Storn Posted July 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Death Tribble and I discussed "Flag" characters, perhaps combining it with Power Armor Suit characters and how many countries never really got represented in comics. DT worked up a list of 15 countries, I took a look at their flags. I settled on Kenya... liked the iconic Masai shield quite a bit and worked that into a power armor design. The other discussion that was happening on a few boards was females and power armor... how to do it, make it look practical, (in a paranormal sense and setting), yet still register as a female under all that muscle weave and servos. So I wove that element in as well... so here we have a female Power Armor suit from Kenya. Hope y'all like.

But he was trying to avoid stereotypes and Spear and Shield for African is a shade too much to a stereotype. Yeah. Here is what I said over at the Atomic Think Tank forum about similar questions.... I think it is interesting that this has come up in a couple of different places. DT, Storn... I want to use that pic for a power armor character for Kenya when I get there on my world tour. That ok? What other countries did you guys discuss? (I build at least one patriot/supersoldier per country, and a lot of them get power armor characters...) If I may ask, why didn't you give her an actual shield? It is fine by me. Why no shield? Because often with these flag characters, there is a tendency to try and boil down their country into a visual concept. I wasn't trying to do that. Just because Cap. America, probably the most famous flag character, has a shield and just because the Flag of Kenya has a shield... I resisted the urge to follow suit. I really wanted to have "just" a Power Armor with a flag on it. Maybe because in a strange way, it is less expected. I wanted to present a sophisticated Kenyan female pilot/scientist... and didn't feel the need to make her a zulu warrior. Then it becomes a cliche. If the hip thingees there pay homage to shields?...cool. As stated on another board, the stance looks shield and spear like?... cool. But I didn't feel like I wanted to go directly at the stereotype.
