A short animation from Constantin, Jakob, Benno and me. I drew everything, benno and Stan made most of the animation, and Jakob some after effects. Benno did most of the post production too! It was some funny 3 days, and it was great the folks asked me to help!

While we discussed the different pros and cons of armor and clothes we started with inventing the weapons, to get new arguments.They use meleeweapons and close combat, because of the easy breachable hulls from the ships. And they dont have many ressources in space and any energy is used for more important systems, so they invented new ways to kill each other. For example an air-pressure-shrapnell-gun.
The head design was another challenge. My personel favorite was to show a face and some skin, but our level of skill at that time favored more the gasmask solution. Now is the mask not the best choice, because it is exhausted (even when it works) but its destroing somehow the impression of an astronaut. Anyway we found a good look, next to the hellghast, combine and the rest of the faceless footsoldiers.
the final mood for the presentation of the product. I got some impressions from early russian propaganda and retro-futuristic-design. The colors are reduced, to a minimum of colored light. Dark, dirty, bloody and strange.
Thats an poster which shows the designprocess. It's 100x100 cm big, looks cool in real
