Meh, probably not. I don't much think I'll actually do this. But the image of Bidalsha being forced for whatever reason to trudge across Halkegenia with a tiny!Moe blob and a Tsu . . Ku . . . ? Whatever sort of insane Sayuri would be at that point, sworswoman amuses me greatly. Also the self hatred when Sayuri realizes she's become what she hates.
@ TH's latest snip: ... well, you've just killed any urge from me making someone suffer in my stories for the near future. Good thing I've already got all the relevant parts of that down on documents for the next two chapters ^^;
Obviously not completed yet since I haven't started yet on her advanced lighting, shadows, and tones or her sheaths and details (Like muscles and scars, armor trims, and such.), but I figured I may as well get the color issue out of the way. Steel or Bronze, you choose. Unless you have another color scheme you'd rather her use.
Yes, those gloves are asymmetrical, her dominant hand has more protection, as for the removal of her breastplate, seeing as she's a Leprechaun, and Leprechauns are the best smiths, I asked myself, why not she wears armor that looks like normal clothing but tough, and so steel-silk armor was conceived, slightly heavier than silk, but as comfortable, and as tough or tougher than steel depending on metal used and the fact there's Terrorantula Silk beneath it between the undershirt and the prime shirt to absorb additional blows.
Her lorica segmentata is smaller so she has more flexibility for her arm, and the plan is to have one sheath on the back, one by the belt, another behind, and the last one I've yet to decide lest I stab it into the ground.
The only downside is since I'm used to drawing people above age 18, she looks sort of.... older than my intended design.
It's kinda dumb, and I kinda shoehorned that one character in there at the last moment, but oh well. At least I'm not dragging my feet on it anymore.

The Alviss had brought a significant force to bear this time, the small dolls swarming into the city, hijacking several POE-Ms on the way in.
GaoGaiGar had been deployed, but it seemed as soon as she dispatched one unit, another would appear, sending her flying across the city. Her large saber-like arm attachment had been heavily damaged and abandoned already, and she wouldn't be able to muster many more uses of Hell and Heaven, not without damaging herself severely. She was bringing her arm up for another Broken Magnum attack, but they had anticipated it this time.
As she launched the spinning arm forward, several more Zonders appeared from behind buildings and stalls, leaping up and launching cables at the attack. The arm ripped through three of them, before finally two got purchase on it and the spinning arm ground to a halt, trapped in the cables. Another set of cables wrapped around GaoGaiGar and she shrieked as a high-voltage current ripped through her body.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
"Where are Units 2 and 3?!" Taiga called to the operators.
"They finished and Launched 5 seconds ago! 30 seconds to arrival!"
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Meanwhile, the regular populace was fleeing a small army of the dolls. The basic strategy this time had been to just have lots of replacements apparently, and when one zonder went down, replace its core form with a new one. While waiting, they spent their time terrorizing the human and faerie populace.
The Faeries and nobility were fighting back, but there always seemed to be more Alviss to take the place of destroyed ones.
A little girl cried out in fear as a large knife wielding Alviss trapped her in an alleyway.
"Momma!"
A flash of white.
The little girl opened her eyes slowly to find the Alviss broken into pieces, frost formed over the individual bits that shook slightly before remaining still.
A wave of heat hit her and flames roared down the street the alleyway was connected to. Alviss were fleeing, most set on fire, others melting outright under the onslaught.
On the other side of the flames, a white form was outlined, joined a moment later by a black mirror image. Cold lashed down the length of the street and the flames faded under a sudden storm of white powder.
Then they were gone.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
More and more Alviss piled on GaoGaiGar, picking and jabbing at the rents in her armor, looking for a way in. Tangled as thoroughly in cables as she was, there was little she could do but struggle to shake the small swarming creatures off.
A roar sounded from a nearby rooftop, before a wave of fire ripped through the small Alviss, knocking them away from the trapped Gai and setting them on fire.
"Elder Sister! We're here!"
Black and white streaks launched from the rooftop and came down, crisscrossing paths over the entangling cables, which fell to pieces in their wake.
As they landed, their forms became visible, large lionesses that were mirror images of each other. One a stark white, with a snowflake symbol on it's right chest. One a deep black with a flame symbol on it's left chest.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
"Girls! The Eraser Head is almost there! The Alviss are regrouping for a mass attack, it's your only shot!"
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
[<SYMMETRICAL DOCKING!]> Two voices raised in unison as the two Lions began reconfiguring.
Forelegs joined together and extended as legs, backlegs fused together and articulated as arms.
The long agile tails swept back and attached to the forming shoulders as a head lifted into position.
Twin voices cried out [<CHO RYU JIN!]>
As the transformation completed, the newest 3G machine leapt into the air and caught a large blocky device with a Cockpit on one side and a rounded end, which they fit over their shoulder as they landed, knelt and anchored themselves with the tail cables from their shoulders.
[<Magical Frequency Determined]>
[<Vibration Field Adjusted]>
"Ready Louise/Ready Lady?" Twin voices asked.
"I am." a calm voice echoed from the device. A soft chanting could be heard, and the rounded end of the device began to glow unnaturally.
ENCHANTMENT DISPEL!
"ERASER HEAD XL, FIRE!"
The light from the rounded end became blinding as it stretched out into a beam, arcing over the horizon, and a wave of force spread out from it, washing over the city in the direction of the beam. All at once, the army fell inert, the Alviss bodies crumbling away, even the POE-Ms that were captured slumping and crumbling as their enchantments were stripped away.
Slowly the brightness faded back to normal levels and Gai watched in awe as the large rounded end of the device slowly evaporated into thin air.
Allow me to lead the charge. ARISE, SLATTERN! *Snaps fingers. A rift opens behind me releasing the Category 5 Kaiju* To Gallia! *Laughing maniacally as the kaiju stomps forward*

Wrong country mate, Romalia holds Windalfr, not Gallia. Though you'd think the country with all the bio fridge-horrors like chimeras and human experiments would be the one with Windalfr, and Romalia's the one with the reverse-engineered Earth tech combined with Myoz for magitech-hax...

or just someone dragged [<Deadpool]> from whatever DC verse he is, stuff him, Sheffield and Julio in the same room and locked them up for a few days....
then Dump Zelretch into the mix... and er... Am I taking this make Shef and Julio crazy too far or what?
TH, please, please if you make Bidashal actually encounter a Pixie put through all that, don't make her Sayuri. She as a villain has been closed off and been put to rest, brining her back will be a disservice to your writing as well as your fans, and will come off as a deus ex machina.
IMHO, of all your works this one looks the best. Very clean with very good lines.
My own aesthetic sense wants me to go with Silver, so officially that'll be my choice. However, I decided that there's a third color scheme that could be considered:
