*Furyou Miko Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 It's not the prettiness or the cleanness, its the expressions, for allt three of them. Aqui 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sororita Katya Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) I'll give you licking her teeth like that to be vaguely suggestive, though. She was just trying to get the spinach from her Greek salad out of her teeth before the photo op...happens to me all the time Edited December 4, 2015 by Sororita Katya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teetengee Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 my issues were more the youth and the expressions than the beauty. mostly the expressions, as Miko said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricPaladin Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I'm going to throw my hat into the ring. I think the problem is less the existence of cute or pin-up-y Sororitas art, it's that that sort of nonsense sometimes seems to outweigh the more heroic or gritty art. For example: I know a guy on tumblr who posts pinups of traitor Astartes from the Horus Heresy era. Lots of pictures of, say, Khârn and Abaddon looking muscly and flexing, with big soft sensitive eyes and wry mouths. Not my thing, really, but it makes him happy, and he's a very good artist. Anyway, the point is that when I see that, I don't think "ew, how weird, it's a pinupy Space Marine!" I think "well, that's unique" and I move on. Because in general Astartes are depicted in a way that's entirely congruent with their representation in in the fiction. If you do a Google image search for "Sisters of Battle," though, the second result is the long-haired, smooth-faced, escher-girl (that is, the infamous "boobs and butt" pose) battle sister from the cover of the newest codex. The second row of images includes a ridiculous (if adorable) anime interpretation of a battle sister. If you Google "Space Marines," you don't get anything demeaning for pages and pages. That's an important context. Nobody cares about occasionally lambasting or sexualizing Sororitas, any more than I don't care if someone occasionally lambasts or sexualizes Space Marines. What's annoying is that the discordant representations sometimes seem to outnumber the concordant representations.

Warsmith Aznable Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I like that their armour is emphasized as armour and not just a skin tight suit. I've always imagined the Sororitas power armour as a mix of plates and highly advanced ballistic fiber, but in most fan art it's just "boob cups and back pack" and the rest looks like synth-skin.

*Furyou Miko Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 That's because the models are guilty of the same thing as all GW power armoured models, in that the armour itself is the same size as the person wearing it should be. If you doubt me, just compare a helmet with a bare head. The two bits are exactly the same size, even though one should fit inside the other. GW's habit of painting every Sister like her armour is clad in shined latex does not help either. I really like those, especially the Hospitaller.

Teetengee Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 The hospitaller does seem to me to have that synth skin issue, particularly in the thighs and abdomen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendal1989 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 The hospitaller does seem to me to have that synth skin issue, particularly in the thighs and abdomen though. I didn't think that when I initially saw it(liked it more as a slice of life pic), but on a second look I noticed the abdomen area looked like it was some kind of cloth rather than hard plates. I always assumed that the whole torso piece was solid and decorated to look like cloth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 The folding does give that impression, which is disappointing - classically, the 'corset' on Sororitas armour is a kind of surcoat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) I've just seen two Rhinos with murals on the "'Eavier Metal" Facebook page. They are fantastic!

bazazatron Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 There's some fantastic stuff in this thread! This is my first post in the Sororitas section, actually it's the first time I've ventured out of the works in progress bit and posted anywhere else, but then I only really go there and here so it had to happen some time. I just put this up in my scratch built/converted sisters thread but thought I'd share it here as well as it seems a bit more fitting, so here's a picture I done did. http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y357/lordwinchester/Sister%20Sledge%20150.jpg RolandTHTG, Metic, Arkaniss and 11 others 14 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazazatron Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 @Kastor Krieg- Cheers! Not yet, but I wouldn't say no! @Namine- Thanks! I have to be honest in that it's half for fun and half pitching for a job doing just that. Fingers crossed but there are no certainties in the comics industry. *Furyou Miko 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 No certainties anywhere these days, or perhaps ever?

*Furyou Miko Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 No certainties, no guarantees, and no jobs, from what I hear, lol. Those murals look absolutely stunning.

bazazatron Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 @WarriorFish- That's half the fun of being self employed! I should have a better idea of where I stand tomorrow as it was a dead cert up until a couple of weeks ago when the editor who's usually my champion told everyone he was leaving. Bit of a bugger as I have to schmooze again and I'm notoriously rubbish at it. @*Furyou Miko- It's been my profession for 16 years so there are jobs out there, admittedly I've also been skint for 16 years which I'm sure is just a coincidence She's the first sister I've drawn in a while, I used to draw them a fair bit as they've always been my favourites but back then I drew in a far cartoonier manner and it was years and years ago. @Aquilanus- God I've spent years honing this I hope it wasn't someone similar!

Shifte Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) Interrogator Shiana Raine of the Ordo Xenos, formerly a Sister Superior of the Order of the Grey Shroud. You can see that the markings have been removed from her armour. My Dark Heresy character. To be brief: She was presumed KIA along with the rest of her fledgling Order (40 or so Sisters), but had in fact been recruited by an Ordo Malleus Inquisitor due to her connection with the Big Evil Cult^tm that had laid their world low. In the years since she has avenged her fallen Sisters, killed a corrupt Inquisitor without permission (literally sparking a brutal Inquisition War in the Calixis Sector between the pissed off Xanthites and the chuffed-to-bits Mono-Dominants who wouldn't let them assassinate her...) and had to make the difficult decision of whether to return to the Sororitas (possibly as Repentia) or embrace her new life as an Inquisitorial Agent. She chose the latter and accepted an offer from a female Ordo Xenos Inquisitor to serve as her Interrogator. Killing the corrupt Inquisitor without permission, stopping the return of Haarlock (prewrit adventure) and turning up alive after being marked amongst the honoured dead by the Sororitas has made her rather infamous amongst those in the know. She therefore has a bit of an awkward relationship with the sectoral Sisterhood. Some think she's awesome, others think she disloyally abandoned the cause and, generally speaking, everyone has an opinion! We're still playing the game after like six or seven years and dozens of sessions. Recently switched to Dark Heresy 2nd Edition and rebuilt the characters. She had the iconography removed from her power armour, dyed her hair red in honour of the fallen and is busily serving as her new master's right hand. She has a Bolter, Bolt Pistol, Power Mace and Blessed Combat Knife. She's particularly good at knifing people ...
