I guess you could say this is a fan art piece.
Because it's ripped from call of duty: modern warfare. Without the fuzziness, of course.
it's in 1920*1080, so there you go in case you want a SICK ASS wallpaper! *cough

So, I think I need to explain why I decided to do this, this scene in specific. Feel free to skip this, cause it will be highly stupid, but here we go.
First off, some context. In the game, there's a mission on which terrorists attack a plaza in the UK. You know, stereotypical "Oh arab terrorists" kind of thing, but it was really, really well executed, and I'm a person that is hard to impress for real.
There I was, with a tiny ass pistol, walking through the aftermath of the first bomb's explosion. I walk out of a cloud of smoke, and I see, between civilian corpses and runners, a hoe with a machine gun just jumping right on top of a car and blasting the hell of whoever was in there. I got legit scared for a second, as I physically yelled "Oh no you bitch!!!" and shot her in the F**** head as fast as I could.
I wanted to just stand there and thing of how cool and impressive those seconds just were, but I couldn't, as I saw two more terrorists coming out of a store and filling civilians with lead with their LMG's. That's another story though.
Let me elaborate on why I liked the machine gun lady so much so that I even did fan art, something I have NEVER done before aside from once I think.

-The impression. Never has a game ever made me want to pause it to just think of what I just saw and did. This game's got some guts to show that kind of stuff. Yes, a lot of it is just shock value, and you can tell they did it to be controversial "just cause". But the way it's executed, in my opinion, is excellent.

-Terrorism. It is always something that gets my attention. how some people, just because they have a belief nailed in their head and are so convinced of something, can disregard human life completely, and sadly, that is a truth. And that goes for everything, from terrorism to christianism, to feminism, People live, and don't want to let live.

-Sexy chic. Yes indeedy, when you think of terrorism, you think of bearded arabs, bald russians, or Americans in a suit. But this girl looked the most common, she even had normal clothing. Made me think how a belief can get to anyone, and not only that, it made me think...maybe she didn't even do it for faith, maybe she just got the perfect excuse to let off some steam.

-Consequences. It's the first time I feel like all the civilians that died were my fault. Generally in videogames you see people dying and you go around your business, or you rage at some evil dude for doing it. But this time, the fact that I could've shot her sooner, the fact that I could stop it and the game actually allows you to, it really made me feel like I was the one letting it happen for not being fast enough. It even made me physically squeak at what was happening on the computer. Really really well crafted.
