Fipps Ferus

Description

An old original character of mine updated a fair bit.

Fipps Ferus (originally called Clydes Dale) was originally to appear in an old project of mine, Tim tō Tom: Revival. He was a Spire Inland celebrity, hosting a guest lecture on "Defend Yourself from An All-Out Assault! Don't Wait a Second, Men!" (a bit of a bad pun on the American Second Amendment) in response to demons attacking the anthro-populous country and Tim and Tom struggling to keep on top of the situation. Fipps proposes that the Critters take up his firearms (originally, these were meant to be modern-day guns, but was later altered to sci-fi mecha-style supersuits - Spire Inland was written to be quite medievalist) but gets possessed and ends up being hospitalised. He returns right at the end of the saga with a "Mark II" version of his suit - forcing everyone to rethink their stance on a total firearms ban.

I guess writing Fipps was my way of coming to terms with stuff, as I've had to be a bit more open-minded on firearms (and in turn, First-Person Shooters).

I think this took me around an hour and a half, as I was half-watching Superman Returns (I was trying to be open-minded and drop my anti-Superman-being-worshipped-as-a-false-god stance).

Here's thinking of you, :icondemon-without-horns: (the suit was inspired by Crackdown 2 - you got me too curious about its concept, darn it!).

Enjoy this last one for August.

P.S. Fipps came from the acronym for First Person Shooter, Ferus comes from the Latin for horse, full title Equus ferus caballus)

Nice. The weapon's shading is flatter so it looks as if in a different light.
