Fakku CDC #1: Sky Pirate

0
This is the first Character Design Challenge, suggested by: ARRGH!!!

[color=red]Due on: February 3rd, Sunday 11:59 PM PST[/color]\

Sky Pirate
In an alternate Earth zeppelins and blimps fill the skies above us. Our intrepid pirate is a new recruit in a band of thieves. He/she is young and green around the ears but eager to help out. All the action takes place high above so think about what costume and equipment are needed for such feats. It can take place in any time period.


Rules
  • You must post at least one WIP (Work in Progress) update

  • No over paints or tracing

  • At least 3/4ths of the entire character must be visible

  • Backgrounds are not necessary but are allowed

  • All final designs should be posted before the due date or they won't be accepted

The pants and maybe the vest are supposed to be leather. At joint sections there is soft fabric to improve movability. The pants and the vest are have an inner layer of fur to keep her warm. Hood to cover her head. Glasses for protecting eyes and ensuring eyesight. Leather gloves for better grip.

After seeing Laggi's version I realize that I should've added oxygen supplys and rope.

I kind of forgot to make her a newcomer, so I gave her an oversized weapon. Yes, in my logic that will do it.

I like the notes you guys made, this is what a design page should look like.

Some fast and rough sketches to start the thread with.

I probably won't finish this since I noticed it so late, but I've been sketching a bit on the computer and on paper.

And here's a sketch I did before I fell asleep. A bit of the gear designing:

He has a scarf / turban to protect his head from the sun up in the sky, and a scarf and (optional) goggles to protect his mouth and eyes [size=11](from sand and insects and such)[/h] with, while he's on the ground too. I imagined that at the ground-level, it's gonna be a desert-ey environment so those are needed. So there'll probably be sandstorms and stuff like that.
These are something that the professionals don't all wear, since they're used to it, but the newcomer isn't.

Then he's also wearing an oxygen tank + mask for high altitudes, since he'll be in the sky on a zeppelin. Yet another thing that only the beginner [size=11](and old veterans with bad lungs)[/h] will use since his lungs aren't used to the thin air.

And a grappling hook with a rope on it, to hook onto enemies' zeppelins.

And the smaller sketch on the right shows the kind of a loincloth that I want him to wear. And an optional bullet belt, if I decide to put an firearm on him. I'll probably stick to a sabre though, which I sketched on him on the computer earlier, but not gonna post my computer sketches though.

I'm kinda new at this so ... here's what I had in mind for the theme ... sky pirate ninja version ...

Forum Image: https://www.fakku.net/image-404/images/1385809-A6YYXVD.png


A young new recruit with ninja background.

Lightweight clothes ( she has a very thin vest made of very lightweight mesh of wires ) to make her agile, mask to hide her face. Her sword ( lightweight but very shapr) is rarely used ( supposedly a katanda or a kodachi >.< I sucks at drawing weapons lol ) she's more into hand to hand combat and grappling techniques ( >.< ) ...

Hello all! Here is my crappy version. I invisioned using guns and explosives to be too risky on hydrogen filled blimps, so a technology geared towards bow guns and knives is used. In this case our pirate has a bow gun that can be quickly reloaded ala shotgun. His only high tech device he stole is an ex army pressure suit design to keep the lungs/chest compressed in the thin atmoshere. In the same vain he attempts to keep the pressure going with tied-off clothes on his legs and arms. To keep the rubber in the soles of his shoes from freezing, he tries to cover them in cloth as well. He crafted a poor quality "plate of armor" to try and fend off enemie spears/ arrows (doesn't look very promising though!)

I'll extend it by 24 hours because this was the first CDC. it threw a few people off their guard since there was no warning as to when it'd hit the forum. The date on the post has been changed to reflect this, Future CDC challenges will always go up around 11 to midnight on Saturday. Going to put this weeks art challenge up next week to give people time to prepare stuffs.

Starting next week we'll be pulling all the final designs together for a poll and potentially constructive criticism. This weeks CDC we're going to pass it up because there was no prior warning to the first CDC starting.

Sky Pirates, eh?


Heh- well, I'm a little too lazy to draw anything new, so I'll just dump some of my oldest characters that just so happen to be sky pirates.

It is only now that I see them all together that I realise that they all have eyepatches.



EDIT:


If nobody else posts, does that mean I win?
