Description After mulling over her Armour design for an entire year, I've gotten somewhere

What I was going for was an officer'/General's Cuirass that's a mixture between light and heavy Armour
and fit for use in a Volcanic tundra with very potent seasons. I sacrificed protection a bit in the place of mobility

Everything's still a work in progress though ~

Name:"Ser" Rein Sieglund
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Age: 31

- -Job - -
Primary:
*General - Strategist
Secondary:
*Diplomat
*Horse Trainer

Class: Knight/General of Llausk
Primary Weaponry: Halberd/Lance/Javelin
Secondary Weaponry: Shortsword

Traits:
*Early Riser, Early to Bed
*Great Mastery over horses
*Opsomanic (Seafood)
*Strategic Mastermind
*Charismatic

Brief Description:
Rein is known by most as a calm, polite and courteous individual who is known for her cunning, strategic prowess and military achievements.
Despite her politeness, she is not necessarily kind, and any attempts at idle conversation would likely be met with cleverly disguised passive aggressive remarks and an aura of distance.
Neither does her reserved behavior suggest pacifism, and to engage in a hostile verbal debate with her would be foolish.

Her duties range from overseeing campaigns and skirmishes, to dissipating growing political tensions as a diplomat, the latter of which she strongly detests.
As a tactician she rarely engages in front line combat, however that by no means makes her any less formidable than the other Generals.
Despite her outward loyalty, there have been times in the past where she has subverted orders for the welfare of her troops to the ministries dismay.

In times of peace she quietly spends her time training the city's Cavalry and resting in her Winery estate on the outskirts of the city.
She is rarely present at the Castle at any other time, attending only for official events or war room meetings.

Quote:
*"Perhaps you are mistaken"
*"I care little for politics"
*"Such unproductive banter disinterests me"
*"There is much more to fear from the living than the dead"
*"It is with the sincerest condolences I bid you farewell"

One word Description: Ambiguous

Theme song: [link]
(I wish it could be)

Random fun fact?
Rein's hair is disheveled and uneven due to her horse Avalon
whom she rehabilitated after a post-battle trauma's resurfacing
habit of picking up on her nervous or uneasy behavior and munching on her hair
to bring her attention to his anxiety or her own distress.
OM NOM NOM

If you see anything aesthetically or functionally wrong with the design/profile, do point it out to me
I'm going for a spot of realism instead of the "Chain Bikibi's" I see in Fantasy

Oh, lovely outfit! I'm glad you didn't aim for the typical "I'm a sexy knight lady, look at my boobs and the chainmail armor that doesn't cover me or give protection at all"

Thank you for paying attention to the environment and realism in your design XD Even having done only archery, I can tell you that shooting without a flat chest guard is very painful.
I'm glad you are putting up some more OC designs

I could imagine punching yourself in the breast every single time you draw the bow
So many fantasy designs are absolutely ridiculous (Hence fantasy, but sometimes it's just too much)
awww, thank you! (Plenty more to come I hope )

You always give your characters a sense of realism that I am super jealous of!! I love the design of her armor and how you drew it (can't draw armor to save my life -dies-) but anyways back to you! Her profile is concise and believable, she still seems like a person with faults and a sense of realism. I feel like I could almost know her (I say almost cause I don't really know anyone like her so I can't really imagine it : P )

Also I love the fun fact about her hair! So cute!!

I really think characters are becoming more materialistic
and determined by their weapons, powers and uniqueness rather than their personalities and that kind of makes me sad.
It's been a while since I've read a web-comic with strong characters.
People's fears of giving characters faults (which are a hell of fun to make fun of )
is a bit sad, it's a human aspect that's disappearing (or I'm not looking in the right place )

Thank you so much for the feed back
It makes me really happy she's heading in the right direction characterization wise

Altairias In reply to Lukwarm [2013-04-10 03:45:28 +0000 UTC]

Yeah she really is. And yes I know what you mean by the flaws, I've read so many new books and they always have that gorgeous character that everybody falls head over heels for cause their so absolutely beautiful and have absolutely no flaws too what so ever. And then I read an older book where the character can't do shit and is average looking and just wants to do whatever the hell he/she wants and is absolutely NOT the main character type and I find I love them more.
Then if you go into the more fantasy types of books, the main character always has that super rare familiar or something out of some legend and are always the one's to do everything that near impossible with out working for it much. Makes me really sad that there never seems to be any character development what so ever. Like how did the suddenly become super strong? How where you bale to beat someone who was five times stronger than you in one blow? People need to plan a bit more on their characters and I think you have that down. Your character is already ten times better than most others.

Haha dont worry. I get a lot of my influence from Fire Emblem too. At the very least it has a beautiful art style.

Ravajava [2013-04-01 13:51:19 +0000 UTC]

Great work Love the subtle shading. You are also good at making a characters face distinct such that the character is recognizable and distinct.

The traits remind me of the total war games where your generals take on traits that effect their performance. Far too many of mine had the trait "bloody" with the quote "What's a few casualties between friends?" So yeah, hopefully Rein is a bit better at her job

Hurray!
Glad to know all that practice on character consistency paid off

Bwahahaaha, I know that feel, My D & D characters tend to be malicious monsters
She's got the intelligence part down , the empathy part is in need of work though

Yes. I'm going to need to do the same, working on character consistency.

Thank you!
While in the middle of drawing this I learnt that having shapely armour around the chest
is actually ineffective and counter productive, so I had to make a balance of function and Aesthetic
I've been affected by stereotypes and I didn't notice
