More from Strype
(Commission for 
suntattoowolf )
The dust from the impact started to clear. And from the smoke arose an armored figure, its jetpack engulfed in flames, and eyes full of cruel intent. The imposing warrior stomped towards its prey, who only moments ago managed to somehow shoot him down from the skies.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, both the dragon and the wolf raised their weapons and started dumping gunfire into the figure. The air filled with the thunderous cacophany of auntomatic gunfire and the sound of bullets ricocheting off metal and armor-grade plastic. The figure continued to stomp forward, completely ignoring the small-arms fire
"Karlyle!" the wolf barked, finally taking notice of the futility of their efforts. "Karlyle! Cease fire!"
The dragon couldn't hear her order. He was too focussed on pumping their assailant with all the ammo he had
"KARLYLE! FALL BACK!"
So, this was a pretty fun commission. Decided to splurge on the detail, cuz, hey, armor is cool, man! Plus, I really dig when clients ask to get my character involved. I really don't draw him enough.

An Anti-Materiel rifle would probably do the job. Not especially big by fantasy standards, but not many people get how horrendously powerful, say, a .50 BMG round fired from a rifle is. Certainly not if it's one of the more specialised variants; AP, one of the Sabot types, or a Mk211 Mod 0. That last one? High Explosive Incendiary/Armor Piercing Ammunition. Does everything.
Of course, Anti-Materiel rifles weigh around the region of 12kg, empty. And they're very large. Hardly practical for your standard infantryman.
I suppose a single-shot rocket launcher would be more practical for standard issue, but they don't have any.

I agree, but his armor is definitely not Kevlar or aramyd-based, but rather hard alloy and composite armor; which is probably resistant to conventional bladed weapons; now, if the blade weapon was energy-based (say, a plasma blade), it could cut through that armor more effectively, perhaps puncture the hard outer armor and into the softer armor beneath.
But that's just me assuming that's the way his armor cuit is configured.

If you can break past the initial shock that the goliath you just shot down is now pissed off and walking towards you from no closer than twenty feet away, just maybe you'll have the time to convey that understanding to your teammate without him noticing and pull it off before he steps on you.
To fight such superheavy exosuit you gotta think and move fast. Running away is futile, but running around is a better option. I bet his suit is not that fast as their exosuits. That means one of them always can outflank him or even come from behind to shoot/cut the joints to immobilise such a giant. At least they could win some time for the guy who caused such damage for the jetpack to aim and finish the deal.
Sensors everywhere, and REALLY powerful boosters all over the place, so he's a bit faster than he looks. The best way to take him down is artillery or really heavy weapons fire. He tends to panic whe nshot at with guns big enough to wreck his suit, and is the first to scramble to find cover when shit starts blowing up and he can't see from where
Hence, my comment lower in this page... Just putting yourself in a situation against Strype is stupid to begin with. lol I remember the old-ass exosuits from Starcraft having "rearview mirrors" that I would make fun of from time to time, and reading up on how unexpectedly light those marine suits are when they're fully engaged makes me think twice about laughing at those fuckers. Strype knows what he's doing with that hunk of fatal technology... I'd prefer to be the one opening the doors for him to step through. lol
Hot damn...the exquisite and sharp lineart and coloring details of the armored suits, as well as the lighting effects applied to them from the blazing fire on the middle character's equipment on his back (on the upper-right side), looks absoulutely stunning, to say the least. Awesome job, as always, on these commission pics.
You can just FEEL the hope of winning fade from your SOUL while looking at that beast. He's just taking those bullets LIKE A BOSS and doesn't even have the decency to NOTICE. He walks with such a clear purpose, radiating pure unstoppable. And the sense of dread that comes with it all! This was all so well conveyed in this image! I mean, hell! I feel like I could fire a FRIGGIN ION CANNON from SPACE at him and it wouldn't stop him. In fact...
Strype, I fire a FRIGGIN ION CANNON from SPACE at you. Does this stop you?!

The armor you draw, I don't even know where to begin. I vowed that I would draw you some day and I'm not going to break that vow. Even if it kills me.
Your values are strong. I knew exactly what was going on even through the thumbnail, which means your composition is clear and extremely effective. You broke down your values gorgeously, and it's great to see you forcing yourself to have characters interact with one another. Wings are also a bitch, but you conquered them, like the mecha suits you draw.
Do you ever block them out, or just go with the flow? You told me you just basically break down the skeleton freehand with your inks, which I think is still plain out ludicrous. You mad man. I need to train more. I want to start small and grow.

I don't often find myself rooting for the big guy, but this time...
...yeah, dude on the left is totally asking for it. One on the right isn't much better. Dual wielding pistols against power armor? Also, what kind of masochist unfurls their unprotected wings broadside to the enemy? Sure, it might present a bigger and less lethal target, but it'd be like sticking my hand in a garbage disposal.
Also, you get points for being so freaking cool even when half the equipment on your back is on fire.

I think it's pretty much impossible to NOT be partially influenced by all the various sci-fi stuff these days. Heck, most films and games are already drawing influence off of each other as is. I think it's safe to say this is definitely a very obvious removal from Space Marines and other sci-fi.
Friggin' awesome pic, too XD

There is a reason your work gets you so many favorites, and comments.
There is nothing wrong with this piece.
The composition is excellent, the visual narrative is clear and compelling. You not only have proper lighting (both directional, and object source) but you use it to your advantage. In all respects, this is simply excellent.

Now you done it you num nuts you blowed up walking thanks jet pack and make him angry now he comes after your heads.
As all ways your power and normal trooper armors are dam awesome and let not forget the characters are again well drawn and colored.
They need more than standar issue rounds to stop that behemot of walking thank.

Looks pretty awesome, this. Though I feel that the lighting used washes it out just a little, perhaps a more intense light from a single source, with stronger shadows, could have a better effect. Also curious if there's a higher resolution upload of this somewhere so folks can really dig in and appreciate all the detail you've put into this piece?
Well let me put it to you this way: The only sweet spots I can see are those joints (unless you want to take pot shots at his shoulder missiles and pray you set one off). Now, if you were to hit one with a rocket, odds are you'd dismemeber that limb and seeing as he is something of a juggernaut, you might get better results blowing a leg off and immoblizing rather than an arm and just pissing him off more
*Strype after landing and looking around* "Who send all these babies to fight?"
*Other guardsman* "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"
Goddamn do I wish I could comission you to do a sketch or something of my character Dracco. I think that honestly, out of most of the artists I know, you, or Adonis from DA could pull off the armor and physicality of the character from his description. That or I wish I could draw....period. XD Well, draw more than mechanical stuff anyways.

You see that's why you keep a portable nuclear device on oneself that is linked to your vital signs. Yes it's true that some may consider a person who would employ the use of such a device to be childish and lack a sense of fair play. But it is assured that you'll nary find a man willing to wager with 50 megatons and when you eventually do find one, you can at least feel confidant that while you might not win, your opponent surely will not.
this is so awsome, thinking about how they could survive is tough, retreat is pretty much out of the question unless they can telaport. maby if they shot his missiles it could explode and hurt him so they could run away. but that might kill them too. your character is so big youd need a tank to kill him!
Thousand years behind, the gloom covers year
Glories are hidden great days in darkness for ever
Light of human souls among infinite night
In whirlwinds varp storm, as if a candle flame
But hearts that else fight in a breast haven't cooled down
The mission is remembered by children of the Earth
And the Universe will meet again their new rising
The flame will fill in heavens and the Emperor will come
The galaxy burns on fire, stars in height flare
Empire forges the world in sacred war
Fire the firmament again will flash and will lead people forward
That will call a heavenly voice In the GREAT CRUSADE
Terra bulletins bear a word and the new law
Each lost world will be returned back
The real truth the reason cold stores a precept
Brad of superstitious fools nowadays is forgotten for a long time
Servants of false gods, kseno's faithful dogs
Those who couldn't save the spirit from fatal lie
Only fire and a sword it is possible for them to open eyes
Ashes to dispel on a wind, damage to eradicate
Counter to all enemies, following destiny threads
To the purpose great wages a way through a war hearth
And though days to come were hidden by an artful haze
But will swing open akvil two snow-white covered

Upon inspecting th situation, here are my options:
1.Focus fire on face,
2.Weakspot between the breast plate and paludron or neck, (suggest matter-disruptive weapon,like Power Sword)
3.Backpac's exaust ports, target with explosive weapons (RPG's, grenades...)
4.Drop something bigger on its head.
5.Striking the head with strong blunt weapon (thunderhammer, powerfist), bshing it down into the chest.
6.180 degree spin and run.
