Description
Yep. Of course I put this up after OC character competitions, but the competitions are what made me want to revisit this poor old hag to begin with. I'm pretty sure that the images I submitted were at least 8 or so months old.For those of you that don't know, Ultema has been my first and oldest OC ( ten ... or even eleven long years ). She's gone through a lot of changes that I should document one day because it would be funny. At any rate, I've been in a sci-fi mood lately and decided to update her "Zephyr" incarnation with a couple new things here and there.
I guess I'll include her bio from the Zephyr storyline to commemorate this occasion?
Professor U.I. Talsiar
Age:48 (essentially the same as being 30 for us )
Height: 5'9"
Weight 147 lbs (not including false arm)
Race: Maidenite (human) "Cyborg"
Occupation: Omega-Class Sorcerer / Instructor at Zephyr Academy
Ultema Illianer Talsiar. Mother of two, married to Arem Talsiar of the (in)famous Hunter's Guild, Omega-class Sorceress and Head Instructor of Magical Studies at the Zephyr Academy on the WorldShip Maiden Prime. Only one Omega-class Sorcerer or Sorceress is allowed on a Worldship at any time, given the fact that their abilities are so destructive and typically unstable, that any more would cause destruction to the ship. While an Instructor at the Zephyr Academy, she also holds a position in the Maiden Prime's Intelligence Agency, with a finger on the pulse of almost every aspect of what is going on inside and outside of the Maiden Prime.
The function of an Omega-class Sorcerer or Sorceress is multi-tiered. Not only is it for offense as well as defense, but should for any reason Worldship technology fall into the wrong hands, or its inhabitants threatened by a force that could potentially infect and wipe out the populous with a chance of spreading, they are responsible to cause the WorldShip's immediate destruction.
Due to the unstable nature of the energies that are attracted and used by her, Ultema is unable to perform extended, and more impressive feats of magical display without the usage of Channeling and Grounding devices. Through gems, cuffs, visors and wristlets, specially formulated (by "lonely, horny scientists" as her husband might say) she is able to contain the lesser of these energies for educational purposes. It takes a larger apparatus to prevent complete destruction in a combat situation, called a FAU (Force Auxiliary Unit), which contains more concentrated versions of the Grounding and Channeling devices and restrains limbs as well. An additional unit that accompanies the FAU is a large photon-scythe, known as Ballacetine.
Laid back and level-headed, she offers a counterpoint to her husband's more brash and reckless personality. Despite the amount of responsibility on her shoulders, not only socially and politically, but also with her innate destructive energies, Ultema is generally upbeat and optimistic, but never hesitant to put her foot down with her teenage children. At first she had qualms with the revealing "Battle bikini" as she refers to it, but got over it pretty fast, though it has earned her a reputation among her students as the WorldShip's most famous "MILF", much to the embarassment of her children and husband.
... Depicted above is in fact her battle bikini, FAU Arm replacement and Ballacetine.
The Zephyr world is large and involved, and I hope to one day finish the damn website on it

my dear, i totally love this!
i WOULD read the description, but uh... i'm lazy
as far as character design, i think its pretty awesome. i WANT to say her legs seem a little short, but i just draw really long legs so i dunno... it could be the cloth thats throwing me off... or the long mechanical arm.
but that scythe! and the costume. my goodness. i love it.

it's alll good.
As far as her legs go, the combination of the cloth, the arm, and the fact that the leg you can see the whole thing of probably IS a bit shorter than the other is throwing you off. It drove me crazy for a while too and I had to redraw the extended one like sixty times before I got it the way I (kinda) wanted it. XD
Thanks, though! Glad she is appreciatable

Oh geez, I thought I commented on this already but it looks like my browser ate my comment or something. .__.; Gah.
Her character design is just breathtaking. :3 I love the entire scifi/fantasy look. Ultema's false arm looks as though it would have taken forever to ink and color - your patience is admirable. XD I would get so frustrated with just line art alone.
The scythe along with her battle bikini (revealing though it may be XD) gives her a very beautiful but dangerous look. And with a confident posture and expression, she definitely lives up to the title of Instructor at the Academy, and everything else as well.
All in all, I really like this piece and her character design. :3 Very detailed and unique.

Haha, that happens to me all the time too so I feel you.
Thank you very much ;o; that means a lot because I love your designs. The line art was okay to do, it was really the coloring that kills me (CGing or coloring of any kind makes me throw tantrums. .___x;
XD The battle bikini has its place and I always find it fun to use simply because it gives me a reason to come up with some crazy reason WHY. Despite what I seem to have most in my gallery, most of my characters are very clothed. Thankfully her daughter isn't a caster-type and gets to wear normal clothing
And thank you very much!

Oh wow! I how you did the design of your Ultema character in this armour outfit. Her white hair is so beautfiully done also. You also did so awesome on the design of the scythe that she's holding on her right hand.
The soft colouring and shading are so awesome as well!

Something tells me you had much fun drawing those claws.
And I think I really like the mix of sci-fi and of 'battle-bikinis' (kinda like those old heroic-fantasy sorceresses on illustrations). The horny scientists cracked me up.
Special note for her expression, too. Her eyes and smile have a little something wicked that is oddly appealing.

It must've hurt when she got those screws put in; ouch!
Your character design reminds me of an artist that was popular during the mid 90s named Stephen Platt.

Luckily they're just on the top. Maybe they are her anti gravity generators or something , because I know I wouldn't want to be walking around in a top like that. Of course, that's the beautiful thing about being married to a physically strong man; if she doesn't want to she doesn't have to walk or run anywhere!
Really? Interesting, I'll have to look that up!

I've always though the idea of a 'battle bikini' was ridiculous. I mean, seriously, if -you- were suddenly thrown into a sci-fi setting and were forced to duke it out with evil in a two-piece, wouldn't that be a little awkward? xD I can't say it doesn't look cool, though. There must be something to be said about fashion on the battlefield.
I like the suggestively-placed jewels and bolts. :>

ultema In reply to xxyunikonxx [2007-02-11 04:19:14 +0000 UTC]
Well for her it doesn't mean so much. It was a scientific "device" made by (horny) scientists to keep her out-of-control Force-Attraction under wraps (basically, if she doesn't wear it while fighitng, everything goes BOOM XD) . It's her job not to get hit, after all Chalk the design up to "clever" minds in the science field. I guess I should draw a small comic of when she recieves that star of an outfit. XD
