Description
YES I am blatantly copying *WingedHippocampus , whose Hunter Files can be found here and here .Strawberry's design is based on a picture Misty drew of me as a Reploid(I've no idea why, she just did), so of all my characters she has the closest physical resemblance. (Only way hotter.) Her name was also originally Ichigo (because I like the sound of the word), but I eventually decided there was no damn reason for her to have a Japanese name and changed it to Strawberry. (Even I'm not immune to weeaboo moments, but I got better. :3) It suits her, really. Outside of battle, she may also be the goofiest little thing I've ever created. X3
That emblem behind her is the Hunter logo, and the only part I didn't draw myself; I just cleaned it up. I was trying to make it look like a military file photo because, um, it is. (That's also why the highlighting is odd; I was trying to indicate a strong camera flash while at the same time indicating that little of her armor is highly reflective. It didn't go so well. I DID imitate EVE to a degree on the white parts of the armor, and I think that went best.)
This is also about the third armor design for her; it seems to get simpler every time, for practicality's sake. (For instance, she once had those little wing flares on both sides of her boots, but I realized that with huge Reploid boots the ones on the inside ankles would only get caught on each other. o_o) The simplifying may be a sign of maturity as a designer, or just a sign that I'm getting lazier and lazier. :3
Next I'll likely do my data analyst Reploid, or maybe the pop star turned Hunter. Also, the background is a separate file, found here if by some chance anyone wants it.
Need to draw one of her wings extended that I'm willing to submit.
Mega Man X and Reploids (c) Capcom; Strawberry and art (c) me, do not alter, reuse, or distribute, blahblahblah.

Very cool, I love how shiny her armor is. ^^
I know what you mean about those weeaboo moments with naming characters. D: Most of my characters have Japanese names (I only stopped doing that... less than a year ago?) but I've had them for too long or use them too much for changing their names to even be an option. D:

In her case, most of the characters in the RP already called her Strawberry or Berry as an affectionate nickname, so it was an easy change. ^^
Thanks!

I actually like the reflective effects you used on her armor, and the coloring on the visor is also nice. I like this, it's really smooth and polished looking. "Strawberry" is such a cute name. XD

She looks so sweet and it does look like a flash picture with the dark shadow behind he like that. I like how you included a bit of her reflection on the tile floor as well. Makes it more realistic.
The bio is also very interesting, I'm not to familiar with mega man, but I'm catching on. They should probably find a way to solve Strawberry's electricity problem, sound dangerous. Although I suppose a well rounded character needs some sort of weakness. Great job.

StarlitSkvader In reply to Swish42 [2009-05-31 04:44:02 +0000 UTC]
Yep, that and the space between her wings are severe weaknesses; there's a story reason for her conductivity, the weak spot in her armor is pure logic.
Thanks! ^^ I had fun with the floor reflection.

I love her adorable freckles, and you did a nice job with that simple little visor streak that shows it's transparent. I like the lance and the adorable little wings, and it's a great and unique armor design. You did a good job of making her look feminine even though she's flat-chested. It was a good idea to only have the wings on the outside of her boots, and I love how they look on her helmet, too.

StarlitSkvader In reply to tearra [2009-05-31 04:48:31 +0000 UTC]
Yeah - the second armor design was this
It's not so much 'flat chested' as 'armor reigning things in'; as noted above, I did not want to go with the absurd boob-shaped armor canon female Reploids have (or worse yet, armor everywhere by spandex over the boobs seen in one or two o_o). She IS rather pear shaped, though, not terrible busty. I keep accidentally creating manga-style characters with decidedly non-manga figures. I think it's subconscious. Or something.
Thanks to saying that about the visor - I spent forever fiddling with the transparency of those layers. I think the end result is one of my favorite effects in the picture though!

I never thought of the robot chassy as being 'over' anything so much as actually being their body...

StarlitSkvader In reply to tearra [2009-05-31 13:36:29 +0000 UTC]
Ahh. See, I've always thought the 'over', probably triggered by the first classic game confirming that the armor DOES come off. Not many people sat all the way through the end credits to see that, though, and both MMClassic animations seemed to forget about that. XD (Hell, the American one lost track of the fact that Rock and Roll are ten, or the equivalent.)

Yeah, the personality is different, but it's sort f fun to have one character with a physical resemblance. XD Maybe I'll draw myself in her armor sometime.

Awesome. Once I get Farren, Scuff, Jacqueline, and maybe a centauress or two, we'll have a whole set!
I love teh shinies. Especially on her gems, and the shine on the floor is great, too. I may have to gank your background for Jackie (but Farren's pose is already suggestive of boxes, someone musta had to hunt him down after he refuses, lawl)
