Jackary Archives Day 170 - Zero Suit Pneuma (White) (2023) (Patreon)

Today's Archives Post is Pneuma from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 wearing a special Zero Suit, white and green to fit her aesthetic specifically!

Whenever one draws a Zero Suit, it's mandatory and obligatory to draw the original blue colors, and indeed, that configuration has already been posted to the Archives. But many people, myself included, consider this white version to be the definitive version of this Pneuma. Enjoy!

ARTIST NOTES

This is a late 2023 piece, making it one of the "newest" drawings in the Archives. Although I don't consider her face and hair to be a home run, boy am I satisfied with how this Zero Suit came out.

Everyone has their own interpretation of how the Zero Suit should look. Some draw it thin and skin-tight, like a latex outfit. For some reason, I've always liked the idea of it being a thicker material, more akin to the thickness of a wetsuit, with a slick rubber-like finish on the "main" layer. I tried to convey that here, and the end result ended up pretty much exactly how I imagine it in my head. I try not to get horni when I talk about my own art, but this Zero Suit drawing definitely does something to my monkey brain.

As a random aside, I also had plans for a third version, which is a custom color set that implements green, white, and blue, her primary color scheme for her default outfit in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. It's just a matter of recoloring layers, so it shouldn't be hard to bring it to completion, and maybe I should -- but until I do, I figured I may as well post the WIP here. Do you like that one more, the blue one, or this white one?
