Makes me think of a version that was raised by or triggered with the abilities of a Predator/Yautja with the power of creating Bio armor.

Wonderful art, and I am enjoying your fanfic as well. Thanks for sharing.

The costume looks really cool, buuuut I have one slight complaint: her waist seems too thin. Almost Barbie-like. Maybe it's not, and it just looks that way because the armour gives her wide shoulders and hips? But in that case her stomach is a lot less protected than everywhere else. Can someone who actually knows something of art tell me if I'm right or if I'm just being stupid?

Keep in mind that Taylor, AKA "Skitter" in canon is described as "tall and thin" with adjectives like 'gangly', 'gawky', and 'beanpole', commonly thrown in.

It's an optical illusion ... somewhat. The underlying figure isn't as curvy as you might think, the components on the hips jut out a fair bit and the way the abdominal plating and the leg-like pieces on the sides tricks the eye. Still, the figure does have a somewhat thinner waist than she should, but that's a mix of artistic style and habit from drawing my insanely thin waited mecha from that angle so often.

I'd love to see a colored version of this some day. It just looks crazy badass.

Now we need Khepri as Endbringer and in AllGrow'dUp form.
This is incredible and makes me want the whole Hebert family, regardless of size.

More or less. ToT's Skitter definitely has the potential to be 'so unfairly bullshit it's not funny'. There are some limitations that do keep her in check, among them is the fact she's trying to be a hero (granted she's accepted she has to be a terror hero, but still) and the pace at which events occur prevents her from having the time to properly tinker with her swarm.
Still, she is undoubtedly powerful, and while the combat is fun, I'm not writing ToT with the intent of having those encounters providing the conflict of the story. That instead comes from the simple struggle of Taylor trying to be a better person, both in her social interactions with others and in her cape career.

Wow, I made this comment quite a while back. I think this was actually before I got into the Worm fandom beyond the main story itself and has only just started reading fanfiction. I'm going to have to give your story a re-read sometime!

Niiiice armour design, one of the best I've seen for Taylor.

This is perfect. It looks powerful and frightening, almost like she's the warlord everyone says she is. I can understand now why people on the street would fear and respect her. 10/10 yo!

This is def. my favorite version of her costume- it really looks like armor.
(ended up using it as a reference over here, hope you don't mind?)

I've never hit 'favorite' so fast in my life, omgosh this is perfect. That armor is on point. She looks untouchable and downright terrifying--so very Skitter-like. I love love love this.

I like how the armor looks like armor, which is something that isn't done enough. It makes sense as something Taylor would put together.
Nicely done. One of my favorite Skitter pics, just in terms of how much sense it makes. I'm picturing this as a version 2/updated/repaired version, some time into her stint with the Undersiders (Arc 10?)

CrashLegacy In reply to Wildbow [2014-06-26 08:37:38 +0000 UTC]
Thanks. It's supposed to be largely based on the 'sharper, edgier' version she started wearing around the time the Ambassadors set up shop in Brockton Bay so yeah that variant of the costume.
The description you give in arc 1 of the armor panels being chitin layered with spider silk made me always imagine those sections resembling a barnacle-covered ballistic vest in terms of thickness, padding, and pliability.
On a side note: I'd love to pick your brains sometime about some of the characters in Brockton bay that didn't get much 'screen time' (Velocity, Gallant, and Browbeat particularly) as I've repeatedly found myself poking around trying to get an handle on what they could and couldn't do or even looked like. For example, Velocity is only described once, during, the fundraiser, and said description isn't repeated on either of the cast pages (I updated the wiki to include it)
