Lothar in the Wasteland

Fullsize: link

My attempt at backlighting and poses I haven’t done before.

This is when I wish I could animate. T___T The deck they’re using is so shitty that when Sevino throws Lothar into the wall, the crumbling rocks have grid lines flash over them as they break off and hit the ground. Would have been so cool *shakes fist in frustration*

So anyway, on Lothar’s second day with ESKE he convinces Genar to let him play with a cyberdeck. It’s only a test run to see if his jacks were damaged so he figures if he can’t do anything impressive now ESKE will release him. He lies—saying they’re running slower but like usual, Sevino’s well timed, arrogant remarks (about Lothar’s Oneiroi jacks being too sluggish for all the hype they receive) pisses him off and he takes the bait. Lothar chooses the simulation scenery to mimic the wastelands outside Akheron. Sevino selects the weaponry. The firearm command is locked—blades only >3
