Art Thread: Menagerie RPG

Day… I don’t know, days are starting to blend together in here. I have made modifications to the AEGIS encounter suit where is both fits my own specifications and isn’t obviously identified as AEGIS equipment. I would like the chance to try it out, but I doubt I will ever be given the opportunity… hold on, what is that sound? An emergency klaxon? End recording.(1)

Continued to make some changes to the Charade design (and also Alycia’s but to a lesser extent). This time I did a little backward exploration, figuring out what a hypothetical AEGIS field uniform would look like and then worked from there to iterate into something functional for what Alycia does [stealth, physical combat, electronic warfare(2)]. Utility jacket kept because A) I like jackets as an accessory (see Mercury and Alloy above), B) utility belts are so yesterday, and C) helps breaks up the design into some fun shapes.

The new mask is a take on Cassandra Cain’s (Or would you call it Helena Bertinelli’s? No Man’s Land was a bit of a mess in places.) original Batgirl mask. I’m surprised with how well expressions are working with it. Then again, I’m cheating in places, but similar places the artists of Deadpool and Spiderman comics do, so I don’t feel too bad about it. Could add more elements to it, but I think simplicity works into Alycia’s style more.

Third, what’s up with those boots? Kick pads. Why? Looked cool and I figure Alycia would probably throw some roundhouse kicks and, given the toughness of her opponents, a little cushion so she could kick harder probably would be welcomed (or maybe she loads them with something?).

Finally, what are those things on the back of her belt in the bottom right image? The shock batons. Figured a back holster for them both worked better and would be less troublesome than letting them dangle on her belt.

(1) Have you read my idea for the Menagerie Annual 2? That text would basically be the lead into Alycia learning about the Rook villains breaking out and calling in the rest of the Menagerie. Given how quickly I’m finishing environment decks(3), more details come 2022. :stuck_out_tongue:
(2) Yes, that references two separate things Alycia does and is a pun. I was proud of it.
(3) Speaking of environment decks, I’m one picture away from finishing the first one. Here’s some of the completed ones:
