Guns a Blazin'

MERC: "ONSLAUGHT"

{submission vinyl toy concept for Cute Animal & Warriors contest for Patch Together }

info: 

Psst...wanna know a secret? This tortoise ain't slow! It's only an illusion. But if you want to play the slow card, Onslaught is very good at delaying the inevitable. An elusive mercenary with nothing to lose, he comes out with guns blazing and well...have you seen his shiny blade? Don't catch your reflection against it! Or you might just be the next tally on his indestructible shell!

alter ego: testudo sicarius  {tortoise assassin}

messing around in photoshop and just drew on a helmet and a shield...as if he was a Roman Legionnaire. back in the day, a testudo formation  was used during warfare...in which the soldiers would form a tightly knit group with their shields up, forming a "shieldwall" covering (front, sides, and top) for the entire unit resembling a tortoise shell. virtually impenetrable.  great concept that i was excited to somehow portray on my guy. :)
