XCOM Operatives have a tough job. Day in, and day out, they have to face impossible odds as ADVENT tries to squash them. Unfortunately, something will inevitably go wrong, and operatives will have to be left behind on a mission. However, through the efforts of the resistance network, this team tracked down their team-mate to an ADVENT facility, and opted for a Blow-and-Go rescue operation. Karata, the team leader, made the door, and Alexis had her Gremlin use its nano-medkit to try and make it easier on Junn as Arcten went in and made the extraction. As Arcten pulled Junn out, Karata called the Skyranger and placed the beacon close to minimize the extraction time.

This is the result of the YCH I hosted on FA, and oh boy was this a tough piece to work on. It took 167 layers, and dozens of folders to complete. Admittedly, I should've had this finished a few days ago, but... well... depression sucks. On a happier note, this is the debut image of Karata Nuvari, my new Utahraptor character based on my Utah in The Isle. I'll be working on a full ref sheet for him over the weekend, but needless to say, I did enjoy coming up with him.

Anyway, if you like images like this, please remember that I am open for commissions. You can also support me on Patreon for as little as $1 per month.
