War...War Never Changes (Sci Fi WIP)

Added 2025-05-16 16:02:35 +0000 UTC

Hello!

The next Sci Fi updated is ready! High resolution turntables here.

So for newcomers to the series (myself included) Bubblegum Crisis Knights is a cyberpunk anime from the late 1980's. It's set in a dystopian Mega-Tokyo (2030's), where a powerful company (Genom Corporation) dominates the city and is responsible for creating half-biological/half-mechanical robots that often go rogue and cause huge collateral damage.

The Knight Sabers refers to the team of four young women recruited by Sylia Stingray (the one in light blue armor with wings) to avenge her father and combat the Genom Corporation. To even the playing field, the Knight Sabers wear specialized powered suits (Hard Suits) designed to enhance their abilities and provide combat capability.

That's pretty much all I know about the series and this month I'm mostly focused on making sure each hard suit has the distinctive look for their respective characters. Community members have told me Priss is the fan favorite, so I've focused on giving her an unhelmed version as well. Anime style heads are not really my forte but this month I did try as hard as I could to make sure she looks like her anime counterpart.

In terms of poses, I'm leaving it entirely to what the fans prefer. Are there any iconic ones for each character? Please let me know!

Next up is the NCR Ranger from Fallout New Vegas. So the Fallout lore is crazy deep and it would take ages to explain every faction. But TLDR the New California Republic (NCR) are one of the many splinter factions to crop up in the Mojave after the bombs fell. They are described as a post-War federal republic founded in the namesake territory of New California in 2189. The NCR Ranger are their elite special forces and deal with the enemies their normal soldiers can't handle.

One of their most famous victories is the First Battle of Hoover Dam against Caesar's Legion. The Rangers laid a trap that crippled Caesar's main force and drove them away from the Mojave for a long time.

I'm actually a big fan of the Fallout universe and like many fans consider Fallout New Vegas to be one of the best in the series. Big fan of the NCR Ranger costume as well, made sure to join the faction just so I could wear it. 👍 I tried to adhere to the original version as much as possible while giving it a bit more armor on the legs. Oh and the Pip Boy of course, gotta have that. My day in the life diorama will probably involve the Ranger this month.

Poses are next! I have a couple of ideas for each character but please PM me if you have any suggestions. Bubblegum Knights fans, as a complete outsider I will definitely need some sort of input. 😄 Grimdark voting will be up soon. Please have your suggestions submitted in the next couple of days. Thanks!
