White Shadow sketch dump: number 16 - the one that took all week.

Hm. Interesting to see how little time I have to draw stuff during the week. Ah well, I'm still gonna keep busting these out

This one's continuing the process of suiting up, then explaining a few more things in better detail. There's still more stuff I need to design, such as the bracer interfaces and the HUD in the goggles, but those are for another sketch dump.
On the bracers: they're usually smooth as you see them drawn, but the surface is also a form of touch pad/screen. It's not activated through collision or bumps so there's no need to worry about that. Felicia must sweep her fingers across the surface to activate it, much like the process of unlocking an iPhone (never thought I'd reference an iPhone while talking about White Shadow).
Once active, the menus illuminate with a low-light blueish glow, and the surface areas where the buttons are raise up from the surface slightly. This is a Haptic Surface, and can be seen in this video of the Nokia Morph concept phone:

(oh look, another phone reference!)
In fact, much of the tech in that vid is probably in the bracers since the technology in the White Shadow universe is at that level. Stories set in near future = yay ^_^
