Scotia's Armor
Added 2017-02-10 15:16:44 +0000 UTCSexy armor/clothes in video-games and comics have always been one of my favorite aspects of fantasy design. I don't care that they're not practical or realistic. 'Fantasy' shouldn't be about 'realism,' which is probably why I'm not a big fan of George RR Martin. I'm amused by how militant some people against skimpy armor, or about the inclusion of any fantasy in Fantasy.
That said, I'm very turned off by any of the justifications of "Oh, skimpy armor makes them more mobile," or "it's to distract the opponent." Skimpy armor exists because it is fun to look at and fantasize about, which is kind of the whole point of fantasy. Again, Fantasy > Realism.

Dope. I'm kinda excited for this game. I hope it is successful and they keep supporting it with more vanity stuff.

2017-02-12 19:09:53 +0000 UTCCan you give me some links?
2017-02-12 17:35:37 +0000 UTCMark have you been keeping your eye on the berserker female(my main) ? If you haven't she looks amazing and some of it looks Like a less sexy version of what Scotia would wears.

2017-02-12 16:49:00 +0000 UTCFair enough. XD
2017-02-10 22:09:40 +0000 UTCI agree that real armor is amazing. I'm really looking forward to For Honor mostly just because of how great the character designs are. I've just got a bug in my butt about those who complain about skimpy armor. No one walks into a pizza-shop and complains about pizzas not being hamburgers.
2017-02-10 21:05:55 +0000 UTCDude, you are on fire with this strip. It fucking kills me when I see people shit on sexy outfits for not being "realistic" but dragons and zombies ARE A OK!
2017-02-10 21:01:50 +0000 UTCI definitely see the appeal, but I'm not a big fan of skimpy armor (or 'platekini'). I think full plate armor is (can be) more aesthetically pleasing.

2017-02-10 20:55:31 +0000 UTCNo. I'm currently on a very strong anti-continuity campaign right now, which is one of the reasons I created Scotia. I didn't like how insular my Mark comics were becoming, and how the jokes were dependent on understanding previous comics and the characters. I find that kind of story telling to be exclusionary and boring. Scotia's going to be as generic as possible to avoid this. She's just a bitchy adventurer girl. I do have a background in mind for her, but I don't want it to be necessary for understanding her comics.
2017-02-10 20:13:46 +0000 UTCPoor girl. XD Some fantasy stories make me roll my eyes at how unpractical it is, but it ultimately comes down to each example. In some places it's fine and I'll never question it, but in a badly written work it can really feel stupid. That being said I like how you draw both legit armor and fantasy armor. Very nice. XD Think she'll return as a rival? XD
2017-02-10 19:59:11 +0000 UTCI'm guessing the chick in armor is a Social Justice Warrior. Kudos to Scotia for shutting her up.

2017-02-10 18:41:11 +0000 UTCAwesome, skimpy armor is there because we dream, the Soldier on Dragon Quest have an awesome armor, if we cannot dream why we are here. Love this one Marky, also that blonde is hot ^^
