Description Revamped the sash for the ref sheet.

Copy pasta from the sketch> :

Remember when I had Maria as some sort of mythical entity? (or rather portrayed as one by the nearby townsfolk)

I'm bringing it back. I mean, an immortal cyborg needs something to do with her time right?

In all seriousness, Maria, as an immortal (practically), does have a fascination with death and how it affects regular people. The task that eventually falls upon her is burying the remains of people who cannot afford to do it themselves or the bodies of criminals (in this universe nobody wants to deal with those because, well, criminals) She kind of buries them the same way, regardless because she values life so much.

She doesn't remember her life before she became a cyborg, so she doesn't know or remember how it feels to be "normal". She's a firm believer in living life to the fullest, because people unlike her have actual lifespans.

The scythe she's holding is based on a German War Scythe. She has an outfit that goes over this armor resembling a Plague Doctor outfit, but I wasn't up for it right now. I'm going for a grave-digger vibe instead of a plague doctor, though. And the mouth doesn't hang open all the time. This is to show the teeth. And no, that's not gold.

Trivia:
*It is very possible to hurt or kill Maria. Knowledge of her inner biomechanical structures would help.
*Maria doesn't need to eat, sleep, or even breathe. She does, however, need to drink. You will almost never catch her consuming solid food.
*Her left hand is bionic, pictured here> 
*The bionic hand had a set of retractable claws, and the legs have three different shapes: one for speed (the one pictured), one for climbing, and a human-like shape, pictured here> . Around others, she tends to use the more human shape to make her guests feel comfortable.
*Maria refuses to fight in any wars or battles; past experiences have not turned out good
*Because of the insane amount of metal in her body, Maria physically cannot swim. She's too heavy!

This is amazing!! Your art is very impressive!!
Do you have any front view pics on the bird-like legs? I can't seem to get the front views down, what with the different joints and all...

Haha, thanks! <3
Unfortunately no, only a flipped stance on her ref . But it might help to look at the hind legs of quadrupedal animals to get an idea of what you're going for. I tend to smoosh them together with features and the structure of human legs.
Hope this helps!

Thanks!

But, 'bird kaijin'? If that means monster, she's a human based cyborg. That bird feature is just a mask.

Oh, Kaijin is Japanese for "monster person," like the creatures you see in super sentai, kamen rider, & metal heroes. Sorry, I thought the face was her actual head.

The mask reminds me of Horus:

Any relations to that?

Tytoquetra In reply to Skwang [2015-09-01 12:00:24 +0000 UTC]

The only relation is that they're both falcon-based. I'm familiar with the god, but she has no relations to Egypt, their mythology or their gods.

Either way, it is a very eye-catching design.

Aaah! Nice! Wow, the mask looks so intimidating. I need to take notes. The armor design is super cool.

Thanks!
I think making the teeth golden instead of black makes her look a lot scarier than the first rendition. She wouldn't look as scary if the mouth were closed, and that's kind of what I was going for.
I'd love to have this armor, for realzies.

Thanks!

Black and white metal, especially. :V When I made the first render of the armor I liked how the golden accents looked.
