Actually, when I was doing a design document for Deagle's Fall, the character inspired by you, Boldy, was going to be essentially the equivalent of a berserk unit. The general gist is that most of the Desert Eagles were a merc unit that got stranded when Chessboard, to control a viral outbreak started by fifth column, nuked a city in the middle east. The Deagles helped evacuate the civilians and now are currently trying to figure out a way to expose Chessboard. the whole thing was as a "what if" scenario fanwork, with the player able to take the role of a Chessboard operative or a new Deagle recruit. The Deagle units were conventional military, mostly armed with obsolescent (but still powerful) weaponry, outfitted for different roles. Hazard Team units, for example, would carry chemical/incendiary weapons. The unit the Boldy analogue was from (Agent Sierra) was going to be a team equipped with heavy armor, close-combat weaponry, and combat drugs. Their whole thing was that they're dangerous enough normally, but when hopped up on combat stims can basically ignore being shot (their HP still goes down, but they won't die until the effect ends). Ironically, despite their use of such chems, they're pretty chill outside of combat, and were implemented specifically after the Skulls (under a Tyce analogue) went rogue and seperated from the Deagles.
. . .You. . .made me a character? I vaguely remember you mentioning Deagle Falls, but you gotta fill me in on the details.

"HOLY FUCK JAIMAS I FEEL GREAT"
"Boldy, you're, uh. . .bleeding. Like, a lot."
"YEAH THAT HAPPENS ONE WEEK A MONTH I'M USED TO IT"
I was so super excited by this prospect that I tried doing some Kiwi character designs. But then it turned into a dumb doodle comic with @Jaimas , me, & special guest @Smutley :Deagle's Fall, a little game design document I did for essentially asking the question: "How would I do a follow-up that addresses Revolution 60's narrative problems?" Centered around an area of activity that was nuked by Chessboard (and blamed on Fifth Column) earlier, but a Mercenary unit sent in to evac citizens - against Chessboard's orders - did so and survived, now living in the bombed-out ruined cityscape. Whilst simply trying to survive and keep order in an area that otherwise would've been wiped the fuck out, a Desert Eagle new recruit (the player in the Deagle campaign) discovers that (A) that Chessboard actually nuked the city, and (B) that a mysterious third party was working on a way to break Chessboard's stranglehold by developing a virus specifically designed to target and kill their AI.
Some of this research survived, and when it's found by the Deagle Scout, the mercs fight a desperate battle to complete the Virus research, steal a Chessboard Astronav and access codes, get the virus into one of the major platforms. Because the AIs are synchronized, introducing the virus to one of the larger platforms could, for a time, shut down the defense networks of almost all of Chessboard's platforms for a time - long enough for the UN to rustle up pretty much every member country and destroy the fucking things so humanity could take Space back.
The Chessboard campaign centered instead upon the AI sending an operative (the player) trying to recover and destroy the data, killing off the Deagles' command structure in the process. Both cases were to end with the last boss of the main scenario being the protagonist of the other. In addition to these, there were two smaller factions: The Skulls, a former Deagle unit that Commander Stryker kicked out and have since become lawless marauders preying on the defenseless, and a few Fifth Column remnants.
In both cases of the bigger examples, however, the opposition they show one another marks them both as threats in their own right. The Deagles are morally in the right, but having been driven to desperation, their methods are anything but elegant. The Deagle Hazard Teams, for example, are using chemical weapons and flamethrowers because those bypass Chessboard Nanite protections, and won't think twice about using radiation, poison, or fire to kill Chessboard operatives. The Deagles have units like the Berserkers, intended as shocktroopers and linebreakers, because they're willing to do anything to survive. Chessboard is in the wrong morally, but that's not clear to the player initially - the Desert Eagles simply look like more terrorists, probably in line with Fifth Column, and arguably a threat to the remaining civilians. One of the bad ends may or may not have involved a SpecOps: The Line-esque moment where the Chessboard player does a bad thing, but I never really got that far as far as the design premise went.
I try to mix my art up traditionally and digitally, so here's a mini grab-bag.

And some recent ones...
I'd say that at the moment, proportions and perspective are my biggest weaknesses depending on which pose/dynamic angle I'm going for, given the situation that's playing out in my head as I plan things out. Comments and advice are always appreciated! I'm not afraid to go full Dobson on trolls; donate to my Patreon plz kthanksbai
CW: VIDEO GAME AUTISM
So a while ago @Jaimas talked about his idea for a game in the Brianna Wu thread, a Deagle Nation-themed thing set in the Rev60 universe. It came up because I mentioned wanting to do a redesign of Wu's characters & replace them with lady Kiwis (or really, Kiwis in general). I made a joke about wanting to be a futuristic space berserker, & this happened.

I wanted to post it in the Wu thread, but it's only tangentially related. It's also really, really dumb.
EDIT: I made the insignia as a joke during the first Sluthate "raid," when they described the Farms as "some sort of Pokemon feminist forum."
While it's not as common, I posted a non-digital art a few posts up, so physical stuff is allowed. It's just scanned in using my printer. Great water color work though!Not sure if physical stuff is allowed but I've been messing around with watercolors lately in my significant other's sketchbook. Thought I'd share.
