Description I got a bit tired of Ria's perpetually changing armour, so... I changed her outfit entirely. Oops.

I think I like it better this way. I intended to give her some actual metallic stuff for protection, but it didn't seem to fit very well. I guess she could wear it underneath all the cloth, but it doesn't really look like it.

Having no armour kinda wrecks her "2nd best armour in the game" status in Mittens.

You can cheat. Her current clothing is armor!
Or you can go with something a bit stingy but effective.

Haha, thanks :3

Sometime after I made this picture, miss hira did a doodle of this character in the same outfit but with armour underneath. I ended up liking that design better, and there's a sketch based on that around in my stuff somewhere... so her armour did eventually reappear after all!

oooh, disappearing reappearing armor. tricky.

I'll need to sift your gallery to find it then.

This is fantastic work, I just love the style, the pose, the detailing. You, my friend, are a genius! haha

Hmm.. maybe her clothes could be some sorta ΓΌber-cloth, armor-weave thingy? And her sword is way too short, with a hand-and-a-half handle like that, it should probably be at least half a foot longer, methinks.

Well, in Final Fantasy they have some damn strong cloth armor for mages, maybe it's some of that.

Very nice design though. Much better than the armor she had on in a "back to back" pose image I remember from some years ago.

Gets a big

this design = awesome. I totally believe she can kick some ass and take names, her awesomeness is the only armor she needs.

Could be just an extra costume.

Yeah, it was kinda getting annoying with her constantly-changing armor. I like it better this way, too.

Chainmail has always been a favorite for "under armor" It is lighter then Plate, and protects better then leather... which can way about the same!

By the way that looks awesome!

if you don't like the plate stuff. Use chainmail or chain nail... what ever it is called. With it it can show the curves of her body easer and can go under what she has on.

Cool pic. like the hair and glasses

As usual, you've done great work with the colors and shading on this one- it really brings out the form of the pic. Not much else I can say, other than positive things!

I was thinking magigical armor, but I like your idea better, i often make characters with that, so why didnt i think of that now? lol

On a side not, I do like how you gave her a full set of clothes rather then the usual female armour kit that really doesn't protect much of anything at all, including modesty.

i always liked using Ria in the first metal mittens because of her second highest melee ability. She was well balanced in ranged spell attacks and melee.

her boots got bigger.

i know you like Ria with glasses, and while i think she's cute with glasses, i prefer her without them when she is in her combat garb.

In the book Sabriel, the main character gets clothes with the armour plates sewn into them, so they look like normal clothes, but aren't really. Also, I think they might have been ceramic rather than metal, but I can't remember.

Anyway, cool pic as always

you could give her some form of magic armor that has no physical form. 'shrug'

"Having no armour kinda wrecks her "2nd best armour in the game" status in Mittens."

Just claim that there are titanium fibers woven in to her clothing.

maybe it's enchanted robes or its woven out of some thing very strong (spier's silk).

Well, rather than "armor", it could be "armor class." She just has groovy dexterity and constitution scores!
