I've always liked the idea of Witchblade (a mystical suit of armour worn by various women warriors throughout the centuries), but I always hated the design of the suit, which is basically less than a metal bikini. This is the actual design: [link]

I don't see how that "armour" is supposed to provide ANY kind of real protection. Plus, she's obviously just a sex object. Ugh.

So I wanted to design my own version of the Witchblade armour - a "gritty reboot" of my own, if you will, if I was ever hired to do something like that. So here it is! It still looks exotic and otherworldly, and it's still custom-made to fit any woman's physical needs (beyond just covering nipples), since I was fascinated with the idea of a suit of armour that was meant to work for women only and was designed with them in mind. I wanted to make the armor into something that could enable any woman to become an empowered badass.

Let me know what you think!

*sigh of relief*

That is a VAST improvement. And might actually be (gasp!) practical!! :o

Good work here :D

Excellent!! Good to hear...things should always be practical, yet practicality is something that women are rarely afforded (especially in comics).

Indeed so. For obvious reasons, but I mean, it's getting a bit stale :/

Heh well to be brutally honest I think the "metal bikini" thing is all Witchblade had going for it. XD But anyway I do like your redesign it's a nice change. And I'm getting a hint of Kamen Rider which is always nice :D Awesome work here

Hahaha... well again, I only know of the basic premise of Witchblade, so I don't really know what the quality of the stories is like. I'm not sure what Kamen Rider is, but if you saw some of that in this drawing and liked it, then all the better! :D Thanks bro.

I like it! I feel the same way that you do about chain-mail bikinis. Of course then there's the average fantasy sword. You could show one to a real medieval swordsman and you wouldn't have to hit him with it, he'd just die laughing.

I prefer your version of the armor rather than the original; it does look decent as mean of protection. :thumbsup:
