Space Gladiator

I think I am getting better at digital art. The left hand and sword is a a bit wonky. Tried colouring, it looked like shit so I gave up. I still have to make a fair work but I like it with the rough sketches in the bg has a sort of feel to it.

Kaidan WIP time!

The biotic barrier creaked around him. It wouldn't have taken many more blows before falling down. Kaidan gritted his teeth with exertion and took cover. The hurried retreat raised a puff of dust and gravel that betrayed his new position. Damn. He cursed under his breath. The last two opponents were hiding behind the same near crate, alternating their shooting rounds, up and down. Their coordination gave him very few choices of action. Kaidan checked the remaining bullets in his heavy pistol and closed his eyes for a brief moment. There weren’t many left. He took a deep breath, inhaling more dust than oxygen. Now or never. The biotic opened his eyes again and briefly glanced at his targets. They hadn’t moved from their safe position yet. Good. His biotic barrier flared up once again, embracing him with a surge of static energy. Holding his breath, he threw a singularity towards the man that was shooting at him, certain to attract both of them into its gravitational field. Too impatient to wait to see if he’d hit the target, Kaidan hastily started running in their direction. He leaped over the crate, jumping right between the two, now confusingly floating, men. They didn't even have the time to realize he was there. With a smirk, Kaidan released the new barrier in a biotic explosion that knocked them both out. They continued to float in the air like that, unconscious and defeated, for a few more seconds. When the biotic singularity vanished, they hit the hard and dusty ground with a satisfying thud. Kaidan released the air trapped in his lungs with a long sigh.  He had won. “With an incredible high score of 5100 points in a solo match Alenko is once again the winner!” The powerful voice of the speaker filled the arena, covering most of the exulting noises from the audience on the bleachers. Their enthusiasm and loud cheers didn’t hearten him: he knew well that they weren’t for him, a filthy human biotic. No, that joy was simply due to the amount of money that his victory had granted to the people who had the audacity to bet on him. Many gladiators would have saluted their audience like an actor on the stage at the end of a play, but not Kaidan. He left the fake battlefield without uttering a word, exhausted to the bone.

Okay, I know, there’s no Shepard here. But he is in this AU fic that I’m plotting, I swear. In this story Kaidan never joined the Alliance, he’s something like a space gladiator, there’s no reapers and Shepard is dealing with some spectre business, when they meet. Also, biotics are so hated by human society. SO hated.

I’m trying my best to write it down in English, but I’m afraid that the result is not ideal. Sadly, English is not my native language, I’m so sorry.

Still, I hope you enjoy this little wip a little bit!

Renegade Soundwave - Space Gladiator.

Although probably better known to the dance fraternity for 'The Phantom' on the flip side, Renegade Soundwave were also responsible for tracks like this with a more industrial, punk inspired sound.

Check out their 'Soundclash' and 'In Dub' albums from '89 and '90 for some proper bass heavy, dubby, breakbeat tunes.
