Description Working on a new commission for *Prussian 's original character Armineh for Mass Effect Fan fiction. This is before her biotics and implants are visible on her face.

The one on the left is the design I'll be detailing since it's more accurate to what Nina had envisioned, it is also 1 of 3 works I'll be doing on this design.

This is fantastic! And I can't decide which design I like better 'cause both dresses are wonderful! Her headdress's really interesting, reminds me strongly of a certain Amidala from Star Wars. Yeah, sorry, AGAIN the first thing I thought while looking at this brilliant piece of art was: Star Wars. Too bad the characters in the ME games weren't dressed like this. The outfits you design are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo awesoooooooomeeeeeee!!! Why don't you work for Bioware?

Marvelous design, I agree that is has a Star Wars feel to it so I'll just say it has best of both universes

For now it's more Star Wars than Mass Effect for me but only because in ME games we see merely few futuristic dresses designs and none of more exotic ones
As always I look forward to seeing final version ^^

Yeah I know what you mean, all the wardrobes in ME are similar just altered slightly between each species. Understandable though, that would be hard to make new wardrobes for everyone in that game.

I absolutely love the on on the left. It has a very Star Wars feel, but the dress with its colorful spots are more Mass Effect. Beautiful painting as always!

Thank you, yeah Nina's inspiration for the dress was Queen Amidala so it's cool to hear you say star wars with a Mass Effect spin.

Beautiful work as always! There's a real Star Wars-element to her character design. I think the WIP on the left looks regal, but I think the color co-ordination would work even better with the crimson red seen on the right.

It all depends on what type of character she is, of course. I always associate bold colors with someone of power. Seeing as she is so pale, I think a bolder color would work in her favor to bring out the shocking tone of her skin.

But it's just my opinion. Either way, these are beautiful and I'm certain is going to love them.

Thank you
You make a great point about bold colors in contrast with pale skin. These are more so shape and basic color ideas before detailing so the colors on the left dress will be more vivid when done.

I always appreciate ideas and direction!
