Sister of Battle By Bobot073 Watch

I felt it time to paint something that didn't involve a helmet, but still have the opportunity to practice placing all the specular highlights on shiny surfaces.



In comes the idea to paint a Sister of Battle from Warhammer 40k.



Anyone familiar with the lore will notices a few changes to the design of the power armour.



The most obvious one is that the breastplate isn't the Standard Issue boobplate/corset.



I wanted to try to design something that is more protective (imo). I went with a single plate that covers the upper chest with a segmented plates covering the abs.

In order retain some hint of the "boobplate" design (cleavage didn't seem like the right word) I took the fleur de lis design and placed it in way that allows the curves to wrap around the breast area.

I hope that this strikes a good balance between the old design and the my attempt at a newer power armour design.



The next change was replacing the traditional bolt pistol design with something that more resembles the Reiver Heavy Bolt Pistol. The change was simply because I preferred the look of the Heavy Bolt Pistol over the older model.



Anyway hope you enjoyed the image.



Edit: Repainted the right arm because that has been an outstanding issue for a while ( the way I had drawn the arm and armour made it look like it was far too long). Also did another post-processing pass over the entire image.
