Description
“The apocalypse is not something which is coming. The apocalypse has arrived in major portions of the planet and it’s only because we live within a bubble of incredible privilege and social insulation that we still have the luxury of anticipating it.”
- Terence McKenna

One of the fine folks at ARTEMIS Global Tactical Defense Services, a fictional private security contractor, deployed to some unnamed third world country (possibly in West Africa or Southeast Asia) for less than noble purposes at some point in the second half of the 21st century. He's wearing an advanced HMD (head-mounted display) and packing a [fictional] BV P52 (Belkin-Voight Project 2052) bullpup style assault rifle equipped with a ZeroMS AOG (advanced optical gunsight). While HMDs are worn today by some fighter pilots, I imagine that ground forces of the future may have HMDs of their own for better integration with the unmanned components of their units, among other uses. For instance, the HMD depicted in the pic above also serves as a respirator for use in areas where weapons or chemical manufacturing facilities have been impacted, so as to protect the soldier from dangerous exposure to hazardous materials in the air.

The color scheme in this pic is derived largely from "Apocalypse Now", but there's also a B/W version that I did that you can check out HERE .

Listening to: "The End" by The Doors

Thanks for looking!
