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"

X-Com 'was' and 'is' a WIN
Really nice piece, since she's holding the standard 'assault rifle' , the next character could hold some alien's plasma weapons?

Awesome. She's so cute with her large, menacing gun.^^

Do you know what the main thing is about this that makes it undeniably favourable? She's sporting the original rifle! What is there not to love? Well... maybe if she was sporting a plasma pistol in the other, this would be darn near perfect, but I'm picky that way.
Seriously though, nice job. For a game so brilliant, it's kinda sad that there's not enough fanart out there for it. I understand fully about there being a lack of real reference too. Yet this is a cool rendition of the personal armour. Inspires me to take action too.

I always thought the default rifle was really cool looking... just a shame I hardly ever used it because everything else seemed way better
And yeah, it does make me a little sad sometimes that some games get a bajillion pieces of fanart yet others get nada. I like to try to pick less popular things sometimes and even it out a little :3

Hehe, same here.
As for the default rifle being forgotten early... lol, I created a character with the mindset that he didn't fully trust the effectiveness of laser technology or the use of alien weaponry, so he ended up taking the default rifle wherever he went, with a default pistol as sidearm. It was only until the Mutons started showing up that he had to swallow his pride and went with something that packed more punch. Though he still carried the default pistol as his sidearm when he was commander of the forces that raided Mars. It was still good enough against Ethereals at least.

I love you, someone else that plays X-Com. Only if they had you as the artist for that game back then.
You reinvented the style a little but it works very well.
