You have done a fantastic job! I have always wanted to see a female version of a marine. Since I am a woman, and a hopeless romantic, could you somehow create a simple picture of both male and female marines holding hands? Nothing lewd or questionable of course, but I am sure that somewhere, somehow, a romance can be sparked between two marines while in battle. I know that it actually isn't permitted but we do always somehow find a way don't we? LOL!
Or maybe someone could start a story on this? (hint hint) <!--emo&::tsa::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tsa.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tsa.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Ugh.
This is a great drawing, don't get me wrong. What I'm hating here is how people assume that all women in service are ugly, or don't have a shapely figure, or something along those lines. Let me be the first to say, THAT IS NOT TRUE. In fact, I've seen SEVERAL women, even with combat armor+sports bra, STILL look quite...."womanly", and are considered some of the best in their field, sex considered or not. Thats one thing I hated in JeeR's thread from earlier- people assume that women in service aren't attractive, or don't have a certain figure EVER, when thats just not true at all. Sure, its rare, but isn't that what we want out of our characters? Uniqueness?
Sorry for the rant. Honestly- absolutely AWESOME picture, and great remixes <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I like this picture. Very nicely drawn. And I really like the fact that she's not "big" in places that are normally drawn like that in female characters.
I like how even tho she's probly dosed up to her eyeballs on cat packs she still looks quite nice and no buldging viens of nanite enriched blood or anything like that

Since we haven't seen any female marines in any NS movies (at least I haven't), I was thinking about maybe adding one in the Pre/Selection movie but that is ONLY IF I have time for it. If I do, your art might be a good start for inspiration !
