My idea is basically a homage to sci fi tv shows, cartoon & novels I watched and read when i was growing up in the 80s like Buck Rogers, Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars, Robotech etc. Its also a homage to the emerging female action stars like Linda Hamilton and Sigourney Weaver (I know Alien was made in 1979 but she kicked started it all imo) I've also added the prerequisite robot sidekick to keep it 80s!
Basically the story behind this design is, she's crash landed on an alien world after a furious battle with an alien race intent on the annihilation of humanity and has to fend for herself while waiting for the mothership to detect her beacon for help. But she is not alone...
Still working ona few details. Thinking of enlarging the heroine and her sidekick to make them more prominent maybe. The sketch is still rough and I will continue to add details.
still a draft sketch. planning to ink it tonight and post it up. would like some feedback, opinions or comments about this design. Will really appreciate it. thanks
Great art, I don't have the patience to draw something of the like, yet alone color it, so cool beans. In the spirit of the 80s, make this a shirt of a fake B-movie, go ahead and color it and whatever, but then place a ridiculous title on the top, like "SPACE RAIDERS FROM OMEGA 3371." Use like a retro a bold font and metal-ize it. I'm not saying you must do this, but it's something I would do.

shading draft for reference when i take it into proper shading and cross hatching or etching or something..hehe. not sure what i want to do with it yet but i'll keep it in one colour tho. anything else to add or subtract or fix?
Yeah, it does look a little too soft right now. One thing I noticed was that in the first one it seems like wind blew the chick's hair and messed it up, forming some bangs; it just looked more natural. It also looked like some teeth were showing, so it gave the impression that she was focusing on something. Other than that it looks great.
