Description
Just your ordinary neo-Victorian cyborg girl in the ever popular T-pose! A character study for school, ultimately supposed to turn this into normal maps for a low res mesh in Maya. I made a gun for her and everything, but it looked silly in the t-pose, so I left it out of this preliminary study. Posing characters is next quarter :)
The background concept if you're interested:
Like a thousand cultures before them, warfare created a gender imbalance among the neo-Victorian Aucklanders of the early 23rd. But like so many of those civilizations, the Auckland Empire found itself willing to shed their notions of proper feminine roles in favor of the practical need to survive. When young men became a scarce commodity, necessity found young ladies leaving hearth and home in order to run the engines of war, sometimes even in direct combat.
Possibly the best known example of female warriors from the ANZAC/APAC conflict was the 49th aerial dragoons, known popularly as "Sulieman's Spinsters".
The brigade members infiltrated enemy lines via engineless aerostats inserted into the jetstream. Once over a target battlegroup, they would airdrop onto the backs CiC motherships, where they would use their artificially enhanced psion abilities to infiltrate and disrupt the onboard computer networks for the APAC fleet. Casualties were high, and the few survivors of the war suffered from amnesia due the after effects of the limbic enhancement serum they used on raids. After the war was over, few "clockwork girls" found themselves able to return to the life they had once known, for who wished to turn around the dance floor with a battle scarred girl, her bald skull glittering with brass hardware?
When asked about his thoughts on the matter, Sir Arthur Sulieman (ret. Air Brigade Colonel) would always point out that his forces had all been volunteers, drawn from the ranks of the widowed, bereaved, and otherwise unmarriageable.
