ARA, my android girl. One of my first drawings of her, where she was still a fox. She's feline now, but I still like the image.
You don't have to read the below, just a storyline-related script.
""AAI stands for Augmented Artificial Intelligence, a method of producing A.I. by means of reducing a living brain downwards in sentience. As such, her existence has violated the 237th decree of Inter-Galactic Electronics Warfare as stated by the Grand Empire. I.H. Kaltag, under funding by the Katrician Empire, built ARA as an AAI for the Leviathan-class flagship of Katric. As it's central computer, ARA can manipulate the ship at will, and is directly responsible for controlling its Delta Gun, a massive microwave-beam that ignites the oxygen in the atmosphere and continues to turn charged ions until the planet is engulfed in flames and all carbon-based life is deprived of air and incinerated. Such Doomsday Devices are prohibited by the 3rd decree of Inter-Galactic Warfare as stated by the Grand Empire. For construction and use of both ARA and the Delta Gun on Point Station East in the Ikaz System, resulting in the deaths of 125 million galactic citizens, The Grand Empire of the Rishan Galaxy hereby declares war on the Katrician Empire and all its affiliates and allies.
Katric is now at war currently with 12,340 star systems, 450 sovereigns, all arms of the Grand Empire, and the Imperial Sovereigns.
May God have mercy on your souls."

Looks like Dolores has gone organic with the help of Jehuty. :0
The details i think i like the most.

wow, the sketchiness doesnt pull down the quality of the pic at all... VERY nice job! ^_^
Jawdrops ._.
you have just re awoken my innermost mecha-android obsession.

Inspiration is the greatest compliment I can recieve. :3 Thanks much!
you're the first person to say that. and yes, she is. being created for the purpose of killing and wired to armor and weapons 24/7 will not make you a happy camper. D:
She'd be a lot happier if she were created to kill off a number of YouTube commenters <3
Holy crap awesome. o.o
*gives her a hug cuz she looks saaad*
*gives her a hug cuz she looks saaad*
yah she is. UAI is a little -too- advanced and it makes for emotions. being built to kill won't make you happy. :x
WOW!
It's absolutely coooool! O_O Looks great, all the mechanics, cables etc. is so... well, mechanical :)

OMG, FANTASTIC !!! :D
It's a style of mecha that was showing at the end of the nineties, and nothing better gas been done since IMHO...

Mechanical!!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! Awesome! I usually avoid doing mechanical stuff...but that will be changing soon. =^_^=
UAI also stands for the bane of my existance: University Admissions Index
lol, try 'when am i going to upload ch.2?' D: zomg, im so slow at it.
that's a vicious kind of weapon, almost as bad as an Alter-Cal BPC, which basically reduces everything to neutrons, hydrogen, and random carbon chains.
(Alterable Caliber Beta Particle Cannon)
(Alterable Caliber Beta Particle Cannon)
it's not the worst one, though, the APC is built almost exactly the same, but instead destabilizes atoms in it's pathway. imagine all of the nuclear weapons currently on earth going off in the same spot.
strap an Alt-Cal to that to encompass an entire planet, and you could take out an entire sector.
well, whatever a sector is.
oh, and the bonus to MA Tech Particle Cannons is that they are so high-energy that only the weapon it's self is capable of defending against an attack, and even that is only deflection.
PCs are more humane than most doomsday weapons, and generally should be used only for sympathetic or galactic threat annihilation.
too much info?

actually have a few particle-based DDs, though the effects vary one to the other, but still, those are some really cool thoughts. :D
that's very awsome, i'd like to draw something as unique looking as that and it would look only half as good if i'm lucky, next to that. nice job.
Incredible....im always on the look out for Mecha and armory artists who can deck out my Foxeh....=3 you do commissions?
Ok I may end up stealing part of the design of that and turning it into an uber space ship thingy. *Grins.* When I do I'll link ya or something!
Dumb question: Is this only a bust shot or is there more to her body?
i have a full-body shot of her in that same armour, but it's gonna take a while to ink, hahaw. as for her without the armour, i have one also, that may be quicker.
I'llhappilytakebothplz. ^^
Also, one of these days I must have you design some mech for a character of mine. ^^

Seriously. The level of detail on this pic is eye blasting =O And it's looking so truly metallic. Rushy is amazed =O
However Aa's looking sad. Really sad... D:

Damn, I should talk to you about commissioning something like this. o..o
That is really beautiful! I love the electronics design and how clearly her blue eye shines though. Very very lovely. :)
Alright I've drawn it and I've put it on my photobucket... I still have to add the symbol painted on the side of the hull but oevrall it looks alright and what I added blends well with what was the helmet part of that armour, which I also changed. All of this meanwhile drawn freehand. http://s21.photobucket.com/albums/b.....nt=ArkBird.jpg May I post it here since part of it technicaly was your artwork originally?
*chuckles* come to think of it, it -would- make an interesting ship design! interesting idea you put on there, yah, you may post, just link to this original or something similar. thanks! that was definitely an interesting and new thing that's been done. :3
Thanks Much I'll be sure to give credit and once I can remember how to use photoshop ,since I havn't in over 2 years, I'll try and see about colouring it.
Wow! This game out wonderful! Excellnt work!
thats freaking amazing! the detail and design are just incredible
and i love all the effects you used to bring it to life, great work
and i love all the effects you used to bring it to life, great work
Simply wow, beautiful design, and even more beautifully written story to go along. The Delta Gun idea is just amazing... If something like that were to be created, that kind of distruction it could wreck... staggering...
Anyways, awesome art ^.=.^

Man, I love this pic. Reading the description though, I don't know about a microwave beam igniting the oxygen in the atmosphere of a plane, since oxygen can only support the ignition of something else, it can't really ignite itself.
You could, however, with a powerful enough beam, heat the planet/atmosphere to a point where nuclei collide and impromptu fusion takes place, essentially turning the planet into an extremely short lived (and hot) nuclear fusion reactor, and leaving you with a cloud of vapourized iron when it's all finished. WHICH WOULD BE REALLY AWESOME.

that last line made me laugh so hard i snorted the milk i was drinking.
The world needs more people like you who appreciate the hilarious side of nuclear power.
eh, i never commented on this.
This is one of my most favorite peices

Woah, man! I love how the color adds to the piece... Like, just a dash of red and yellow across the wires, and everything just pops out so much more.
If this detail continued for a full-body view, you'd have a masterpiece on your hands.

Hello, Fluff.
Mayhap I may be of service, presenting unto you a weapon that is significantly less power-consuming, but as well significantly more flexible and indeed terrifying than a mere use of such brute-force methods as microwave excitement or particle weapon bombardment.
Alteration of the so-called "priveleged channels" of quantum spacetime in an area. Basically, this method relies on altering the underlying equations that make up the information which defines matter on a quantum level. In effect, you are "telling" matter to be something (or somewhere) else. Don't like protons binding to neutrons, or electron shells holding their orbits? Well, tell them "Hey, y'know, that doesn't REALLY work" and watch them go their separate ways! Or, if you're looking for that new "Bigger boom", tell 20% of them to reverse their spin, resulting in them becoming antimatter!
All in all, the energy required is a LOT less than brute-forcing something to do these things. It's the difference between pushing a car up a hill and firing up its' engines and DRIVING it up a hill.
What it DOES require is a deep understanding of the underlying quantum information theory and physics, and a system to put this into operation.
Personally, I find such weapons FAR more chilling than a maser the size of a star station. ^_^
Do enjoy, dear!
Yours,
Mika Kyubi

Sweetawesome design on this~ I'm diggin' th' detail~
So shiny~ @3@

nice story and pic
just wondering are you going to do a full view for this character
just wondering are you going to do a full view for this character
I have some in-progress stuff and 3d model im working on, one shot can be seen here: http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/.....r/ARA/ara4.jpg
Very beautiful peice...and it makes a lovely icon. Was just asking as I have some weird need to have way to many icons.
This is absoluly amazing ^^ I am trying to do such things like these with the furry world but I have troubles puting my visions in my head to paper... xP
The amount of detail in the metal along with her face are astounding, and I just love how you drew her eye.
This is a very beautiful piece you have here, so well done it made me think to myself "I wonder how frustrating it must have been to get that suit on?"
I like your descrptive wrighting and im loving they cybernetic in this well done fluff ^^
this is very impressive :) and a very nice description to go with it
talking over myself again but i see you even got a rare comment from jeso (cant believe i didnt notice while scrolling down to leave my first comment)
"Katric is now at war currently with 12,340 star systems, 450 sovereigns, all arms of the Grand Empire, and the Imperial Sovereigns."
Well shit
Well shit
"AAI stands for Augmented Artificial Intelligence, a method of producing A.I. by means of reducing a living brain downwards in sentience." does that mean they took her captive and practically lobotomized poor ARA before turning her into a cyborg to use as a AI? Q_Q
10 years ago you still had an incredible sense for creating beautifully designed mechanical things. Stunning, truly.
i keep forgetting you had ara as a fox before changing her to a cat......
was it because a cat was more appealing?
was it because a cat was more appealing?
It saddens me on how she was originally a weapon of mass destruction. Good thing she got away from bein a killer
Wait she’s a weapon of mass destruction and a wanted criminal just for being alive?!
I would imagine her creators would be, not ARA herself. Although, whether she would be considered a weapon or a prisoner of war if captured would be up to the exact handling of AI, although I would imagine "prisoner" assuming a functional system of inalienable sophont rights.
