An armored polar bear, living in a future where bears have been uplifted into an intelligent but militarized species, controls a massive canon with a big old lens. But even though he's waiting to make his perfect shot, he manages to fall asleep while bunnies hop around his massive, armored paw and on his giant canon.
Painted by concept artist Koshime and posted on the eye-blisteringly awesome Gorilla Art Fare blog, this is like some kind of dark cyber version of an armored bear from the His Dark Materials trilogy. Koshime (AKA Dr CM Wong) is a concept artist based in the UK, who also works as a doctor. He's interested in space medicine specifically, though we're hoping he's also working on creating giant robo-bears.
You can see more of Koshime's art here.

Armed, robotic, intelligent bears? Stephen Colbert is not going to be thrilled about this.
he carries a huge camera? cannon.
Cannon.
This is much better than my picture of a lion armed with fanfic.
@harumph: @PeteRR:
Follow teh link. that's the joke.
Wow, it's so cool that in the future bears will use a contrapuntal musical composition which employs a melody with one or more variations as a weapon!
Pachelbel would be proud.
@workingonyourinvoice: I knew her spelling wasn't that bad.
@moff: But just in case anyone was wondering, it was Thundercats fanfic.
Awww...bunnies!
Anyone remember the Dilbans from Gordon R. Dickson's "Spacepaw"?
@harumph: Would you trust a bear using Nikon equipment?
Case rested.
As long as the bear follows the established storylines, I don't care what he carries.
The words "armored polar bear" cause a strange tingly feeling in my pants
I have to admit I'm totally in this for the bunnies.
@Annalee
Well as long as it isn't Killer Rabbits then I'm there....
I get enough of those from the last Guild Wars expansion... lol
NRA beware, this is what happens when you have the right to arm bears.
