Alyssa in Paragon Armour, holding a Punisher Rifle!
Added 2017-06-15 00:37:11 +0000 UTC
Hey everyone!
This is the first piece of custom artwork I've commissioned!
I worked with a very talented artist called Alan Vandall to come up with this, and I think he did a great job!

I hope you don't mind, but I've commissioned a cousin of mine, a budding artist, to do a picture of John fighting the Astral Monsters, just to hopefully get them out there for those of us WANTING to have a reference for the Lovecraftian horrors. I haven't seen any art for them, so I just... kinda thought we could use them. Not sure how long it'll take the cousin, but I'll post it later.

This is really excellent, fine job on the Paragon armor too.

Beautiful. Alyssa looks really great and I like the bullpup design on the rifle. Looks awesome

I like the way you think. Just watch for some of the on-site censors re the tentacling part

Very nice but I would prefer less realism in the face like more of ninjartist's work. Plus most of his work shows a whole lot more curves. Could be you need to ditch the armor for now and just give us DD bombshells. Alyssa in her schoolgirl outfit, cheerleader or even business suit would be much better. BTW if you need more talented artists check out deviant art. I've commissioned 3 artists to do work for me in the past. Last request, give us a shot of Jade nude and dripping wet walking in shallow water towards the beach at the vacation planet they were on. Then her tentacling a harem of naked maliri would be sweet.

Tefler: I have three questions that are bugging me.
First: By my calculations the Invictus, after the power coupling and capacitor upgrades will have 12 (the original Ashanath core) x 1.3 (the Progen core upgrade—additional 30%) x 1.5 (the progenitor power couplings and capacitors—additional 50%) x 3 (Three power cores now instead of one) which would equate to about 70.2 times the original power core of the Invictus. Or something close to the ENTIRE original Nexus fleet including the Battleship and the Mining vessel. Am I correct?
Second: The upcoming weapons load out will be:
2 singularity drivers
2 nova lances (I hope you read my post on attaching anti-grav tubes to narrow the beams and focus that energy better)
24 photon laser sets (16 on top deck, 8 on underbelly) which are twice as powerful as the current (Is that per tube or per 3 tube set? And, what is the power rating compared to Terran Std. now? And will the new heat sinks increase the power even more?)
64 pulse cannons (full coverage - 32 in any direction) (How much more powerful after Dana's planned tweaks?)
16 gauss cannons (on underbelly) - 10m length, fast tracking turrets, hits harder (+barrel, +power) (How much more powerful after Dana's planned tweaks?)
6 heavy cannons (topdeck only) - double barrels, lighter so can turn and track faster. - 40m length (How much more powerful after Dana's planned tweaks?)
Third: Can we have a small refresher on the plate armor on the Invictus? I know the one shaped Invictium plating is twice as tough as the original and that Invictium reflects 35%, absorbs 60% and allows 5% through to cause damage." But what does the addition of Maliri Crystal Tech to to the mix (I know 2 inches is equivalent to 1 foot of original Titanium plating....soooo: 12 inches is 6 times more resilient??? plus the reshaping? Need some Terran Equivalents please.
Also:
1. please consider multiple warheads in each of the gauss and heavy cannon shells...initial explosion after plating defeat an outward blast to strip off plating and then a second charged explosion for penetration in the same shell?
2. The advanced design torps I mentioned before.

Agree I was looking for the lioness hologram aswell

Great Look, Thanks

what art? to busy looking at Alyssa to notice any artwork
Wookey

It's to represent her metaphysical balls of steel.

We are still looking forward to the Tigers of Terra ch 2, Stacey B
Maybe Tefler can engineer them meeting the real thin at the Awards Ceremony.

I love the art

Absolutely love it. But I am confused, why does Alyssa need a cod piece? I can see it being flowing around front nice and smooth like a pair of panties....but a cod piece bulge?

Stacy, The tax collector's ship might be more interesting than the actual tax collector...
2017-06-15 21:41:09 +0000 UTC
As for myself I miss the lioness head on the shoulder pad... But I like it. I'm waiting of for the other ones now...
2017-06-15 19:29:01 +0000 UTC
a beautiful gun indeed < sigh of longing >

Does this mean I have to start getting the character's I make up art work too? The tax auditor might be a bit dull, but the Tigers of Terra may be more exciting LOL

Anyone else get a XCOM vibe??? I think it's awesome. Good pick for the artist tefler. Looking forward to seeing the twin's ;)

Looks amazing, but I hope you don't mind me pointing out a few thing not matching my imagination :-)
Alyssa’s hair could be longer, it might however just be behind her back.
Alyssium is said to be glossy white with sparkling silvery flecks, it looks more polished gray metal in the image.
And I don't see the lioness hologram.

Good get JBV, had not thought of Uma Thurman till you pointed it out
Wookey
2017-06-15 05:31:16 +0000 UTC
Nice. With that hair and face, I'm reminded a lot of Uma Thurman in the Kill Bill films.
I really like the armor & gun designs, but where are the railgun's magazines? 20mm projectiles alone would be about the same diameter as a 12ga shotgun shell, and a magazine holding 50 of them isn't going to be flush-fit.
2017-06-15 05:09:58 +0000 UTC
I'm not posting about the art exactly (which is pretty nice btw.) but I had a thought before I pledged the new tier. Tefler, would you consider cropping the artwork and posting it as a teaser for those who are unable/unwilling to increase their pledge? I know that I specifically pledged your patreon because I read you were going to have artwork commissioned and posted here (and damned if I still can't imagine what the sexiest girl in the story looks like the Invictus!) In any case it might help some to decide what they want to pledge.

ok ashanath. are your eyes staring unblinkingly?

I actually asked him to blonde her hair up once already! (It was kind of an ash-blonde originally). This picture is more about the armour and rifle, but I've been hunting around for useful reference material and I'll get a proper face picture of Alyssa commissioned sometime. :-)
Tefler
2017-06-15 01:20:40 +0000 UTC
Malari are probably white blonde, so the yellow blonde will make for a change. Lol
2017-06-15 01:17:27 +0000 UTC
I might include her in a pic with Calara... I'll have to see how the rest go. :-)
Tefler
2017-06-15 01:17:05 +0000 UTC
Potential for hair to be a little bit more blonde? Well that's my preference any way. My partner is a blonde so Iam biased. LOL

I love it.

2017-06-15 01:13:22 +0000 UTC
What's the resolution of the image? Can that be placed in the description?
2017-06-15 01:09:23 +0000 UTC
I'd rather see Alyssa out of her armor but her suit does look good.
