Description It's easy to say who she is now, but who was she? What secrets does she hide?

She finally has a last name. Yay. The only problem is she doesn't use it anymore...

No XD
She pretends to be a man. She works as a soldier, sniper for a poor army - that's why her uniform doesn't have a professional look.

Well, this is just a wild guess, but I think she's in the military. The gun she's holding looks like a sniper rifle (not that I'm blessed with an abundance of knowledge about guns) so I'm guessing sniper. Now the job of a sniper is weaponizing math so I'm guessing she's smart, patient, and methodical. I'm not super sure about much else though.

Lol. None of my characters have last names, although I am not sure if I should fix that or not. Anyway, she appears to be a soldier of some kind, maybe not full military since she doesn't have a uniform on.

sorceress23 In reply to Amasteria [2016-12-21 13:54:41 +0000 UTC]

That depends on the story. Sometimes it's unimportant, useless and makes people confused - especially if the names are created by an author and are hard to say (for example Elvish ones).
Yup. She's a soldier, a sniper and works for army (I know it doesn't look like but it is her uniform XD the army's just really poor. )

Ya. I think some of my names are enough of a mouthful (Zephaniah). That makes sense then, I thought maybe she was a freedom fighter, or somebody of that grade.

She's a badass sniper woman, but her clothing doesn't say military or the like to me.  I'm guessing that she's from a secret organization or vigilate.

Rose is a sharpshooter, member of some (secret?) crime-fighting organisation.  Either this, or he is a hired gun. She looks like a guy now... maybe she is cross dressing because she doesn't want some people from her company to know her true identity.

sorceress23 In reply to Kitanokata [2016-12-21 13:31:00 +0000 UTC]

That's right, she hides her identity and gender.  But she works for an army, as soldier and sniper. Her team fight with monsters (and sometimes with rebels).

sun--shark [2016-12-20 02:26:49 +0000 UTC]

This looks really nice! Love the angle/perspective here.
Rose looks... like a badass!
haha she looks like a sniper of some sort, I wouldn't say for any organized military because of the lack of a really official looking uniform. Maybe for some kind of vigilante/underground fighter group? Judging by her clothes and hair, she's practical, no-nonsense and no-frills. She also looks like she's wearing something like a bulletproof vest, so she must see more combat than just sniping. 

And, she looks a little hesitant here. Reluctant to follow orders, maybe she just doesn't like fighting? Can't wait to see more!

She is a sniper and works for (really poor XD) army. You're also right with combat.
Sure. She doesn't like fighting, but becoming a soldier was her only chance to survive (also that's why she changed her appereance to look like a man).

I really like your style!! 
  Hmm, Rose appears to be a military sniper, maybe part of a special group similar to the Army's Rangers or Navy's Seals, etc.   She seems very young and inexperienced and uncertain as to what she is looking at or for.  I wonder what mission she is on in this picture?  Are there other members of her group staked out on rooftops?  I would guess yes, that she is currently paired on a mission with an older, experienced member of her group who also may be a mentor figure.  She also is very boyish in appearance, which may be due to her military unit's restrictions or may be a personal taste. 
          I really can't wait to find out more about her!!

That's right. Her team deal with the monsters (mainly). Probably in this case too. She's alone on this rooftop, her mates are somewhere in a building (trying to find the monster and make him go out) or on the street below. They communicate with walkie-talkies (which I didn't draw XP) so she's told what to do and how to react.
Indeed, she's in her early 20s. She hides her gender.

Rose looks very tough and I guess she assimilates perfectly to her surroundings. (I am not sure, if she has to hide the fact that she is a woman, or if it is just her style or something else)
I´d guess she is a skilled shooter, nevertheless something is odd with the task she has to perform here.

Interesting character

She's a soldier, a sniper (not skilled yet cause it's just the beggining of her journey ). And yes, her situation forced her to hide her gender.

A-KTheLittleFairy [2016-12-19 18:52:48 +0000 UTC]

She's a sniper (but she's good at combat too), and she works for army.

SunsetBlazer [2016-12-18 15:47:38 +0000 UTC]

Hmm.... I've been curious about Rose since her enrollment picture.  She doesn't care to appear much like a girl, and I wonder if she's intentionally hiding her gender. Perhaps with the field she works in, she wouldn't want to appear feminine.   Does she mask her gender?  Identify as a male?  Or simply a tomboy who can't stand all that girly shit?

Anyway.  Rose is on assignment... and I'm thinking an assassination mission; though whether she's working for military or a private outfit or even acting alone, I don't know.  Maybe she's already shot her target, and feeling remorse for ending a person's life?  The expression suggests that she's feeling something, empathy, even regret?   Whatever it is; I'm very excited to learn more about her!

(( btw, I love your art!! The anatomy is incredible! ))

sorceress23 In reply to SunsetBlazer [2016-12-19 16:09:15 +0000 UTC]

Yes. She hides her identity including gender. I know it doesn't look like but it's indeed a military outfit. Though the army is poor, they spend most of the money on... other stuff I don't think if I should but I plan to explain Rose's story in the next task.
She's empathic person and has some things to regret, so it's possible. I didn't think about what she looks at, when I was drawing
Thanks!

HelevornArt [2016-12-17 11:45:28 +0000 UTC]

Hmm this is intriguing, since she seems to have a complicated background... She is surely a sniper now, in the military perhaps. Has she changed her identity? Is she using another name and posing as a man (has changed her gender)? If so, perhaps she was forced to do this in order to lose her track an evade some dangerous enemies, maybe even fake her death? In any case, she seems to have had a life full of action and danger!

sorceress23 In reply to HelevornArt [2016-12-17 14:44:16 +0000 UTC]

I'm impressed how right your answer is! > But she's still a woman (even if she had enough money there wouldn't be any place or doctor who would help her change her gender. It's really harsh world and the background is really misleading )

Birdhousebirdy [2016-12-17 06:58:13 +0000 UTC]

Rose is definitely a sniper! Looks like one from the modern day and age given the buildings. Her attire seems like military and she's got a bullet proof vest on. Perhaps she's hunting someone at the moment. It could be clouds, but in the background behind the building, it looks like smoke. Maybe a bigger fight is happening below.
She's rather masculine so I have a feeling she's either a tomboy or perhaps transgender? The haircut is nice and fitting for her occupation.

Looks like he could be an Urban combat soldier. Probably specializing in sniping given where he is and what he's holding. Looks like he's either contemplating his past life choices, watching his target walk into range of fire, or just staring of in space.

ReduxBlack [2016-12-14 03:27:43 +0000 UTC]

Is that Mauser or Springfield? Reminds me to Sniper Elite game..but in modern era.

I suppose that she is not a part of an army, judging from her uniform. Maybe a mercenary or a revolution soldier? I guess she is also an expert for this

Maybe i can know more about her if i can see what is she looking at...........

sorceress23 In reply to ReduxBlack [2016-12-16 21:10:37 +0000 UTC]

She is a sniper in the army. I know her outfit doesn't point it out, but that's because the army is really poor. Rose's just starting her career, but by the start of the main story she's a pro
She's probably looking at a monster or movement in the building in front of her (it's not specified, casue I didn't really think of that while drawing). In the next part of training I'll write something about the world for everyone to have an idea of it

Raqonteur [2016-12-13 07:36:44 +0000 UTC]

Well...
The whole outfit screams military.  And I don't think Ex-military either.  I think Rose is still on active duty in one role or another.  It's the armoured Vest/T-Shirt.  A civilian assassin/sniper wouldn't wear that, they would need to be comfortable for a great length of time, often hours until the shot presented itself.  The presence of the vest says they are expecting to take return fire or even close combat with knives etc. 

The haircut is short, functional but still very military.
And yet, I don't see any badges or insignia to denote organisation or rank.
Maybe Rose has gone rogue?

The other thing that stands out for me is the rifle.  Everything else says modern era, but the rifle design is sort of ancient.  And I think that's an important clue somehow.  It's a bolt action rifle that takes a single bullet before reloading.  Even going back as far as WWII Rifles carried magazines to allow for multiple shots (well American ones at least, I think we've all seen the Russian equivalent in 'Sniper At The Gates' ).
I wonder if it's the conditions she's used to.  Perhaps she comes from a very cold/harsh climate such as parts of former Soviet Union (damn! showing my age again LOL), or Alaska or the like.  Somewhere the mechanics of a modern rifle might degrade/freeze up but a simple bolt action would be unaffected.

Maybe that particular rifle has a special significance to her?

Or maybe she just liked to go hunting Deer with her father

sorceress23 In reply to Raqonteur [2016-12-13 16:59:58 +0000 UTC]

That's right. She has a role of sniper (only if needed), but she usually fights in closer combats. Knives and guns - sometimes, but mostly claws, venoms and really strong opponents (monsters).
Oh damn You know so much about riffles! (unlike me XP) I just redrew this one from a photo cause it matched the weapon in my imagination...   In this universe the army is poor, but I didn't think they would take weapons from museum XD Low budget is also a reason why Rose's "uniform" looks like that. Actually I could add badges (it's another good tip from you, thanks )
She never hunted before joining the army. There are barely any animals (they eat a modified goo)

LordCherryPaw [2016-12-13 04:35:43 +0000 UTC]

A sniper for the army?

Although she kinda looks hesitant to use her gun. Is she perhaps shooting someone whom she doesn't wanna shoot? Or something else has drawn attention away from her target.

She's out in broad daylight on a roof, so it looks like she's not too, TOO concerned about bieng spotted...

Rose looks awesome! Since she's using a rifle and is standing on the top of a building, it seems like she's a sniper. Though she's looking off into the distance instead of through her scope, so maybe she's not entirely satisfied with what she does or is conflicted / confused about something in her life. She seems like a quietly confident individual, and I get the feeling that she's really good at her job. Can't wait to see more of her!
