A paint over of an older piece I did which can be seen here 

OMG I finally finished this design an ETERNITY ago and never posted smh... 

Here is Adrian’s completed design with her doc oc arms and all! I had both a challenge and and BLAST deciding how I was gonna make everything look and be octopus themed so here’s a rundown: 

 Bike helmet looks like a beak since octopi have beaks but most people don’t really know about that. The shading was hard as hell but I was eventually able to make it look like oil or mayhaps some ink? 

Her mask: Meant to mimic Japanese diving mask that inhale water and then allow you to breath the oxygen in the water.  (Still don’t know the exact science behind it all lol) Like with her ankle braces and wrist tubes from my last post those little knobs on the sides of her face mask are indicators of her oxygen levels.  The brighter, the better her circulation and flow is goingSince her blood is her weapon of choice aside from normal combat and her tentacle powers, she’s going to be needing a lot of air if she wants to last long in a fight. I also tried to make the actual shape if the filter on the mask look like a filter in a fish tank or the gates to Poseidon’s castle. Take your pick!

Her visor: Meant to look like a squid when their skin is at a more neutral glow rather than their invisibility when camouflaged. The actual shape is also very similar to an octopi or squids eyes.

Her hands: Grab attack! Injector fingers adding a little more weight to the idea of “if this character gets a hold of you- Its game over..” the more she grabs onto you, the faster the fight is going to go but this doesn’t mean it doesn’t tire her out a bit either. It IS still her blood after all.

And finally I’v got a nice showing of what the back of her suit looks like and where the tentacles are positioned on her back! If any of you have constructive criticisms or advice I’d be happy to hear it! so far this is my favorite out of the fighting character designs I’ve come up with and I’m very proud of myself for what I was able to accomplish with it.
