This is a quick illustration I had done recently. After taking a
fencing class I wanted to incorporate my new found knowledge of proper
fencing stances into my sci-fi/fantasy work. The female fighter is
striking at the male opponent with a lunge while he defends with parry
#8.
I decided to apply this new knowledge to what the future
Olympics would be like. Which obviously would be involve jet pack feet
and matches in the sky. I also based their new full body armor upon the
current fencing uniforms. While there are some significant changes you
can see great similarities in the torso armor, as well as gloves and
masks.
You may also notice that the fighters are from German and
Italy respectively. I did this as homage to the 2008 Olympic games. For
they represent the female individual epee winner Britta Heidemann and
men's individual epee winner Matteo Tagliariol.
As always the finish is done in Corel Painter.
