Alright, so here goes. A couple weeks behind but let's see what we can do.
Team: Fantasy
Starting with the idea of creating an armored female magical warriors.
This all started in a world document before even thinking of drawing. This is to get an idea and feel for the character.
To develop a background and lore for them so I can use that to influence the design.
This character is going to be in the realm of fantasy, although I have had people tell me that it sounds sci-fi. So i'll be keeping a check on that.
The Idea;
The planet that the Battle Maiden lives on is a large planet. With one very unique difference. Is as a special ore, that can absorb energy.
With their kind evolving around this energy. They have learnt to absorb and direct the energy. But they can only carry so much of it in their body before they reach critical mass. Some can carry more of this energy than others.
To be able to carry around more energy. Would mean that they would need to charge this ore and take it with them. So they can use the energy elsewhere.
The energy is charged by taking it to one of the 6 points on the planet.
The ore forms in a grid like shape on the planet. Going across the equator and the north and south pole. Where these connect, is where the ore can be charged.
Other alien civilisation can sense this ore and it's unique properties. They wish to study it, for good and bad. Creating weapons, creating stronger technology. But as they do not wish to trade the ore. They believe they have been given it by their gods. To protect them. The other Alien civilisations attack their planet. And try and take what is not theirs.
So to protect their planet. They create warriors. Know as Battle Maidens to protect their world from invasion.
They create weapons and armor with the ore that can hold the energy for battle. The ore would glow either when is used. or when it has energy. Or it would change colour. (Some kind of visual clue). I'm also toying with the idea that when the ore is filled. It before much lighter and stronger. Where when it has no energy. it becomes heavier and weaker. I think it's important for a character to be believable. They must have some flaws or imperfection.
With the energy they can create magnetic fields. Create heat and cool the air.
With these powers they can fly, shoot fire, ice and Create lighting (Possibly more).
There's also the use of the world "Maiden" which is a recently development which gave me the idea of using scandinavian folklore for inspiration when it comes to the design of the characters weapons and armor.
So that's me for now. Time to start the drawing!
