Description Roxy is based on a character I made for a SLA campaign run my my good buddy Jim Moore. She's a Human Media Operative, basically tasked with providing fly-on-the-wall 24/7 coverage of her Squad for sale to the highest bidder on the Vid.

Although she works in a predominately video-journalist/war-photographer capacity, she is combat trained and has painstakingly slaved a series of small 'flybee' cameras to the end of her custom shotgun for that definitive kill-shot. Thanks to a combination of a spikey but endearing personality and a keen awareness of the persuasiveness of her own looks, she works well on either side of the camera.

When she's not kicking ass and shooting frames, Roxy is a regular patron of The Pit, the ultimate nightclub; and has a penchant, or more accurately, an intimate relationship with the sexual halucinogenic 'Personal Interest' or PI for short.


SLA Industries © is a meaty RPG of future-shock distopian cyber-punk horror from the mind of Dave Allsop, who you might like to learn also has a dA account, and can be found right here: [link]
I urge you to look upon his works and be amazed/horrified. And also to check out SLA Industries.

Dammit, it's like the ladies on Rage that I like, those goofy ass outfits with lovely hair and builds just fascinate me.

That is '90s Dave Allsop to a T, and I mean that as a compliment.

Are you working as a freelancer, Yvash?

Certainly trying to, but things haven't been easy lately, heh. Your Journal advice has been invaluable, and I'm currently building a new portfolio to see if I can get any interest from the likes of WotC, Games Workshop, Blizzard or pretty much any games company that'll have work from me!

I'm in the process of re-establishing Nightfall Games/SLA Industries and we're looking for new artists. I liked what you've done on the 4 SLA-styled illustrations. I can't guarantee commissions just yet, but I might be interested in using you in future. SLA art is making a bit of a shift, and we're only looking for 'greyscale' rendered art (as opposed to black/white inks and straight pencils).

I think you're character illustration sketches are quite strong, but I'd need to see more finished art. Are you looking for critiques on your work?

thanks,

Dave

I would definitely be interested in creating SLA/Nightfall art; it's been an immensely inspiring universe and a potential chance to help visualise it would be amazing!

As for fully rendered versions of my sketches, I'm just now starting to colour up a large backlog of pencil linework and I could very much do with some critique. There's a few older rendered pieces in my gallery but I'll try and get a current WIP into my scraps tonight.

Media package tart!
I love roxy, but do think some hot or bubble gum pink should feature in the colouring

I have just read the quotation of "booblet pocket" and adore it! I love this whole outfit, this girl has series Tank Girl style, since I'm a sucker for tops with arm gloves, gotta show my fondness

Total awesome-sauce!

yvash In reply to shiverz [2010-06-26 09:21:22 +0000 UTC]

I won't lie and say Tank Girl didn't come to mind when I was drawing her - though I think that's something a lot of punky skin-head girls have to live up to! And yeah, I've always dug on arm-gloves too

This is hands down one of the best fan art for SLA I've ever seen. The style is great and the details are very reminiscent of the orogonal art by Dave Allsop. Nicely Done!

Thank you! From someone as dedicated to creating SLA art as you I take that as a massive compliment!

This one's very interesting, I love how you've put a lot of thought into her and her interests. I'll have to blab about the small details, which I love, love, love! You got me intrigued, and I want to see more of the same stuff

Thank you! The smell of fresh-cut grass has been known to put her into a mild state of euphoric shock (grass, like all real plant-life, is an outrageously expensive luxury on the planet Mort, home to SLA Industries).

I like the booblet pocket nominally to flash a singular tata at those she videotapes for a reaction by the way your always win with the details

I totally knew you'd pick up on the flash pocket
She calls it 'the persuader'. It usually does the trick!

Thanks! She also really enjoys sweet pastries. I don't know if that's relevant, but there you go!
