I did the sketch of this baby on paper at the beginning of the school year and really liked it. I had no reference at first, so I basically fixed up the entire thing before coloring it. I'm actually really happy with the result. I wanted to add more realistic texture on things, but I've worked on it long enough, I just wanna call it done. Maybe next time!

Anyway, this is my favorite-of-all-time alien species called the Rikti, and they are from the MMORPG City of Heroes (CoX to include all expansions). I don't want to say anything about them here because their history and relationship has a lot of depth and importance in the game, and I don't want to ruin it. But I can say that most of them are psychic to some extent and I based this one's armor off of a Chief Mesmerist or a Chief Mentalist. The colors are custom because I intended it to be a sort of accurate rendition of my very special own Rikti character whom I have RPed in-game and written some little fics for here and there (none are posted, so don't bother looking).

I've been toying with colors, as you might have noticed form a previous (and terrible) Rikti drawing. I knew I wanted it to be primarily grey and blue, but exactly what shades and placement I hadn't decided. So far this is my favorite, but I still want to add details to make it's armor a tad more unique from the others, and more battle worn.

Well, I gotta go to bed, I hope to get more art done soon!
