Finished
The Unchained Malady: A Battle State of Mind

The battle has begun, Taldryan and Sadowans are about to engage with a new and unknown mutual threat. As the sirens whale, troops are scurrying all over the ship. “Man your Battlestations' ' is announced over comms. Troops load up in LAAT/I Gunships, fighter and bomber squadrons launch to engage. Ground assault vehicles are transported to the surface to drive the enemy from our lands and our system.

Nothing is more of an adrenalin rush or a reality check than launching into battle. For some, it's an old familiar right of passage. For some, it’s a first-time event that will be forever burned into their psyche. Regardless of your wartime status, whether you are boots on the ground or an ace in the cockpit. There is always that one moment that you go to right before the engagement starts.

Rules: Create an art piece centered around either your Main or Alt character’s vision of that place of personal harmony or brutal destruction they see in their mind’s eye just before entering a combat engagement. Whether it is the peace & serenity of a secluded beach, or to the darkness of ancient ruins. Show us what brings your character(s) into a combative state of mind.

Submissions: Submissions must be posted through the site.

Grading: This competition will be graded with the DB Graphics Grading Rubric V.2

I started with this clip from Star Wars: https://img.cinemablend.com/filter:scale/quill/e/1/b/7/7/5/e1b77591bb12a90418ff45e69473cb9685968fca.jpg?mw=600 then used gimp to add clip art cogs to represent Etah's ability to manipulate their minds and various effects to represent the visual occlusion that tends to happen before combat. It represents high blood pressure.
