Amelia

Amelia being a BAMF. Still not keen on the armour details. I normally keep her designs really simple but felt that her armour should have a bit of detailing. Ho-hum. Technically it should also either have a head covering or war mask but neither worked in the illustration.

Edit: redesigned the armour. Still have my issues but I feel it's more balanced and consistent with what I want for this style.

Adrian

Pair of illustrations of an OC, Adrian. Left, the canon design and right, a modern design spawned out of a K-pop fuelled night of drawing. I plan on doing another of these for Adrian's mentor, Amelia.

Adrian's a bit of an attention whore. Lots of tattoos in both versions and hair cut to emphasize the large tissue damage to the right side of Adrian's face and shoulder. Adrian doesn't really like clothes, but the canon design mimic's Amelia's clothes (because Adrian idolizes her and totally wants to be her). In canon Adrian tends to walk around with little to no clothing because, seriously, fuck that. Modern design... well, it's about as naked as a person can get while still being stylish and not breaking any laws.

It's your old friend, deadly neurotoxin.

Some fanart for a change!

GLaDOS - Portal series

Last week my drawing group had AU (alternate universe) as its theme. I decided to actually do the theme for the week and drew an android version of one of my favourite villains/potatoes, GLaDOS. I worked with just her original design, specifically the white plates. 

Also trying to start creating more graphic illustrations even if it's just a character study. I plan on working with the style more over the coming months.

Space suits - girl armour

Finally finished this fucker. I redesigned this about five times and completely redid the overall layout and most of the lines over the past few days. This is what I get for trying to draw something so complex when I'm out of it for several weeks. Oops.
Originally I intended to have her and her male counterpart (who may or may not be drawn later) as military-ish figures but she looks a lot more like a cop. I'll be doing a weapons study later. I wanted to do something different that the sci-fi gun standard and came up with a multipurpose energy weapon (katar-like blade, taser-punch, energy shooter, shield, and mass-damage ball and chain type weapon). Looking at it here it's way off scale.

Impractical outfit

Inspirations - Eva Unit 01's shoulders, anime styles in general, Helba from .Hack
Trying to push myself out of everything must be practical and/or simple and get into more complex stuff. As a result this ended up happening and it feels so teenager, ugh, but at the same time yeah! I'm not happy with the bottom half but that's mostly because in the sketching stage I was not thinking at all about the colour layout and paid for it later. I do, however, very much like waist up. I might mess around with this more later.
She needs a lance. If she belonged in a JRPG she would so be a lance person.

Space suits -boy

I have very little to say about him other than he took a hell of a lot less time that the girl and that I really like his pants. I'm seriously considering making something like those in the future - the pattern would be really easy, it would just be sewing down the piping/ribbon/embroidering that would be a pain.
Clearly I need to learn a lesson from this and actually give a good amount of time to planning before jumping into an illustration. Time for the armoured suits!

Space suits - girl

New drawings! (i.e. ones that have been almost done for weeks and I only just finished because I hate doing line work and that was all that was left.)

Inspirations - patterns from Atlantis, swim suits, that hood of amazingness and wonder from Prometheus
Finally done. This is a continuation from the space armour sketch from a few weeks months ago. I'll also be doing a male counterpart as well as a proper illustration for their armour. I want to get a good, strong series of illustrations out of this for my portfolio to show design, character, and the ability to think through all the details.
Initially I was only going to do the armours but then I decided to get more involved in this. I imagine the base suit as a wear-all-day kind of thing made out of the magical fabric described by Edna Mode in The Incredibles. It would offer protection from the elements and from the armours; however, to allow for individuality the people in this setting wear easy to remove clothing over top their suits. That way if an alarm sounds they can get into their armours quickly and efficiently without having to completely change their clothing.
