ME OC Merc Leader Spiira

Yes, i've been dead for a bit. But here's something I completed recently.

Sketch I did up and then inked for one of my Mass Effect OCs, Spiira.

She's a female Turian (shortened the fringe but didn't remove it completely like in the comics) and leader of an almost completely female exclusive Mercenary gang on Omega. She's actually pretty sexist. Oh noes.

She's charismatic and quite the "Lady's Lady" but under the exterior she's got a sadistic streak - especially when fighting. She's got a complicated relationship with her second in command, an Asari by the name of Echilna, who tends to get the jealous streak when Spiira decides to go trapsing in bars and strip clubs of Omega on her off time. Quite protective of her "charges", she's not one you ever want to cross; especially messing with her subordinates.

Her reasons for leaving Palaven are her own. Primarily Vanguard, she uses her biotic abilities to aid in her close combat fighting style. Like the character she is based on (Blackspiral which also explains her sadistic behavior while fighting) she wields two blades with adept proficiency. Her sister is also close combat, but unlike the character she is based on, Rinsla (Ravenwing) is a Soldier and adept at close combat and weapons a plenty.

All around the bar i'm still fiddling with developing them all, as it's fun. I use a lot of already implemented characters in my mind as i'd rather keep them then continually create new ones as they are close to me already.

Anywho, Spiira and art is mine. I LOVED some of the concept art of Saren, mostly the cloaky business so it was implemented with Spiira's design. Though when she's fighting she takes off most of the flowy stuff and just sports her merc leather gear under it.

Traditional sketch work and inks on Strathmore drawing paper. Really not the best for my linework but ugh. Copic Sketch Special Black used to fill in all the dark bits. Levels adjusted in Photoshop.
