Classic Hairstyle Or Super Sayian? Doesn't Matter, She'll Get Both! (Sci Fi WIP) (Patreon)

Hello!

The first Sci Fi WIP this month is here!  So having dug through a bit of the Witchblade lore, I've discovered the title actually refers to the gauntlet she's wearing.  I thought it was alien tech but the gauntlet is actually a conscious, intelligent, and ancient weapon with supernatural origins. It is also one of 13 mystical artifacts which guide the fate of the universe.

The Witchblade has been worn by many characters throughout history but since the suggestion was for Sara Pezzini, I went with her character design.  This gauntlet acts like the Venom symbiote on steroids, giving the host adaptive armor, shapeshifting, super strength...basically anything it wants.  It's also pretty picky like Thor's hammer.  The Witchblade will only choose hosts they deem worthy and the host has to be female (I read the explanation but it didn't make sense to me).

I can't say much about Sara as a character but I do remember seeing a comic book cover with her and Lara Croft.  I wonder if that was any good.  Also, I've rarely seen a costume design that has vacillated between such extremes.  It's like the different artists couldn't decide what to settle on over the years.  

While it doesn't take a genius to see why classic Witchblade catapulted to the top spot, I actually really like her fully armored version.  I can see that armored suit worn by a boss character or some sort of special reward in a superhero game.  I also like those comic strips where Sara's hair is billowing in the wind so I included that head version.  And just to be clear, she'll get the option to mix and match her head variations with the suit variations.  

Okay, onto Nova.  Haha, I remember her for completely derailing Raynor and Kerrigan's reunion in Starcraft 2's second campaign.  Also, she was supposed to be in a third person shooter that never materialized for some reason.  I kind of resent her for the first thing though.  It makes me wonder what the point of the first campaign was if Kerrigan was going to relapse so quickly.

Now that I think about it, Nova indirectly kills her boss Arcturus Mengsk through her meddling.  If she hadn't captured Raynor, Kerrigan probably wouldn't have gone on that rampage but then again she was just following orders.  Whatever, female ghosts look cool and she's definitely the poster lady for them.

Next up is Seras Victoria and my take on the original Sarah Kerrigan.  Stay tuned!
