Maya Stiletto, New Possible Character

Maya Stiletto, New Possible Character
« on: Apr 25, 2016, 02:43 AM »
A new possible character I've been toying with for a while now.

I'm still debating her backstory and overall design so I decided to drop her here until I come with other ideas. Comics will obviously follow once I've got something solid to show.

Whatever ideas I have now are:

Mercenary, your typical Gun-For-Hire, perhaps.
Lives and works in the underground.
Doesn't care for taking sides, but it depends on who offers her the most money.
Leaves if things get too messy, or 'it wasn't part of my contract'.
Either of Mexican or Italian descent. Possibly mixed heritage.
Wields various pistols and throwing knives.
Has no supernatural powers, is pretty much normal.
Hates being cheated out of a deal. Often responds to such by putting a bullet through the one stupid enough to cheat her.
Seems cold and calculating, but is actually a pretty decent person deep down. She only shows that side to those closest to her.
When not being a merc (or whatever she eventually turns out to be), her downtime involves shopping, clubs, drinking, and a good smoke. I'm thinking of making her bisexual.
Possible name, Maya Stiletto. Whether that's her real name or merc name is yet to be decided.

Mercenary and high leather boots are always a good mix in my book!
i like the idea, she's a normal human or a meta?

Could you explain what meta is, exactly? I've heard it before.

meta-human, means she has a power, range from ridicule and useless to planetary threat.
She could have a funny power that seems harmless at first but is deadly in her hands

Ah yeah, I get it now.

Honestly, I don't see her with any power. Just a normal human being. But anything could change along the way, I guess. For now, she's just normal.

May want to consider making her weapons (guns, brass knuckles, knives etc.) part of the design, at the moment she's got that underground vibe but nothing that makes her feel dangerous.

If her last names stiletto you gotta make them stillettos awesome like stilettos (heels) made of stilettos (knives) !

I like the vibe so far~
STILL spoken about in disgraceful social circles

@ Thresher - Sure thing. I was a bit lazy drawing her weapons in, but next time I'll put them in. And I like the idea of stiletto heels, so I see about incorporating those.

Okay, two words-

Apache.
Revolver.

They're usually rather impractical in realistic terms, but I feel like combo weapons are something that would fit her well.

Ooooh that does look like something Maya would wield. Thanks for the idea.

More possible concept art for Maya.

This time showcasing her stiletto-ed heels and customised pistol with ejectable blade. More weapons will be added later on, including that apache revolver.

I'll come back to this whenever I'm able to.

Nice work incorporating Thresher's suggestion, those heels are badass.  The idea that there's a switchblade in every one of her accessories is a fun concept.

More playing around. Excuse the horrible light source, I was too busy having fun playing around with figuring out leather effects.
