Lycans: Harnessing the raw power of Lycan state these operators work together in groups to be effective. Working in pairs they help each other maintain their focus so as not to lose control and potentially harm their own team. While technology/methodology helps control them their true strength comes from their pack and the bonds between each member.

From the top, left to right:

1: Alpha. Team leader. Issues commands, maintains their team, and leads by example. Incredibly strong and has mastered the Lycan state.

2: Huntsman. New Lycans. Useful in all situations. Tough, strong, and reliable. Teams can further specialize in to specific roles.

3: Goliath. Heavy weapons team. Able to bring rotary gatling guns, autocannons, and small artillery Goliath teams are a force to be reckoned with.

4: Seeker. Counter snipers, scouts, and trackers. Seekers push ahead quietly eliminating threats and gathering recon.

5: Veterinarian. A specialized medic able to work with Lycan physiology. Heals injured comrades and can remove gravely wounded team members from the operation zone to safety.

6: Arcane. Lycan battle mage. A rare breed of Lycan able to harness magic and the elements. Powerful in their own right and highly sought after.

7: Feral. Berserker. Unable to revert to human form Ferals are used to sow chaos and destruction. Highly regulated with transformation serum they fight in a drug induced haze.

8: Retainer. Team tracker. Maintains other Lycans through use of transformation serum to regulate their state. If need be they can revert a Lycan back to their human form if they become dangerous to other team members. Not glamourous but very important.

And finally the sketches i used to get to the final images.

Reupload of my WIP animation for @htromak‘s Solaire mech model!

This was a lot of fun to animate I just wish I didn’t accidentally tag a porn-blog instead of htromak. WHOOPS.

[lno9]

Added the ability to multi select points, if you hold the SHIFT key, or dray along the PointBar in the shape tray.
