Artist's Comments

Ok, I was inspired by this pic [link] by Blackwater on hartists.net (Thanks to RandomRedux for introducing me to that site, I might post some adult sketches there in the future sometime.).

Anyways, for reasons that I'm sure you can all gather, I found blackwater's work to be cool as shit (and sexy as hell) and I got to thinking "Hey, I've been meaning to redesign new clothes for vanessa so that she has a new lower tech look to her." So I borrowed a bunch of elements from the ninja girl designs and threw them together with some of my own ideas into this new redesign, which I think is kickass.

The goal here was for her to be sexy, scary, and stealthy looking. I think that I've pulled that off but I'd love to here other people's thoughts. I was also trying to make her NOT look too much like a typical anime ninja character, so I did my best to get rid of as many japan-ime ninja stereotypes as I could.

Oh, and I think that I'm changing her origins story. I think that she looks a bit like a deathcultist, so perhaps her roots are in such an organization, who can say.

Comments, critiques, props?

Slick work indeed. Great detailing. My only critique would be with her knees and thigh muscles, their hinging and shaping may need some tweaks. Cool character!

I was going to say she looks death culty, but you got that already. My only suggestion, are less skin showing(dont hurt me yet Ill explain), and more armor. I suppose those two things are on in the same. Ok here my reasoning. She looks pretty well armed ready for the nitty gritty, but she looks fragile. I know shes supposed to be stealthy, but she somehow reminds me o Lara Croft. That and there are plenty of armors that would allow her movement and protection. These are just my opinions, and either way I really like the piece. ^^

What has the world come to when man is forced to act like the animal he pretends not to be.
Hmm, I suppose that I could rig up some sort of leather harness thing for her top instead of the current top. The idea that I had with the current design is that she doesn't use armor as it slows her down. You can't see it right now but on the back of her harness along with the sword she has a Displacer field. This is a REALLY old 40k fluff thing that was added into the old Inquisitor game, essentially it detects danger and teleports you in a random direction a random distance right before you get hit (Not into objects though.). It works in conjunction with the auspex on her wrist. But yeah, I actually agree that the current design shows a BIT too much skin, but I don't know what to do to solve it. If you want to send me some examples of cool armor I could add that wouldn't obscure her figure then I'll add some bits when I ink this next week.

Yeah they were done without reference and I still have a lot of trouble getting legs right without reference. I can do feet rather well oddly but shoes utterly confound me (ie: left foot...).

Thank you though.

Ah the good old displacer filed. I may have joined the universe a bit late, but I did my homework. ^^

Ok here. [link] this gives a list of 40k armours. My suggestion about her armor would be a mesh armor and flak composite. She is an inquisitor so she could probably get some alien tech. Or a unique eldar composite suit. ^^ Hope that hels. Also that site has everything. ^^

Pictures man, I know what the different types are. Give me pictures of ninja-ish solutions, be they high or low tech, so that I can get over the artist's block I have atm.

Sadly I can find any. I tried I really. did. ^^; I have in fact been looking for it on and off since I sent that message. Again Im sorry I couldnt find any.

it is really cool, but the feminine features are a bit exaggerated. Not to the point where it is just stupid though

other than that, that is one sweet ninja girl dude :)

How Many Inquisitor's Does it Take to Screw in a lightbulb?
3!
1 to call it heretical
1 to Deny its existence
1 to screw it in! =D

Women with DD breasts do naturally occur you know, I find it funny that most people here are utterly convinced that such is not the case.

Thank you.
