Finally finished drawing the soldiers for my comic. They’ve already appeared in my comic but I was never 100% satisfied with them so I decided to really solidify the design and equipment they have.
Give it three years and our normal soldiers look like that.
no camouflage on the helmet?
no black oxide on the gun?
why are their ears covered?
The earpro is very similar to modern active hearing protection, specifically the Opscore AMP. Why would it be weird for a Sci-Fi soldier to have their ears covered?
the third one was a genuine question
They appear to be like a headset used for radio communication, possibly also sound amplification/active cancelling.
Purely aesthetics reasons
