Hellion - ShiAn - Completeby *Eriance

Manga & Anime / Digital Media / Drawings

Completed Character design. High contrast color scheme, but i personally like it that way. Finished this relatively quickly compared to my usual CG.

EDIT: Raised the resolution, and added some additional designs:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info:

Shi'An is a game mod/comic character for Hellion I made as a cameo for my Megaman character Shade. The character is made female to fit the role and story better. The color scheme has been lightened up from the old Black-Red Gothic color scheme to reflect the new role.

She is a "Blade-dancer", a special breed of demon warrior that serves the Zhang Empire within the Hellion world - Shi'An is one of the 2 that serves the Empress.

Design notes:

Shi'An has 4 swords, each one is engraved a emblem of one of the 4 noble mythical Chinese animals - Dragon, Pheonix, Qirin, and Tortoise (I definitely need to redesign the Tortoise and Qirin emblems - they look like they're farting out waves and fire

). They have no special attributes aside from being magically enhanced to be extra heavy-duty and sharp.

The armor is made of "Zhang Ceramic", a light weight armor made from special clay. It's reinforced with tough fabric. The inspiration is modern ballistic ceramic armor. This armor however, has no special properties aside from being light weight. It's made to protect only from light cutting damage and short-range arrows. By no means does it make the wearer a juggernaut.

The 2 patterns below are for the armor. The Left is the simplified version I will use for the mod or comic (if either ever happen). The one on the right is a more traditional Chinese "Hexagon-Y" that I originally planned to use. However it's easy to see how drawing that pattern in a comic is impractical, so i went with the simpler one.
