This is the first completed illustration from the reboot of my Female Soldier series.
The character, uniform, and tactical equipment were painted mainly with transparent watercolor, while the full side-view study of the H&K HK433 was rendered in opaque watercolor/gouache to create clearer shapes, materials, and mechanical details.
My goal was to combine the natural texture of traditional media with a character-and-equipment presentation inspired by game concept art.
Which part do you prefer—the character design or the HK433 study?
This is an unofficial original illustration created for artistic study.
