- I came up with this one in about an hour or more, maybe two, 'cause I was trying to make it look something like This picture. =) Comments/Critiques on the image are also welcome. I'm still fiddling with the anatomy, which is why it's not been inked, yet.
- Setara/Rei is an ambidextrious LightBlade master capable of wielding 1 or 2 LightBlades, and flawlessly switching between using one or both, or by securing his/her custom blades one end to the other and fighting "Double-Saber" style. It's also possible for this character to kinetically manuever two blades, while holding two more, and attacking with more than 2 blades. =D Needless to say, he/she kicks some serious fanny.
- I dunno if the angle is exactly right on this sprite, considering that the enemies will be directly to the right. Perhaps the head needs to be turned more, dunno..
- This is / will be? her attack ready pose once the player has unlocked the "Multiple Weapon" slot. Otherwise she will prep with only one blade, which is easy enough, I just remove one sword and move an arm. =T

Very, VERY good art, but if I was her, and I was fighting with two blades, I'd probably have one up for defense, as close to the enemy as possible, and one a bit behind me for power swings.
But then again, there is a lot of wacky stuff like that in RPG's.

Isn't that exactly what it looks like she's doing?

Front sword too low - she'll have difficulties blocking a high attack. Rear sword way too far back - by the time she gets it near her opponent, her opponent will be gone. Also, it's pointing in the wrong direction. Not to mention that her feet are too far apart. But, yeah, it looks nice.

- If you wanna get technical... no, that would not work for a close-range attack.. but it's not a pose for a close-range attack. She still has to dash towards her target. It's more about style. In an 'anime', she would be holding the blades much closer towards her body. Of course, this would most likely be if she were surrounded, since against one opponent there is no need for her to use more than one sword.

If everything was technical, we'd have a zillion games like bushido blade, where one little *POIK!* can kill you. Make it look cool. I mean... if you're fighting land squids and magical squirrels, why be accurate?

Land squids of DOOM. The doom makes all the difference.

If everything would be realistic, she would wear more than a belt and a shirt... or are those pants?
And the magic squirrels of doom ofcourse. Who said this very true point about doom?

is she looking backwards, or is her front arm twisting in a weird way? or is her elbow backwards? plus the back sword doesn't look far enough away. looks like she's holding it up to her body, yet she's holding it far away because you can't see any of her arm.

Her arm's ok, the biceps is on the left and so are the fingers. If you'd see it as the fingers being on the right, wich I think is how you saw it, her nek would be weird and she'd have a camelish back... Wich would also be weird.

- Oh dear lord! Magical squirrels. I think I have to put a couple in there now. =D Hah hah hah! After all, this game is meant to be more on the humorous side. The story these characters are based off of is far more technical.
| Quote: | | she would wear more than a belt and a shirt... or are those pants? |
- Most other characters would. In this turnaround I'm still coloring you can see in the first image that Miyoki's Federation uniform includes a piece of cloth over the chest. Cryssians have fragile crystals embedded in their chest that extend their life. The cloth is kind of like kevlar, it reduces damage from energy weapons. Obviously, they would need to wear helmets in a combat situation, but this is just standard "walk around the starship" wear.
- But as for Rei, she can prance around in that kind of outfit because she's more like an android. She's a lot faster. But when she takes a hit, yeah, there's no armor there, really.
- And it's a pair of shorts and pantyhose, with a thick cut-off T-shirt.
[edit] This hit me about ohh... 7 hours later? The reason Rei runs around without armor is those arm bands she's wearing. Those armbands can generate shields of varying dimension and shape based on information processed by the gloves. So basically, different hand, finger, and arm positions generate different types of shields. That's why the lack of armor. =T

i see her kinda better now, but her arm still seems kinda twisted. the arm pose is unnatural.
in my opinion, the elbow is more pointing straight down than pointing left.
but what do i know? i'm just a teen! :D
