Description dear god cecily that took SO LONG to finish oh god if i have to colour that mulleted shehemoth one more time i swear i will....

ahem.

Kit Bates, my SDL fighter, duelist, OCBC character and all around git. She belongs in the Thief's Honour storyline, along with Kelsey, Dacia, Netta, and the Cat as one of the main players. As i intend to use her more frequently, i figured one of my legendary epic-reference-sheets-of-the-apocalypse was timely. She got me started and wouldn't let me stop.

So here it is. everything you need to know about my horrible lass. if there's anything else, note me.

IF YOU WISH TO DUEL HER, NOTE ME. i am extremely eager to test her out.

Kit Bates (c) me.

wow, thankyou so much! it's such an honour......she's one of my favourites. she's a bit unstoppable when it comes to sketches, she won't let me put my pen down.

There's just something about lanky longfaced women that are so much fun to draw

She has the body of Claudia Black from Farscape, until you get to her face. XD I really love this reference sheet- it's epic and inspiring.

She is actually kinda pretty when she smiles. ^^

wow! thanks so much......

and awww, it always makes me feel so happy and warm when people find her pretty. because somewhere deep under all the gruff and buff is someone who really does want to know if her bum is big in this.....mind you, she will gut you if you say yes.

I admit it was a little disconcerting to keep seeing her with her 100% man-face sporting boobs... XD

That's the best part about Kit - i can ignore gender positioning with her, because she refuses to pick a side. she proudly sports boobs and a jawline to rival Mel Gibson. i guess i just like to keep people guessing.

this one sort of wrote itself - kit is technically only the sidekick in Thief's Honour, but somehow she took over the entire story and is romping gleefully through the plot, shanking folk in the face.

zJoriz In reply to manic-pixie [2008-04-10 12:51:18 +0000 UTC]

So she took the sidekick concept too literally? ^_^

I have an OC that might be a fair match btw: [link] . Dunno if a fight would last long or who would win, but they would certainly annoy the crap out of each other, of that I'm sure.

well.....if you feel like it, make up an SDL character sheet (or you don't even have to, it can be off the books) and we can have a brawl!

This was great! I loved all the little trivia and fun facts about her I can see how it took a long time, but this is really detailed and gives noobs and old fans alike a nice glimpse into the fighting fury that is Kit.
On a somewhat unrelated note, Kelsey looks adorable here

Awesome work!!

Awesome characer sheet and even more awesome character! The character sheet is probably one of the most detailed one's I've seen, and she is definetly my FAVORITE thief character, out of all the thief character's in the world.
She's masculine, alright, but there's a 'unique' beauty about her. And to me, 'unique' beauty is the best kind.

nice character sheet
but.. his face is totally a man's face..
i first thought it was a man
then my thought is that he/she is transgender

manic-pixie In reply to Simbelmyne-Toreador [2008-03-31 11:35:37 +0000 UTC]

Actually, she was meant to have a more masculine face. In terms of structure and actual anatomy, her face isn't really broad enough to be a man's with her build - but it's angular and square-edged in an attempt to make it mannish. Kit is a woman, she was just born angular and gawky. My goal with Kit is to have a woman in a masculine role - she is capable of being female, and acting like a woman, but chooses not to.

Simbelmyne-Toreador In reply to manic-pixie [2008-04-01 01:11:25 +0000 UTC]

in that case, you did an excellent job taking every consideration in the design of the character as you wanted it to be (sorry if i dont make sense XP im not a 100% english speaker)
it just made a little noise to me because if you only see the face you swear is a man, and if you only see the body you swear is a woman, with muscles in her muscles but a woman non the less XD, and together is like the head doesnt match the body.
but then again O_o unfortunately there are women like that XD

manic-pixie In reply to Simbelmyne-Toreador [2008-04-01 01:52:34 +0000 UTC]

i don't think it's too unfortunate there are women who look like Kit. girls like that have their own beauty, kind of like a charging rhinocerous - awesome and, if they act like kit too, bloody scary.

Simbelmyne-Toreador In reply to manic-pixie [2008-04-04 04:47:29 +0000 UTC]

well i say unfortunate 'cuz i wouldnt like to be or look like that XP
im kinda tomboy but i like to still look like im a girl despite of my boobs
but yeah O_o that kind of girls still have their thing
its not much as beauty, i think its more like the powerful look
'cuz ahmmm a charging rhinocerous doesnt look pretty, it looks cool and mighty
but again, is like seeing a man with boobs o.O thats all XD

XD! this is the longest conversation i've had with DA comments
