Description "The Front Lines of War- Utena's Last Stand" is a conceptual art piece, of one anime character Utena Tenjou, from the anime Shoujo Kakumei Utena (Revolutionary Girl Utena).

It's design art work for a fanfiction project of mine entitled Just Like Clockwork (click for link), where a cyborg from the distant but futuristic past is awaken from her 2000 year long sleep by a witch in a new rustic medieval world.

...Utena, a cybernetic being wearing a suit of frightening plate mail armor and wielding a powerful blade, teams up with Anthy a once-slave girl and a black arts witch. Finding herself in a magick-oriented world, that has lost the powerful computers and technology of its past after a cataclysmic event, Utena must meet new characters and try to understand her place in a story that has all but forgotten her. She must fufill her ancient programming: to protect the heir to the Ohtori bloodline and see to it their country flourishes, while balancing strange and new human emotions...


In this particular piece, Utena is being shown still human and alive in her past, during the futuristic era. Taking part in the numerous battles for the sake of her war-driven country, she has yet to acquire her back's massive scar from a near-death incident. It's this incident that later sparks her Prince Dios to action to move her up through the Guardian Program and have her body reconstructed with the machines that later allow her to be a powerful and nearly indestructible soldier.

Here we see her without her famous Guardian Eco-Armor as well, and instead in the military issue hardsuits that are worn by male and female canidate combatants alike. Her arm is outfited with a strapped-on high powered laser on her arm, and she's wielding a blaster.



..


Later I plan to come up with some sketches of her body, showing the scar, and the concept art of her armor as well as the other characters. But perhaps I should actually focus on updating the actual story instead. XP

Part of me always knew Utena-sama would do well in a cyber punk, post apocalyptic story! Now I have some serious reading to do!
