Time to give the Marines a little love...
Added 2025-08-31 16:23:20 +0000 UTCThe Scuba series is starting to take shape now- at least the pre-battle scene-setting. As you can see, I've a database of files now all organising the set-up renders into different comic strips, four of which are now done. The black-clad divers have had a lot of love- now it's time to give their opponents a bit of personality.
One of the narrative devices I want to use at the beginning of the fight is a security console where the defenders can realise that they're under attack and raise the alarm. This one has a generic, underground lair-themed bank of security cameras, so I've posed ceiling-level scenes of various locations within the base and compiled them using GIMP into a replacement screen.
It's little details like this that help tell the story and set the scene properly. I need to put some more detail into the other screens, finish dressing the Moon Pool up with greebles, and pose the off-duty guards around the barracks.
