UIR Artwork needed

[adio38]

Hello. So like you all, I am a big fan of the Gears of War universe. I am studying Computer Animation and Game Design. I am focusing on Character and Environmental modeling. I am currently being work on my Senior project or Capstone is what my school calls it. For my capstone I want to do a small animation, almost like a movie preview. I was originally going to do a few characters that I would make up that would fit into the COG. However, after talking to one of my instructors, I figured it would be a good idea to do the UIR. I would like any artwork that any of you may have on the UIR's Armor. I want to make the characters I do seem rugged and like they have been through something. I understand that the UIR Armor is different than the COG, and I am having a hard time finding images of them. So if any of you could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for anybody who helps me. I will also love to keep this updated and show you guys what I am doing. Thanks again.

Adio

There, that should do. I tried to give you ones with multiple shots of the side, front, back ext.

Nice, thanks. So Im asking you guys for some input. I want to have a few soldiers with their helmets off, kinda like Dom, and Fenix do. But will that make them resemble the cog? Or as long as I keep with the UIR armor, it should look right.

The COG come from Tyrus, which seems like a multicultural nation, hence why you have Caucasian (Marcus, Baird), Asian (Kim), Black (Cole, Jace), Latino (Dom) and even Maori/Samoan (Tai) style characters. The UIR are more of an unknown. However the political leader of Pelles, one of the main UIR nations, is referred to as Premier Yori Deschoenko, which sounds Eastern European or Russian. It all depends on what you feel is right for you, but if it were me personally? I'd definitely try to give them a unique look, make them seem different to the COG. I'd make them all Spetsnaz! :p

That's an old one. Before Gears two was released, it was posted under the 'Time line' section, under Pendulum Wars on the main Gears two site.

Oh adio, I agree with Boss. You can pull it off, and if you make your own unique faces, based around areas of the world that have yet to take part in Gears, then it should work. Go with a European look, or even an Asian mixture in there.

Even though the UIR have little to no information, one thing you can do is create your own for the characters. Though just remember that, they are the democracy in this game. Their ideals and politics are more of the democracy, while the COG are a dictatorship/socialist regime.

^ That above should add into the stereotypical look as well. (On the armor look and whatnot.)

that does help a lot thanks guys. Wish there was some way to get somebody to draw me up some concept art *hint hint* lol. I will work on it. Thanks again. As for the heads, I really am into the gears universe. I am actually going to model my own head into the body. Ill post stuff when I get something drawn up.

Alright, let's see them once you get started. Good luck man, look forward to seeing those.
