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 spider form is a size one form; the absolute smallest size that a Metamorph can reach. This form has rudimentary combat abilities, but it is mainly used for spying, escape, or to gain access to difficult locations. It is roughly twice the size of a house cat (so it is not exactly invisible), but it can scale any surface or squeeze through openings about half its size, which enables it to pierce the toughest security. The downside of size one forms is that they cannot be enhanced with most Bio-Weapons. Only small weapons like Fire Weapons or Super Light Cells can be equipped. Large firearms with an obvious gun barrel like Bore Rifles or Casting Cannons will not work at all.
