As I have said, it looks wonderful.
And I like your Ariel. He looks wonderful.

Ah, the massively inaccurate wiki. Better off not reading it.

Yes you can. Because only the uninitiated need such things. We die-hards go straight to the source materiel. In this case, the final chapter of Mission of Honor in which Admiral Harrington neglects to inform the BBOD for HMS Imperator that Beth is coming aboard with her. Hilarity ensues.

What, you don't think a Manty cruiser captain can compete with them?

Are you kidding? Have you ever seen Stormtrooper armor stop anything?
And I think a Jedi/Sith would be hard-pressed to defend themselves against a pulser solely based on volume of fire. Even a pulser M9 or M7 side-arm has a cyclic rate of a couple hundred rounds per minute. You pull up an M32 or an M19 shoulder-arm at 400+ RPM it's Game Over. You start talking belt-fed Tribarrels then we're talking overkill.
And considering some of the crazy-stupid costumes I've seen before, I don't think RMMC Powered Armor is exactly unfeasable. I've seen Samus Aran's armor on this very website, and putting it on big enough shoes shouldn't be a problem at all. Admittedly, the 'active camo' skin might be a bit out of people's league for the moment.

Apples and oranges I guess. But I don't think that Stormtrooper armor could do a damn thing against an explosive pulser dart at a couple thousand meters per second.
As for lightsabers, I figure any beam that can burn through a bulkhead blast door could burn up a tiny 4 millimeter dart faster than any damn thing. Wouldn't be able to do the whole 'return to sender' thing like they do with a blaster, but still, I think the blade would be able to stop a few, before the deluge of exploding spikes of f*cking death turn them into hamburger.

Definitely pretty good, the work's polished and consistent - and she really has the sense of being someone deserving of the name of "Soul of Steel".

You are the first I've seen to have drawn Elizabeth... and Ariel. For me you did good in capturing her. As for traditional Manticoran noble clothes, they are described as tail-coats. Thomasthecat has a picture describing it [link]

Glad you like it!
I remember seeing that before, but I wasn't sure if the monarch's outfit would look significantly different than regular noble's clothes, so to play it safe I just gave her the Grayson dress. It's very easy to envision, since it's just like Honor's dress except different colors.

True, Weber never went into much detail about the noble dress for Manticore, just said tailcoat and trousers done to the colors of the family.
