Description: A wide shot of "Tape" (whose reference isn't on the public space as of writing) taking on the shape of Vex (an anthro Stealth Tank mk III), but far, FAR rounder than him. Tape is quite stuck, in fact, with their arms jutting outwardly, and their belt clutching their chest quite tightly. Tape is in a state of shock, as it were, a platform to their own self, with spotlights seemingly coming from their own body as a way to highlight their form. Vex, on the other hand, seems to have gotten some locomotion back, using his right hand to poke at his swollen doppelganger, the claw bending backwards that would be impossible in his natural form, while the left side of his body seems to be limp, his claws leaning gently on the ground. All of his weight seems to be spent holding that right hand of his up. Contrast to Tape, he seems to blend into the background a bit better, his face cast in shadow, betrayed only by his eye. Vex: "I don't know who you are. Or why you're trying to copy me." Vex: "But you really couldn't have picked a better time in the Two Universes to pull this stunt." Vex: "Come on. I'm showing you the full goddamned suite." Two small highlights in the background include a Tiberium field and a Refinery behind Tape (alongside the aforementioned spotlights), whilst behind Vex is an Obelisk of Light, some SAM Site platforms, and an Air Tower. ------------------------- Artist's Note: This was fun. *REALLY* fun. Still haven't opened comms to the public yet on account of the uncertainty of my drawing capabilities, but the wrist brace seems to have helped me get the endurance needed back for these kinda images. The lighting is slightly nonsensical, but in this case it was done to be symbolic kinda. Someone mentioned the way I drew Vex's face in shadow as an extension of his "Stealth Tank" capabilities. It wasn't intentional, the shadow was moreso for emoting's sake, but damn if that didn't get me thinking about lighting again. Final Time: 12h11m
A comm for @moffballoon.bsky.social! Featuring Vex, Tape, and a whoooooooooole lotta deja vu. Maybe there's something to finding a copy of yourself out in the wild if that copy came with your debuff.
