Hi 🙂 This is the first time, I submit something, so I hope, I don’t mess up.
A friend linked this to me because she thought I might like it, and she was absolutely correct. And since I think it looks pretty awesome and like it might fit the purview of your blog, I’m submitting this to you.
Beautiful artwork, fantasy settings, female characters in reasonable armor and coloring books? That’s an oddly specific cross-section of my interests I could only hope to find on a crowdfunding platform 🙂Â
The book is basically ready to go, so the funding, barring stretch goals, goes into printing and shipping out a completed product. If you love ladies in good armor, please consider supporting this project on Kickstarter.
Ah, one of our favoriterepeat offenders… Seriously, though, what am I even looking at?? Is this a Red Bull ad?
So I looked up this character and the wiki page had this to say:Â
Only the most elite knights of the continent of Hiquba are permitted to join the Starka Temple Knights. It is considered the highest honor to join their ranks… At the grand induction ceremony in their hallowed temple, their captain Fortunata looks on forlornly. Her heart grieves at the thought of how few will live to see the end of the next war.
I have a few questions: If these soldiers are the most elite, why will so many of them die? How do they replenish their ranks? Why does the captain worry about her fully-armored soldiers dying, and not herself, who appears to be wearing a Victora’s Secret armor lingerie? Did her left foot step into a wormhole, and is that why it’s disappeared? …What’s with the cherubs…??
Her evolved armor looks a lot better, though she still forgot her pants at home, and I don’t even want to theorize on what’s happening with her breasts…
But with the improved armor comes a worse lore entry:
Fortunata leads her fresh recruits to subjugate the ogre demonic brutes that have crossed into their borders. The unfortunate young soldiers, lacking in the strict training characteristics of the Starka Temple Knights, serve as little more than human shields. Despite this handicap, Fortunata exhibits superb technique and strength, slaying the horde with ease. She is more than willing to prove how she earned her lofty position.
What???? This lady is awful at her job, how has she not been fired? Or jailed?? She’s just leading fresh recruits to die to demons when she supposedly has an army of professionals! Is this an insurance scam? Why is she leading recruits when she’s supposed to be commanding the elites? No wonder that cherub is glaring at her!
We have to send a strongly-worded letter to Marvel about this blatant CENSORSHIP! How could they put Tony in that awful, protective full-body armor when he could be saving the world in a metal crop top?? Now, finally, he and Cap can match!
And with such soulful eyes, he will definitely lead the Avengers to victory!
I guess, in a way, superheroine costumes are kinda like pokemon who evolve only via trade (except pokemon are always awesome). They need a change of medium to be even a little bit less awful.
Now this kind of majesty and style is a fantasy look I can get behind. Â Particularly with the choices of decorative plate on the gorget and combination of chainmail and a tabard.
