Description An entry by into my recent contest, and also the winner, I was a little thrown by Lara's shoulders beign so broad... but since he did adapt her from being a different character, and a male one from the inital draft, I can't complain, given how thoroughly he changed the rest, and it does make a certain kind of sense that Lara would be larger than Maria...

Now this as Matt rather insightfully captured is the victory ball, a rather self-congratulatory function the military throws every year to mark the day they won the civil way against the outlying planets in hte Sol system, anyone who served in the military at that time is welcome to attend, though it is a formal affair so certain standards of decorum are held to, even in rest the military keeps things neat after all... they are also premitted to bring one additional guest with them, and let me tell you, Maria caused quite a stir when she brought Lara along, Lara's discharge from the military due to her becoming an synthetic sentient entity (though obviously not of her will) came from a tricky time the brass would preffer to forget, but since she was technically still a veteran and for that matter Maria's +1 they could do nothing about it.

And so the pair did dance the night away, the fact that Lara was the one that persuaded Maria to go, and to wear that dress known only to the two of them...

Oh yes, definitely the winner!

We don't get to see them in dresses much, but I really like the 'space opera' look this conveys.

I love b/w line art, and this would be spoiled if it was in colour.

The artist reminds me of the wonderful Autumn Sacura, too.

mmm-hmmm.

Huh... I guess that's true... I never thought about it from that angle, thanks.

Really? Well it's not like I've made any movements to have this one coloured... I guess it does have it's own charming retro feel.

I'm afraid I don't know of them...

The 'look' makes me think of the 'planetary romance' or 'space opera' style - think Frank Herbert, Anne McCaffery, Marion Zimmer Bradley, etc.

Autumn Sacura is a female artist who specialises in very tender, same-sex romance artwork. Mostly of computer game characters, all in this very elaborate, Regency style. Well worth a look.

MMm, I lament that I'm not familiar with those names...

Ohhhh, so does she have her own site or a page on DA?

They're before my time, let alone your time! But they are classic writers in the 'space opera/planetary romance' genre. Think of them as the precursers to Star Wars.

Yep, Autumn Sacura posts here on DA. Go check her out. Dunno if she does commissions, but she's a beautiful artist. This picture of your heroines at the ball is similar to her work.
