Description Eris

A character inspired by the games Kinetica and Metroid, and any other games with girls in robots.

Her robot suit is supposed to be translucent in areas so you can see her through it....

The suit was drawn in Macromedia Fireworks, and everything else was painted freehand in Photoshop with a wacom tablet. Not really my favorite piece, but it was definitely a learning experience.

Let me know what you think of it.

Ciao.

That is awesome. I was wondering what eris meant, because i assumed it was Samus until i read it. Great job.

Eris is the name of a greek goddess of strife and discord. There is also a Samus version of this piece in my gallery, which was made after the fact.

This is beautiful...I can see where the metroid style came from but I can't see the Kinetica. O_o unless it's a completely different Kinetica we're talking about.......But anyways. 100000000 out of 10. XD

I'm currently compiling next year's Discordian Kalendar and would like very much to use this image (or a variation) for one ofthe 5 seasons. The work would be credited and include a link to your site. The Kalendar is released annually from my cabal's site as a free pdf download.

Would you be interested in being featured? Please email cuckootrailcabal/at+gmail+dot\com if you are. Thanks!

wow that's very cool, great image. I love the armour suit and the way its lines look. I don't know anything about Fireworks but it looks like you can get some very cool effects with it.

Great job

Wacom Tablets start at about $100, although you might find a deal though eBay or somewhere online. You can see the different models at wacom.com.

This is..... damn cool. hah.
Very good anatomical work, I must say, and the shading is cool. I don't quite think the suit looks transparent, but it makes for an awesome effect nonetheless, those lines and such. My first thought was of her being an android or something herself, and this was her design. Or something.
Anyways, that's very cool.

Kablakistan2 [2003-10-03 03:16:08 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I quite like it too.
I like the idea of women in robot suits. Interesting though, a twist for this one.
In metroid I didn't know she was a woman. actually I have only played smash brothers and they never mention it. So when someone told me she was a chick I thought that was cool. Unexpected.
Given my feminist leanings I think it is interesting.

And then in this case, she is revealed as such. Does metroid mask the fact that she is a woman on purpose?
Does she have a name?

And, one more question, does this Eris have anything to do with the golden apple and discord and all that?

disenchanted In reply to Kablakistan2 [2003-10-03 23:02:14 +0000 UTC]

At first I just liked the name 'Eris.' It seemed to fit the trend of cyborg/robot girls - Samus, Kos-mos, etc. But yes, I though the touble-making characteristics of the goddess fit the image well, and that's how I decided on Eris.

Congrats for being the first one to point that out.

As for Metroid, all I really know is that she takes off her helmet at the end of the first game, and that's when you find out she's a girl. Not sure what the motivation behind it was, but probably to get more teenage boys to buy subsequent games.

Hey there, followed you from the forum. This may not be your favorite piece but it's going into my favs... I'm a fan of metroid, 3d, and chicks...now only if it had a keg for a backpack. I love how the smoothness of the suit accents the smoothness of the female form. Also, the color resembles a nice clean skin tone.

Wow, that's beautiful! I really admire the way you fused styles, the realistic digital painting and the wireframe 'cyber style' armour, since they work together so well. Love the sunken bevelled barrel on the gun.

Haha, very 'cut away diagram' feel to it, and it's interesting to see so clearly how she does actually fit (especially considering the tight proportions those female armour suits always seem to work to - could be a bit embarrassing if any of them slacked off their training regime over winter or something)

Great job on the face and I really dig the armour Like the close-up in the background.. kinda gives that who game-character-profile feel to the whole thing.
