I may be taking a long time to do my posts here but I'm working on my favorite drawing yet by far, showcasing a new Evvie outfit. The pose is much more dynamic and shows off her personality in body language far better, while my other drawings it was mainly just her grin that showed it and not much else. I think she's finally going to be wearing shoes in this one. Perhaps she got used to it after generating the armor in her other outfit. This outfit is actually a downgrade in power from that one, so I need to come up with a reason why she'd ever switch outfits other than loosing that one, which is the obvious reason.

I'm hoping I can finish tomorrow but I don't want to rush this.

Edit: oh yeah, and in another altered outfit she may have...conservative clothing on! Gasp! People think she's an evil clone at first.

Isn't she kind of a kid? My natural answer is that she's grown. She's changed. In this particular lifetime she's gotten closer to humans, decided that although she finds the concept of modesty ridiculous (I mean, seriously, no other animal feels like they need to wear the skins of other animals to cover their genitalia, no?) humans seem to be more comfortable around those that keep to the practice, and it's not like she's trying to appease them or anything, but why intentionally cause issues? She's not all that edgy. With the loss in power, I'd write it off as a common sense transaction. This is what she had available. Perhaps she scavenged elements from her former armor and added it to this set, perhaps she was given this set complete as is, whatever, but it's simple really. In real life, even if a squire (say some fourteen to sixteen year old boy) jumped up a few inches one Summer (which happens to boys that age), and filled out ten or twenty pounds. His former plate no longer fits properly. It could be adapted, parts could be scavenged and fixed to a larger body (some form of modified leather undercoat or something of the like) but no one's sending him onto a battlefield wearing ill fitting plate. Even if he actually had to find a tailor and replace it with something inferior, studded leather perhaps, it'd still be better than trying to fight wearing restrictive, under-protective armor.
