ARTIST: Ej Sulit (Insta @slimsulit)
TITLE: Warhawk Trooper
MEDIUM: Acrylic on Resin and Found Objects
SIZE: 7" height x 6.5" width x 4" depth
BACK STORY: "It was midnight in the Galactic Empire when the Troops were attacked by enemy soldiers coming from the Far East. In the chaos that ensued, "Warhawk" gets separated from his troops, leading to his capture. Blindfolded and beaten, they brought him to an unfamiliar island called Nguyacow.
Slowly, he wakes up, his head covered with a dark black sheet, his hands cuffed to a steel platform. From a sheer opening on the cloth strewn over his head he sees machine parts and metal particles scattered all around him."
BACK STORY (CONTINUED): "With all his strength, he manages to break free from the cuffs that bound him. He slowly removes the dark cover on his head and as the light catches his eye, he sees a glimmer of his own reflection from the oil dripping on the wall…
He lets out a piercing scream. Warhawk is now half trooper, half machine.
One side of his face is made up of materials and metal parts never before seen on this planet, the other half a remnant of the identity he once owned. He feels new and raw power surging from the part of him that has now turned into a machine. And with this renewed might, he swore to search for answers and to find the people responsible for doing this to him…"
(Cheers for the heads, Ej)
