TRIGATE CtC: Eyes of the expended SG-1

Had some fun tracing the eyes of the SG-1 crew and adding Vash's and Wolfwood's in there for my Trigate crossover comic. Enjoy!

Based on this:

Tales from RPland: Out of Control

Because of a magic curse from an anon, Vash has his feathers forced out. 

Those are some illustrations I made for that arc of the RP story.

Stopping to look back (aka looking at older art to see improvement)

This is the first concept art I did for Trigate Vash's outfit. Done May 25th of 2013. Never posted it. Now it is outdated but you can see how most of the design didn't get scratched, I only added parts to it and modified others.

Electromagnetic field schematization, part 2

(Click the pics for a short description)

Explanation:

1. Independent Plants interaction. The fields tend to mingle and merge naturally. They also tend to adjust to match each other and evolve in synch.

2. Independent and Bulb Plant interaction. Same as with two Independents except that since the Bulb Plant's field is an artificial one, there is a delay in the reaction and mingling. The merging is not as seamless as it is for Independents.

3-4-5. Interactions with objects. Conductive objects act as a secondary source. They can help extend the perception. Non-conductive objects slows down part of the field as it goes through creating a delay. Objects with non-varying electromagnetic fields (like magnets and Naquadah reactors) don't cause any problems to a Plant (even with a strong field, as long as it doesn't spike (see EMP here)). The fields either go through or around each other.

6-7. Interactions with faraday cages. Faraday cages are truly debilitating for Plants. When outside, the cages creates a black spot in the perception that extends much farther than the cage itself. When inside, perception is completely blocked on all sides and makes the Plant feel very uneasy (like being put in a small space where you can't extend your arms or legs and have to stay crouched). If the faraday cage is small enough, the Plant cannot use their powers because their field can't extend enough for that.

8-9. Forced field changes. Independent Plants can force another Independent to modify their field by resonating with them. They can force merge like this, as well as force them to use their powers. It's difficult to resist as it is very natural for Plants to mingle and match each other field. This is how Knives forces Vash to use his powers during the Fifth Moon incident for example. A Plant field can also be forced to change by a EMF generator. While it is the norm for Bulb Plants (as they cannot produce their own field and it is how they are commanded to produce things), it is completely unnatural for Independents to be forced like this and can cause great damage both psychological and physical. Like for Bulb Plants, this method can make an Independent produce whatever you want, but it's not advised.

10. Interaction with Naquadah-based objects (Stargates are one example of this). It is very similar to the interaction with conductive object, but instead of simply acting as a secondary source, it amplify the field of perception greatly. This is explained by the fact that Naquadah is an important catalyst for Plant's field creation and general metabolic processes.

Electromagnetic field schematization, part 1

(Click the pics for a short description)

Explanation:

1. Idle independent plant's field. It varies naturally to match the variation of the Naquadria in the cells and keep it stable.

2. Independent plant's field during power use.

3. Independent's field reaction to an electromagnetic pulse (EMP). It destroys the plant's field, forcing them to shut down to keep the demand on the Naquadria as low as possible (to keep it stable and not blow up while the field reforms itself). In some cases, the plant can resist the forced shut down, but it will leave them tired and weak for a little while. Think of it as a candle being blown by strong wind. Sometimes the flame doesn't extinguish completely and grows back once the wind stops.

4. Independent's field reaction to an electric surge (in blue). In this case, the shut down is unavoidable as the field is completely shredded at it's core. Can be caused by zat guns, tazers and electrocution of any kind, as long as it is strong enough (static electricity doesn't count, for example). It also takes longer to recover because of the remnant electricity that travels the body for a bit longer that the surge itself. However, plants cannot be killed through electrocution. The only cases where it can cause death or damage is if it is combined with bad burns or if the plant is tazed during a big loss of control. In this last case, the plant has to shut down during great power consumption and has no outlet for all that power, causing internal damage.
