Hey Everyone, I recently completed illustrations for (2) new Splicers O.C.C.s (Metamorph & Swarmlord) in the latest Rifter#51 published by Palladiumbooks. This issue can be purchased directly through Palladiumbooks:

Splicers Guru, Chris ‘Slappy” Kluge & I developed this concept together and it was a ton of fun seeing this concept come to life. The Metamorph is one of the illustrations where I did illustrations for its 15 various forms. I decided to upload several more of the (15) forms, as I don’t want to give away everything.

The experimental Biotic variation known as the Metamorph is an attempt to augment human beings with the awesome power of Bio-Technology without forcing them to permanently surrender their humanity. The idea was that the subject would retain his human/her form and physiology when interacting with civilians back at home, but before entering the field, they would be able to quickly transform their body into a powerful Bio-Tech war machine. Metamorphs can assume various forms, some are larger than their human forms, and some are smaller. Watching a Metamorph transform into a larger form is somewhat disgusting, but witnessing one transform into a smaller creature is truly horrifying.

The Heavy Assault Walker form is a 1200lb walking cannon, literally. It truly is just a massive Bio-Tech cannon mounted on two powerful legs. It has no head, no arms, no real torso to speak of; it just consists of the cannon, an Organic Rocket pod mounted on each side of it, a sensor pod attached to the top, and four tentacles mounted on the hips that each end in a devouring maw. The main gun is an Omega Cannon that can obliterate enemies from an impressive distance. The rocket pods can engage targets from nearly any angle, but they too are meant to bombard enemies from afar. The only weapons that are meant for close quarters combat are the Devouring Tentacles. These tentacles are used to defend the Metamorph from enemies that get too close as well as for nourishment. All things considered, the heavy assault form is one of the least natural looking creatures the Librarians have ever come up with.

I'm a huge fan. I imagine a graphic novel, featuring these type of morphed humanoids, which is illustrated by you and written perhaps by someone else and just how awesome it would be :-D
