Good sketches, good story girl. I especially liked the long flowing asian robes.
And you'll never know, you might be able to mimic these designs in-game sooner than you think.
It would take some glue to make that robe stay in place, but I'm not complaining...
Cool in a fantasy sort of way.
oooh, a very interesting style, i like the robed look, and the armour underneat realy gives her a celestial look....
reminds me of some anime character, but i dont remember who >_<
Auron meets Lulu (meets Quistis)?
I hope I don't get smacked down for this, since it's not really City of Heroes related. (although I did make a City of Heroes port of the character in question!)
First, pictures!

Basically my character - Iselsis - from one of my Exalted roleplaying games is getting a drastic makeover soon and several things came together to create her new look. I just had to draw it to get the image out of my head, and I'm quite proud as I think it's my best work to date.
The story behind them:
Before, my character had short hair. She's also a half-demon (hence the ears) and basically kept herself covered up so as to not be seen as a freak. She's gained some self esteem since then though. She used to wear a big greatcoat (like the russian ones), a bodysuit underneath, heavy toed boots, a hat drawn low, and a scarf over her face.
Well, her armor - the coat - blew up when she had to blow herself and a badguy up to stop them from getting into a clinic (which is bad stuff, people die that way). Then later the demon that should be using her body - but who is apparantly kept out by her force of will - took over briefly and her hair grew; the demon likes it long apparantly.
The whole "only your force of will is keeping you going" THEN reminded me of good old Auron. <3 As luck would have it, there's a character in the party who dresses in those big scholarly asian robes. Which gave me an instant idea on how to make one of those look gooood on a girl, despite being men's clothing.
Plus, my characters sister is going to summon a demon-which-is-armor to replace her old one, which would be the second picture. That one was hell to do but eh! I lived.
Then all I had to do was add snazzy glasses and viola!
Just had to post here and ramble since I'm so proud of it, and I don't go to any art forums or anything. >_> Shame I can't recreate it in the CoH character generator in a million years.
