Proteus Art - Hellions Technical

Well, you have seen the first piece of art and now its time to introduce the Hellions.

Proteus Art - Hellions

In the darkest period of the Thousand Year War, the Alliance and the Apeyron were in stalemate, neither side capable of putting end to this circle of insanity.

As the two great enemies, the Aemon and Archals finally put aside their differences they embarked on a secret project. Both races knew the truth, that while heroes are forged in the fires of war, heroes would not be the one who would win the war.

To do that, you needed villains. Monsters without morality, without conscious and without mercy.

As Proteus worked on the Starlance Weapons platform, a planet killer designed to be the ultimate deterrent, the Aemon and the Archals took the Proteus genetic archive and in secret created their own weapons. Twisting the Proteus Genome, bastardising it they created the Hellions, the first true male Proteus Warships.

Bloodthirsty and ruthless, the Hellions were everything these two ancient races had hoped for. Freed of the morality of their creators, this offshoot of the Proteus family tipped the scales giving them the upper hand. However their arrival strained the Alliance to its core, Proteus unable to control their new brothers and in the end they were banished, forbidden from entering the war, not that it stopped them.

Then things changed. The Hellions had made an impact on the war, forcing the Apeyron in to deeper darkness as the Archals homeworld of Arisal was destroyed in retaliation ending another of the great races of the Empire.

It is not surprising that at this point of the war everyone was focused on this atrocity rather than something that would come to light much later. Emperor Razon had been rumoured to have left Apeyra on a mission to save the Empire, and at almost the same time the Hellions disappeared. Neither Razon or the Hellions were ever seen again.

In dark whispers around the alliance it was rumoured that Grand Council Servay had made a deal with the devil, sending Novak and his team of brigands after the Emperor to cut the snakes head off and end the war. Even if this was true, the war did not end, the fight growing desperate and vicious.

It is still the one mystery that nobody ever revealed though. What was the fate of Emperor Razon and the Hellions that were sent to hunt him down and kill him?

Proteus Art - The Future that Never Was

There was a future, one where a simple mistake led to hell for the whole galaxy. It started with the destruction of Beletrix, home of the Alphians by their own hand as their scientific curiosity got out of control. This then sent the Emperor of the Apeyron insane as he mourned the loss of his son and set the Apeyron in to Civil war, one that spilled out to the rest of the galaxy.
Earth, Dendritia, Arisal and other worlds were wiped out in what became known as the Thousand Year War.
At the heart of the Apeyrons war efforts were fleet of Harbinger class ships, planet killers and the only force to stand in their way was an allience between Proteus and the Aemon.

This is the last stand of Arisal as the Harbinger closes in for the kill. Vexa, Grand Arbiter of the Proteus fleet tries desparately to save the world before its destruction.
(Merry Christmas Everyone!)

Sneak Peak - Proteus Future Imperfect Saga (Artwork)

As usual, I have been busy although behind the scenes and its time to introduce seven new Proteus ships that will make their debute in the Future Imperfect Saga.

So without futher ado...

Rather proud of these lot although I have a few favourites in Vexa and Kreyo.
Needless to say one of these ships is the anti hero of the Future Imperfect Saga and perhaps could be considered to be the villain of the story. Needless to say this is almost the opposite to Proteus Evolution as we get a snapshot in to the Future that Never was.

Sighs... only 20 more books to write before I get to Future Imperfect...

Proteus Art - The War Doctor

 

Another sneak peak art wise at another new character that will be introduced in the Proteus Future Imperfect Saga.

This is Servey and she is something else all together.

Technically classified as a Super Titan, Servey is near enough 5 kilometers long, a true leviathan. She is a carrier ship capable of acting as a mobile starbase and medical facility for other members of her family. She is of such a scale and mass she is actually incapable of going down to planets as the gravity would kill her.

Servey has 6 docks in her abdomen capable of accepting all other Proteus ships and to give an idea of scale, the ship next to her is a Titan. These Docks offer full medical and repair facilities to tend to the wounded. In addition Servey comes as a package. She has Io and Callisto, two heavily armed Proteus Warships as her protectors and her personal assistant, little Bix. Servey requires another support ship to help her jump due to her size and Bix fulfils that role.

Proteus Art - The Last Transmission

This is the last transmission of the Apeyron shipyard Gallor Sigma, destroyed over 40,000 years ago in what was called a terrible accident.

For the Apeyron of that time, this dark ship was utterly alien and is believed to have attacked the starbase resulting in the loss of over 1300 souls.

Don't judge me, but this image is from the Proteus Future Imperfect Saga (Books 14, 15 and 16) which are currently being written....

I know... I still have books 10, 11, 12 and 13 to write and release... sometimes though I get an idea which won't stay quiet

I am hoping to get a new book out by Christmas, so keep watching.

Enjoy!
