Description Its Erika Itsumi from Girls und Panzer as an anthropomorphized/ mecha musume King Tiger .

The Strike La Panzer series:
Darjeeling fav.me/d8jq4ku

Why "Strike La Panzer"? after seeing Kill la Panzer , I recognized Kill la Kill had superficial similarities with Girls und Panzer.  In addition, World of Tanks, ( a game I frequently play due to Girls und Panzer and the reason why I have almost all of the Oorai and Kuromorimine tanks in that game ) has a system where achievements (Marks of Excellence) are represented by tick marks on the barrel . Three tick marks indicate extraordinary skill... kind of like the stars on the Goku uniforms of Kill la kill... As a result the neurons in my brain went crazy and I envisioned a crossover where Girls und Panzer had a story-line and rules similar to kill la kill. I mean, in both instances: the protagonists and antagonists are related, their mothers aren't winning any mother-of-the year awards, both have that one supporting characters fawning over the protagonist, and both 'lolis' have something to do with flight (Katyusha from GuP represents the Russian tanks... which invented a flying tank well not really, but it looks funny en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonov_…

However, instead of Goku uniforms, this bizarre crossover would utilize mecha-musume exosuits as a means of combat. Since I had artbooks of Strike Witches and Kancolle, I used them as inspiration (and I couldn't pass up the opportunity of giving her the 'white tiger'  motif and cat ears :3 ).  I also imagined Erika would be the equivalent of Gamagoori in Kill la Kill in this bizarre crossover.

Since I drew inspiration from: Girls und Panzer, Kill la kill, World of Tanks, Strike Witches, and Kantai Collection, I guess the series would be called "La World of Strike Panzers collection" xD

This is the first time I drew a mecha-musume type of character, so the armor kind of looks tacked on her, rather than wearing it... Her left arm is supposed to be like the armor plate of the Tiger II, while her legs are supposed to be like the side armor and wheels. How does she reload with no visible ammo storage!? its magic! I don't know xD

I initially experimented with all caps German calligraphy ( like the block Kanji in Kill la kill) but it looked weird. I will do more of this in the future... but in the meantime, expect more fantasy-styled works from me in the immediate future.

Erika originally belongs to Girls und Panzer

I drew this on January  2015 and was not aware of that game. I drew this on the heels of watching kill-la-kill and playing world of tanks when they introduced the marks of excellence awards :V

And there is more to soon to come :3

Which crossover specifically, The GuP x KillLaKill, or GuP x Strike Witches crossover? (There were at least 3 or 4 series/franchises which inspired me to do this xD )

My only criticism (if you want to hear it) is that her boobs are a bit too high.

I love to hear criticism if it is valid

I see what you mean with her breasts, they do seem a bit high...

Thanks for telling me
