I asked @ansdrela to upgrade this sketch to full lineart, and I think it turned out beautifully!
Illustration of Catradora at Scorpia's First Ball from my fanfic, She-Ra: Masters of the Universe!

I literally had the idea of this while listening to Gimme the Price... I have a thing going on in my head about relating the songs heard on Highlander with She-Ra.
Anyways! She-Ra in plate armor! I have quite of an obsession of drawing She-Ra characters in some form of historical armor. I think it fits the series really well for some reason. Maybe is just a way my brain has to combine two things I really like? Who knows, but I love doing it!
Anyways! Armor!
Adora's armor is, of course, based on the gothic armor of Maximilian I (that was later gifted to Sigismund Von Tirol). Catra's armor is based on armors made in the Innsbruck style, and a few elements of armors seen in the Thun Sketchbook.
This is, of course, a redraw of a frame of the opening.
Anyways, hope you like it!

How long am I gonna be explaining to people, I wonder:
Villanelle is a compelling and relatable character—and so similar to Catra—& her relationship with Eve heart wrenching to watch because she turned herself into a weapon at a young age so no one could hurt her anymore? (And Catra and Villanelle are both power bottoms, and no, that’s not a joke—it’s character info.)
It’s why her backstory episode with her mom in S3, and the final shot of her crying on the train, are so perfect, for all people’s complaints about S3. And then she grew and changed. And Eve came back. And she let someone hurt her. She let someone in.
Because no, most people don’t have mental health scarring to the degree that Villanelle has. (A lot of that—the spy stuff, the Twelve—can be read as a way to personify a general sense of governmental repression anyway.) But there’s something very real about being a soft-hearted person who forced yourself to become a survivor, scrapping from day to day to find any reason to live, and then finally finding someone who understands you and doesn’t want to hurt you.
And for Eve, it was compelling because she was closeted. All the trappings of her old life—from Nico and their flat full of chickens, to her desk job—were symbolic of repressive, misogynistic, comp-het culture as a whole. Villanelle represented burning all of it down: rebellion, anarchy, honesty, freedom.
And it is absolute crap—not to mention WILDLY homophobic—that it would be anything RESEMBLING a “relief” for her to lose that freedom; to say her queerness and desire for more were a phase, and she’d be happier going back into repression.
It’s crap. And it’s one of the many reasons I have to be a writer.
