Description

A Concept drawing of a traditional Elemental Representation of Air Warrior, albeit in a more modern twist or perhaps, futuristic twist.

Made for the Elemental Contest by Cassy-Blue :iconcassy-blue: with the aim to draw and portray art piece depicting elements/elemental of traditional elemental or more fancy chemistry.

Inspired by the music: www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5HBuZ… - Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan) OST - EMA


Perhaps to those of you looking at this drawing, you'd be wondering how this could relate to the traditional portrayal of "air", especially when it comes to the usual depiction of Air as elemental magic. The most common image would perhaps be the Air goddess, or bird, or flying creatures with the power to control the flow of air, summon hurricane/storm, levitating here and there with powerful magic and summons. :)

Well you see, I'm pretty unimaginative and boring when it comes to fantasy elements, especially when it comes to magical elements. Of course, Magic as often depicted, violates the law of conservation of energy, in which, Energy+Mass in = Energy+Mass Out. So when a magician pops out fire spell out of thin air, where does that energy come from?  So, rather than the traditional magical portrayal of Female Magician/Wizard/Summoner with elemental power of Air, I decided to draw a rather futuristic female warrior which harness the power of Air to the maximum. :D

Depicted here, is a futuristic Female Warrior equipped with a futuristic Pneumatic Air Cannon which utilizes rapid volatile decomposition of Xenic Acid (Noble gas Compund) to produce the Gas pressure needed to propel the Ammunition. The Air Cannon itself is designed to propel and launch a compact Thermobaric bomb, a type of explosive which utilizes surrounding oxygen to generate intense, high-pressure explosion more powerful than that of conventional explosives. On top of that, she also has numerous EMP Grenade at her disposals, which uses rapid electro-magnetization of Noble Gas to create EMP shockwave that can disturb communication network.

Apart from that, No Air warrior is complete without the ability to fly. Several propulsion method have been designed to cater the need for "Air elements". Monopropellants such as Hydrazine (N2H4) or HTP Hydrogen Peroxide (all composed of Nitrogen, Hydrogen and/or Oxygen) can be used. A much more sinister fuel would be Unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (1,1-dimethylhydrazine) and it's oxidizer, Nitrogen Tetroxide, to create a much more powerful thrust. This combination of fuel could also be used for Flame-based weaponary. which produces a longer and higher burning temperature than napalm, as well as creating highly toxic fumes which could result in sever organ failure or instant death.

All of the Chemical compounds mentioned above consist of elements which could be found in Air, such as Nitrogen and Oxygen, as well as those that exists in abundance in air like Noble Gas, Hydrogen and Carbon (in compounds like Carbon dioxide)

However, given that the cost to research and produce the technology and material required for the this AIR warrior is very expensive, somewhat equivalent to Annual GDP of Iceland, the design could also incorporates Other Elemental feature, Like Earth or Fire.

For example, Earth Warrior would use Tungsten-Carbide or Depleted Uranium Armour piercinf Shell as the ammunition for the Air Cannon, with the Body Armor heavily enhanced to incorporate Ceramic Composite Armor and Complex Carbon-based polymer material for protection. While Fire warrior would use Thermite Ammunitions to create a fiery blaze of fire up to 2500'C,
as well as being equipped with NCFK-SD 12-1 Heat Resistant Armor.
