Description
Duddle 13... unlucky for some?The armour is based on the stuff from X-Com (known as UFO: Enemy Unknown over here), although it isn't entirely accurate. This is partly because I couldn't find a huge amount of reference (although that might be because I didn't really look very hard), and partly because the stuff I did find wasn't 100% consistent.
Sooo... it's probably a bit of a mishmash. Perhaps I'll give it another shot sometime. I was tempted to have a second character (probably a chap carrying an autocannon or whatever they were called) for this picture, but I remember that I had resolved to keep things simpler a couple of days ago so he got "pruned"

Damn I like those games!
And this is a great drawing! I would really like to colour it if you would agree.

<3 the detail on the rifle and of course, her!
You should draw more xcom pics m8.

She showed up for a grand total of three episodes: Her first mission where most of her rookie squad died (SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST TRAINING POLICY FTW)!
Her second mission where she got promoted to sergeant.
Her third mission was where she was raped by a chryssalid and died from friendly laser fire.
Excellent artwork and a very charming looking character.

Your quit close from the look of the troops of the first X-Com. I'm working to find a way and the program to install this game in my new PC. A so many hour i pass to play thas game

I recommend UFO Extender - it makes the game run more happily than I ever managed to get it with DosBox, it fixes quite a few bugs, and you can even drop in some better music if you're so inclined.

love x-com, trying to find a way to mod the graphics of the first 2 x-com games, I love the game, just want to be able to use custom graphics for the soldiers. And maybe add different aliens too.

She's pretty, let's just hope she doesn't end up in X-Com casualty statistic
(I'm playing UFO Enemy unknown all over again, the life expectancy of my troops is... 3 turns

Nice, but AFAIK chest piece of "personal armor" was bigger.

keep the babes on the ship till more decent armor arrives.

Well its not accurate, but it sure as hell explains why the armor never seems to do anything, besides make your suffer and bleed to death
Regardless, awesome stuff! I never really got to play X-com when I was younger (and when I did, I didnt understand how to play) but now I finally have my own copy and getting a chance to share the magi- alien magic.

us X-commers are a dying breed. Long Live the best strategy game ever made next to Alpha Centauri.

Wow, talk about a throwback to the old games man! This is awesome.
Until a Chrysalid comes, then it's X_X

Well, bugger me sideways with a corricle. I knew those 15-odd years I waited for some decent x-com fanart would pay off eventually.

Here's hoping the next one comes around a bit quicker! XD

Ha, I was just playing x-com the other day... Funny how your mind kind of fills in the details and you're reminded that regardless of what the picture looks like - there are two models for all races and creeds... and it comes down to the girls having ponytails and the guys being Guile.
You look like you're somewhere between the lack of armour and the personal armour - which was just barely better than useless.

The best protection always did seem to involve shooting the aliens first. Preferably in the face. Repeatedly. With explosive bullets.
I was very tempted to draw a character in one of the default jumpsuits. Maybe I'll do that some other time :3

Yeah, even with the flying armour you could still get killed instantly by a shot from the plasma rifle. Which is why you always wanted to send rookies into UFOs first... Possibly with armed High Explosives.

I dunno about master, but I'm certainly happy to learn... :3

I had a love/hate relationship with X-Com, I think this is a great piece of fanart for a great game.

I'm not sure which makes me happier. The fact that you did X-COM fanart, or the fact that you did it so damn well.
In either case, wonderful work. (If nothing else, for paying homage to such an overlooked work) Can't wait for more party members, assuming the Chrysalids didn't get them. *fetal position, rocking back and forth*

I had actually forgotten all about Chryssalids. My memories mainly consist of Ethereals taking control of my guys, usually the ones with big guns that shoot explodey ammo, and then reducing my big tough squad to a smoking crater in a single shot.
There's probably a comic idea in there somewhere

*laughs* That's one thing I've always loved about X-COM, is how it doesn't pull punches. You can be going along great, and one nightmarish mission will destroy your carefully made party. ;o;
Would be interesting to see a comic though!

Nice - makes me think of Haruka Shitow from Rahxephon.
