Here we go again. Similar in style to the Jelidan and Righteous Jade pictures - and also the Purrfect Archer one, actually. At some point I need to start practicing drawing actual backgrounds instead of these stylised colour approximations...
...though this is kinda halfway there; there's some level of detail to the backdrop, at least, and the floating interface panels count as 'objects' since I had to draw 'em individually anyway.
Silicon Sabre (for OpMegs)

As usual, High Res Version available (965.7kb - 1348x1676)
Some design liberties taken with the costume to make it more 'hardsuit-like'. Hair, skin tone and face based on 2040 Sylia Stingray...largely because the hair colour worked better for the picture. Old-school BGC Sylia has dark hair, which didn't look right with the helmet (I tried that initially). The pose itself is pretty static, but that's because I knew there'd be an ambitious amount of detail here, and wasn't sure if it'd work.
Well, it does work, so if I were doing something like this again, I'd probably try for something more dynamic, perhaps more akin to the classic 'hardsuit jettisoning' Priss image. That's in the future, though.
