks, I think I would take artillery... I like big boooms.


*BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM*


/anarchy

Let me see if I can find some of the symbolism...
The sun is just above the tower, suggesting a dawn of... something :S
Antar holds his index finger and middle finger up, maybe a "peace" sign or something else. I've seen a similar gesture made by saints in Christian tales and pictures, not sure what it means though.
The queen's (she is a queen, right?) right arm is encased in armor while the left is not. Why this is, I don't know. My best guess would be some gesture of strength.
Her eyes are also white and blue, like the Finnish flag.
The sky is sort of pink-ish and in sailor lore, if the sky is pink by day, it means a storm is brewing, if a pink sky by night, it means good weather ahead.
The sword that is being used is a masonic sword, a weapon given in the 18th and 19th century as an award for merit. It's also glowing, but again, I'm not sure why.
The lion is a symbol for courage, so that might have something to do with the picture.
A small grey spot is on the flag, not sure if that's symbolic or just a small mistake.
There, I've counted up everything I could find on the picture.
P.s. Nice picture, dude

Hmmmm, very good, very good =^-^=

The sun, the dawn, would symbolize my stepping into a new era of my life, or a new step in my life.
The middle and index finger is used as a symbol for truth, because when you swear the oath you have to hold up those two fingers to symbolize that you're swearing on yourself...(can#t really explain ti better, but I think you get the point)
Yeah, she's a queen and yes, her arm is encased in armor to symbolize the watching strong hand of the nation, so technically, the thing I would have become a part of, if they had kept me in the army X3
Eyes were unintentional, but yes, that's a good point there.
The sky is also a good point, but I wasn't actually trying either of the points, though you might argue, that it's for the trouble that becoming a soldier brings with it X3
I have to admit, I don#t quite understand your point on the sword, but that's just cuz I'm no native speaker X3
The lion is the animal depicted on the coat of arms of finland, so I chose it for that, and yes, it stands for courage and royalty.
The grey spot is a mistake X3

Thank you very much =^-^=

I musy say, this is some amazing work~

Thank you =^-^=

Incredible. Very poetic, poignant, patriotic... powerful. :X)

=^-^= Thanks

I like that helmet, well though out, Very protective but non restrictive at the same time, Might get sweaty though... unless if you... *mumble* *mumble* *mumble*

Cats don#t sweat on their heads >_>

Uhh, erk... DMAN IT!

*Ghillie suit hide*

Muhahhaha.

No voi herranjestas, miten ihmeessä olen tämän missannu? Anyway mahtava kuva kertakaikkiaan, torni, univormu, Suomi jellona ja kyllä siellä tuttu RK-95 piippu myös pilkahtaa

Ikävä kuulla, että et päässy snipuksi ja vielä ikävämpää kuulla, että sinut heivattiin ulos.
Mutta miltä se intti ny sitten maistui?

No, kyllä se maistui iha hyvältä ki...vaan tupa-koleegat oli vähä p*r*n p*rs**st*. Ei se Yliluutnanti kaan just ollu mailman mieluisin esimies, mut' ei mulla hänellä olis ollu nii hirveesti tehtävää jos ei olis tullu luokan siiros X3

Mut nii, nyt mun pitää mitetiä mitä tehä sen siaksi X3

The ritual of knighting; very nice touch with that. Even though things didn't go as planned you are very commendable for wanting to do what you can for your country.

Heh, I figure it was appropriate, even if it didn't come to that X3

To mean it does not matter that you are not still in. Your heart and soul stood ready in troubled times to me thats enough to call you comrad. Tis a shame realy it would have been a ood day if ever met ya through NATO.

I am impressed with the helmet design and the digigrade combat boots. Very functional adaptations. I'm just glad I'm not the supply sergeant for an anthro company. I can just see it now, "You want me to stock how many types of gasmasks?"

Heh, you mighta...but it wasn't meant to be that way X3

I like designing armor and stuff, so I guess I just took what I had and adapted it to what I had created. And yeah, gasmasks might be a problem

Aye, tis the truth there.

Come to think of it there were mask designs for dogs and horses in WWII. I wonder how they attained a positive seal.

You're armor designs are excellent. I almost think I'd have an easier time at my shop with that arm on the queen there than in some of my attempts to reverse engineer some museum photos.

If you ever find yourself in need of commission work I'd be honored to hang your art on my walls.

Heh, sure, I'll give you people a heads up when I have some spare time :3
