More military-themed art from 2015, featuring Rollo, fully dressed for a change!
I Figured I should actually draw him in full battle gear at least once.
Because, you know, he's actually an average soldier of average aptitude and average competence.

Thanks! He's normally a bit of a klutz but he's actually a totally average soldier otherwise.
The mix of "modern" and "futuristic" is a look I like. I've seen this sort of thing described as "20 minutes into the future" before, this idea of taking what is current and modern, but advancing it just a bit in a futuristic and science-fiction direction, to where it's believable and familiar but also more advanced and fantastical.
If you've ever found the HUD (heads-up display) in a shooting game helpful, with its objective markers, ammo counters, and so on, that's sort of what that little lens is meant to provide for the soldiers, and it's paired with a radio so he can communicate with the rest of his squad verbally as well. It's practically a prototype, though, and they don't see wide usage in-universe because they are expensive to produce, a bit bulkier than other communications devices, and tend to get broken in the field. But for training purposes, they come in handy because they let the wearer keep track of their ammunition, position, the location of their squad mates, and where their objective is--just like a video game.
