Tsol'aa Sentinel

Here is the first of some fantastic new art we are getting for the IRE text game, Achaea. This is a Tsol'aa Sentinel done by Chris Bourassa.

Riluo of Aetolia

I expect the ground to break

I expect the ground to break away roadrunner style...

Greys of Achaea

That...

weeee bit of armor bikini and loincloth? That IS the chain mail =3

Boosteya of Achaea

agreed

armour is meant to cover, not reveal.

Perdynmos of Achaea

Armour

Armour is meant to actually block things. Though I guess it might protect her by serving as a distraction.

Nerezza of Aetolia

That's one way to go about

That's one way to go about it, haha.

Perdynmos of Achaea

"You jab a spear into a goblin fiercely"
Okay, offense seems to be working.
"The goblin moves to attack you, but at the last moment you manage to distract it with your cleavage"
And there's the defense!

Though in reality, you'd probably end up with several key organs perforated and only your heart, lungs, and possibly some of your ribs still intact.

Nimlae of Achaea

Good art, but...

I second Osek. She's wiiide open. >.< I suppose that's deliberate, but there just aren't very many realistically armoured females drawn these days. Chalk up another point for fanservice.

Ada of Achaea

Pauldrons, shinguards,

Pauldrons, shinguards, thigh-high leather boots, bound leather gloves, a metal (?) bra, a leather loincloth and.. a freaky wolf. What more do you want?!

Tarkanian of Achaea

People are so hard to

People are so hard to satisfy, eh?

Neia of Achaea

Agreed, I've seen some

Agreed, I've seen some artisanal works that have well armoured women and still manage to look very good. Modesty is attractive, too. Eschilde's self-portrait for example, I think is very nice. http://www.achaea.com/artisanal/self-portrait-9

Alcreadia of Achaea

Hm.

Love the face, shame about the boobs and thighs.

Lisbethae of Achaea

ditto

I don't see how this is Tsol'aa at all.

Nuraelleen of Achaea

hmmm

Although the work is pretty well done, the armour puts me in mind of some of the Night Elf Hunter armour from World of Warcraft.

Aison of Lusternia

Always loved Tsol'aa race.

Always loved Tsol'aa race. This is fantastic.

Coeur of Achaea

Agreed!

Corda of Achaea

Sirens vs Tsol'aa

This could be more epic if she holds a trident. Sentinels and druids have the option to use spear or trident in Achaea.

Lisbethae of Achaea

hmm

Druids don't use spears or tridents, I'm sure you are thinking of staves.

Tast of Achaea

Heh

Antar of Achaea

WOW

gotta love the tsol'aa!!

Antrn of Achaea

Wolf friend?

Very Nice artwork

Anturn of Achaea

Nice blond

VERY NICE

Dragos of Aetolia

:)

More please

Mortagona of Achaea

:)

Siath of Imperian

Awesome work again.

I find it amusing that people get locked up on none important issues with the art such as body-posture or appearance. It's an -artistic painting-, you can't read 2 pages in any magazine without viewing hundreds of models that's gone through 10 hours of photoshop looking like they have anorexia/got their body fixed on the closest beauty-hospital and they are supposed to be "real" persons.

That said, leave the artist to design his/her work.

Dragos of Aetolia

sex sells

Nuff said

Atarah of Achaea

too little clothing for combat

she must be cold. and yeah, no chainmail.

I mean, people don't always wear chainmail but this _is_ a battle pose.

Vult of Achaea

better

Perhaps she is quicker with lesser armor.

Nixxe of Achaea

maybe she has some sort of new trait

and is mesmerizing people not to strike her ;)

Yushio of Lusternia

holy...

Holy crap!! damn she's essentially naked, but that's awesome, and the only two types of people that woud be mesmerized not to strike her would be... well, three groups of people actually, and they would be depraved straight guys, lesbians, and fashion concienous gays!!! but damn nice artwork, and so tastefuly done too!!

Oleia of Aetolia

I like

the picture. Would love to have that bra, maybe in a different colour though.

Soridan of Imperian

Hmm

Seems more like a human than a tsol'aa, like some kind of highlander. I would've liked to see more of the sentinel animals, too.

Hahar of Aetolia

looks

looks human to me

Salvatrice of Midkemia

Hrm...

I love the artwork but she would do well to avoid pointy objects of all kinds. Her poor wittle belly and breasts shall be under attack far too easily!
