Artist's Comments

Here is the 3rd version (there was another transitional design but it never got to ink or even penciled details). I'm still not happy at all with the face (even after much tinkering) but I like the armor much better. The new armor style is more like the clone trooper pilot Mk II Omega armor and also more form fitting. With an angry look and a more hawk like nose it is incredibly hard not to make her face look like a witch. I'm trying to balance the hardness but I've been barking up the wrong tree and I think I need to start from scratch for the face rather than keep trying to modify it. I may change some of the elements of the costume (like the elbow and knee pads) back but I'm overall much happier with this armor design than I was with the previous designs.

This outfit is different from others. This looks like (as you said) a clonetrooper armor, I like it.
That commando knife is a bit like a short sword, but I like its design. (maybe it is really short sword 0_o)

Have you ever played Republic Commandos? (I predict you have played! RC is one of my favorite games) The melee weapon is the coolest I have ever seen. A small knife comes out from the hand plate.

The knife is actually a bayonet which I have in her other hand just so it has something to do. I've personally come to like many of the single edged blade designs over the double so I decided to use such a style on the bayonets.

I've seen the demo for RC but never played it myself. FPS and Squad games are not so much my style I'm more the KotOR/Jedi Academy type of gamer.

Nice armor. Did you design the helmet for it? I've always been a sucker for black and red color schemes on armor when they are done tastefully and this fits the bill nicely. i also like its meaning within Mandalorian culture. Was this character a precursor to Sancho?
:iconmindflenzing:
I did not design a helmet specifically for this armor. The pose did not lend itself to having a helmet so I decided to leave it out. This character is more of an Arkanian successor to the Mandalorian Sache. I build Sache as a strictly damage dealing character in melee and when I realized that certain things would not work like I wanted I got frustrated and went with the next idea out of the pipeline. Fortunately for me, as the primary GM I get to use new characters all the time as NPCs.

It is a lot better, and certainly more original. Great details, good color scheme. The only thing is I would have made a larger version availible for download so that people could see the details more closely.
