UPDATE - made the effects a little less visible, so details won't get lost
Random VHS look because I thought it was faking cool while I was arsing around with it with Nimtai
But yiss, space snakes rule! -w-
I actually started this pic almost a year ago, and went through a dozen versions, first, it included a shark, then added the snake girl, then i redesigned the suits, then turned the shark into a cobra - Feranta's Aahnaye <3 - then I changed her pose, THEN I changed the background as well, but heyy, they look lovely me thinks.
So yeah, Captain Ada and Second Lieutenant Aahnaye of the Odraani, overseeing the boarding of an Allied cargo ship; not much left to be done, the cannon fodders took care most of the opposition; the to earn the reward for someone else's hard work.
The Odraanian species are adapted to higher oxygen levels and atmospheric pressures, so they require protective gear when venturing outside their planets, space, stations and vehicles. However, being less advanced than the other nations, their gear is heavy and bulky, making the vulnerable; thus avoid close-quarter-battles when possible.
The weapons they are wielding work on a similar principal; high-speed heated copper, although neurotoxins and other toxic agents are favoured as well.
- for the background I reffed Fallout 4 screenshots this time -
- PaintTool SAI 1.1.0
- VHS thingy was added in PS -

Looks great! Though I will say that it does seem more like scuba gear as opposed to space gear (at least I presume this was on a space ship) but still, very nice. Like the VHS effect.
I will say that I like the neat little tidbit about their planets and ships having higher oxygen content. I'm no biologist, but I do appreciate it when different space-faring species have different biological requirements, even if they're small details.

Ah thank you! Yeah, I wasn't aiming for a realistic approach, but more of an clunky it-works-so-why-bother approach on their side; so I took some ideas from a deep water diver's gear; such as multiple tanks, external hoses, regulators, etc for a more old school look + it's more fun to draw that :3
Yiss, exactly! Allows more varied designs even in the same scenario c:

Ahahaha yisss! Am so freakin happy to hear that! <333
I'm glad you like the colours, was a bit worried due to the lack of a huge, varied colour scheme, but I guess it works in this scenario? o-o Military gear isn't known for being so colourful, and it's space so camo is very useful ... wait.
... ofc I included her, silly, she has an awesome looks! - totes not hoping you'll draw her -
<3

Ah, they don't really care about improving their equipment; if it ain't broke, don't fix it! .. and they are too proud to adapt foreign tech o-o
Hahah yeah, she was a bit of challenge; how to change her gear/respirator to work a cobra's hood, so I simply moved her breathing apparatus to the front to make room for it.

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but damn is this a work of art. I especially love the "vhs" effect, makes it seem like they are being shown on a security camera that has seen better days, makes the whole scene seem to take place in a lived-in world, sort of like the original Alien.
