Request for the artists among you :P

[Venatrix]

Well, now that i have returned to the Beast Wars RPG, i need a picture done for the profile of Venatrix.
I have a picture that was hand drawn by a friend of mine during the Bigbot era, who went by the name of Magic.



The original name of the Generation one character was Lady Strike. She was the very first character i had created with my limited experience in RPing at that time.
The picture has some sentimental value, and so I've given the original a nice frame, and hanged it on my wall above my desk.
Now i want to give this picture a new life.
To do that, i need the help of you artist peeps

I would like having this picture revamped and made to be more like a Transmetal.
I named the picture Venatrix as i tried quite often to revamp it myself, but lack the skill and discipline to make it work.

So, if any of you would like to help me out with this project, i would be much appreciated.
Either revamp the original, or create something completely new, using this picture as an example and use your imagination to make it something new.

I'll work on Venatrix her bio so you know how Venatrix will look like after she turns Transmetal, so you have a good idea how to get it done.
The rest i'll leave to you.

So? Any volunteers?

Lineart, not sure if it's any good, but eh. Gives me some time to rest my wrist.(My hand cramps up sometimes due to an ol' wrist injury from carrying a tree.)

[Venatrix]

Awww.... She looks cute

3 points i just needed to criticize about:

1- No wings. Venatrix will need to fly. I always liked that about her.
But not wings like the kitty Cheetor. Venatrix needs real wings.
I'll find i way to give these wings a good reason for suddenly appear on her.

2- The face. Its a good face, but its not Venatrix.
She needs to be calmer.
At least, that's how i picture a more mature Venatrix, after she participated in a specific event.
It how she'll be for the rest of story.

3- I miss her swords. Her 2 blades and 1 transformable sword (transforms into a rifle) will be replaced by 2 swords that can the the same.

[NaitoKage]

Okay, face fixed. Wings, do you want jet wings or bird wings? Another option could be going Fuzor somehow, or doing like Starshadow did with Blade thruster wings like the Gaia gundam.

[Venatrix]

As for the swords, i like the Sword Impulse's swords.

As for the wings, i think she'll become a fusor. I just have no idea what kinda wings. Bat/Dragon wings, birdy wings etc.

And the face looks good btw

[Venatrix]

Something like this:



but then with beams at both sides from the blades.
And yes, both swords should be able to connect to one- another, forming double bladed sword

accept for the hilts, they should be like of a normal sword.

[NaitoKage]

Fuzor.. so different design then.

Those are back to 48 points for stats, limited to four weapons and one special. Probably would look a bit like Silverbolt design wise. Though.. doing that would require some sort of experimental accident, maybe something involving a CR chamber mishap or something.. Hard to say, and with Sonar gone and Glowstick dead, most the pred scientists are down to Tarantulus and Blackarachnia. Hm.. Maybe get splashed with something by accident while cleaning out Sonar's lab.. I dunno, I'm sure you'll figure something out.

As for the swords, that can be done. Though technically wouldn't it be easier to go with dual beamsabers like Justice rather then Anti ship swords? (Heh, yes I know the impulse gundam.. sadly, I have seen all of Gundam and read alot of the manga/novels.Seed Destiny had nice designs, but man did that story screw up royally.) Maybe just have longer handles to do the whole "Darth maul" thing. It would be easier to put Anti ship swords on a transmetal instead of a Fuzor though.. and beamsabers can be put on anything really.

[Venatrix]

Anti-ship grade beam-sabers are an itsy bitsy little bit overkill, don't you think?

Anti-Maximal/Anti-Predacon would be enough i'd think

And the fuzors are much like the TM's, accept for a bit more fur and 2 beasties, or more, in one disguise.

Edit:

And a really nifty idea just popped in my head about the swords and the wings, and a way to combine the 2.
As the swords can be transformed into rifles, they could be formed so that when she's in beastmode, her swords should be made to be part of the wings, so she could use them in beastmode as well.
Like TM Primal with his guns.
And in robot mode, the swords are installed on her back, between her wings, with the hilts rising slightly over her shoulders.

[NaitoKage]

For game stats we have fuzors more like Normals rather then transmetals. And Impulses weapons are specifically called "Anti ship sword", though I guess they could just be called a Heavy beam saber or so..

[Venatrix]

Well, i think she'll have a transmetal appearance, accept for the fuzor part.
Plus, she wont have a true alternate mode like all the other TM's.
But i'll explain this in her bio when i get to work on it.

[NaitoKage]

Okay then. Added the swords for the heck of it.

[Venatrix]

Nice

Now for the wings and color

[NaitoKage]

You haven't decided on either wing type or colors.

[Venatrix]

Bah! Details details....

Eagle wings with some metal showing at the front of either wing (where the swords would go when she is in beastmode)

Colors:

Mostly black, with some slightly dark grey body parts. And a few dark reddish parts. like maybe a few lines here and there, maybe betwean her joints or something.
And yellow eyes/optics btw.

Use your imagination

[NaitoKage]

Er.. Okay.. but I'm not sure if it'll get approved. In the past, Starshadow wanted to have batwings while being a normal. So.. having birdwings while just being at transmetal instead of a fuzor might be similar to that instance, which wouldn't be fair to her.

I wondered if maybe the wings were some sort of drone bird that became a wingpack.. but combiners aren't allowed either..

I guess just ask OOP, her word is final on any decision anyway.
