Avenger 1 Wallpaperby ~mindflenzing

Customization / Wallpaper / People / Females

Here is the last of the works in progress I've been sitting on for a few weeks (I blame Fable 1 and 2 for the delay). This one is a design I will be using for a D&D 4th Ed. campaign. It occurred to me that Games Workshop's Warhammer 40K Sisters of Battle work as well as Avengers as they do Paladins (so long as you spend a feat on Leather Armor Proficiency).

Edit: I was debating the hair color and decided the white hair version is better because of the contrast and the way it draws more attention to the face.

The party she's going to be in will be interesting since we have a chivalrous half-orc fighter, a melee bard (also female), and my avenger will be a hale and hearty melee type. Since the female half of the party will be in close combat and the fighter is not entirely OK with that it promises to be a hoot. Also, the fighter is a chaotic good character, the bard chaotic neutral, and the avenger lawful neutral (it works better than lawful good for a witch hunter) there will probably be some interesting moral conflicts in the group.

The scar is longer than I usually see, I like it going through her lips like this. The coloring on the white and black material makes it look like leather, but if you wanted to you could make the white edging silver, and do the metal edges thing like Magic Knights Rayearth.

I love everything except for the high-heels, just because they can't be easy to fight in and look painful. But stylistically they match the brutal, dark, authoritarian, witch-hunter look. The red cape even reminds me of the Inquisition--one of my favorite flavors of villian. Great design.

Well, I'm a fan of the scar over the eye thing bringing it over the lips also makes it not only a meaner scar but it also takes more of her femininity away than a smaller scar, and suggests a more careless aggression. I thought about silver but decided to stick with the higher contrast because "stark" is a work that fits the character well and should be incorporated into the design.

I'm sure they are (I use them as the explanation for her low dexterity). The choice was made because it made an already tall character even taller, and because it had that darker more villainous look. Being a Holy Avenger of a war god (and Lawful Neutral) pretty much makes her an inquisitor. She's a good guy inasmuch as the people she revels in slaughtering are generally evil.

Looks good, and the white hair is more interesting.

~mindflenzing Sep 15, 2009 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I agree.

It's a good design, the sleeves, shoulder pads, and white trim on the torso being the strongest points. It seems that there is a lot more you can do, in terms of design, with leather armor than metal armor. Unless you want to pull an Iron Man and say that the armor is flexible like spandex or something.

Leather is nice because it can be as rigid or supple as you want.

~jmsnooks Sep 15, 2009 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Yea, whereas if you want to do something with metal you have to have movable plates.

~mindflenzing Sep 15, 2009 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Generally. With the simplicity of my style you are more likely to have the Iron Man styled inexplicably flexible material. When I was doing more detailed work I would definitely have more overlapping joints and other articulation.

~jmsnooks Sep 15, 2009 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

It's not inexplicable if it's leather. Only if it's supposed to be metal. I know a lot of the old Roman armor is often depicted as having a metallic sheen even though the stuff that fit the torso and contained muscular contours was actually leather. Or you could just go with mail if you want to have skin tight-ish armor but make it metal, which I think is what you have always done as long as I have known you.

The Roman Lorica Segmentata is leather backed laminated iron or steel with leather straps.
