Drudge 'Grenadier' Variant – Alien Heavy Infantry Concept

The "Drudge" (Grenadier Variant) is a sci-fi alien infantry concept created for a personal project exploring heavy/elite enemy unit archetypes. I really wanted to think about gameplay, and i thought the idea of sort of a heavy- mortar or grenade launching unit would be fun. Something which stands behind the front lines, far away, dealing long range splash damage. The ammunition on his shoulder pads would offer some (explosive) fun for players using a sniper rifle.

The design emphasizes bulky armor plating, advanced energy technology, and a silhouette that communicates power and battlefield presence. Presented with full front/side/back orthographics, material callouts, and color variants to demonstrate professional concept art workflows. Inspired by AAA game pipelines (Halo, Destiny, Mass Effect).
