Looks like the outfit from the last sequence of the movie Heavy Metal... Tarnak or something like that. Well done. I would make her bigger as well. In these sort of adventures, I think a character should be about one quarter height of the screen.

Did you create her yourself? Which program did you use?

 I know that yur ging for a hvey metel style but i think armored babes in mail bikinies are stupid, 4 one, mail can NOT be worn next skin, niether can plate or leatther or any serous type of armour. the job of armour is to protect, and i know this is a adventure game with probebly NO fighting the idea that a babe would go around like that goes against ALL rules of warfare a plunging neckline makes plunging swords jobs easy.
hot babe though  ;D

Well, if you saw HEavy Metal, that is the exact outfit she wore, and she kicked ass completely. She was the last of a race of badasses or something. I think she had special skin or something. Indeed, she got hurt, but it didn't matter because she kicked so much ass! Look at any RPG out there and there often chicks in skimpy outfits and they don't get hurt bad. Skimpy outfits is part of the fun with a good game... have to suspend disbelief a little bit about armor.

I say good work. Also, I take it back... I recommend she be one third of the screen instead of a quarter.

well true, but what about the halfling rouge that yoou see in the d 7 d manuels, ( what was her name?) any way she was hot ANd she wore leather in a apropreate fashion  plus she WAS a roughe were flexability is a must and so she could get a way with little armor but she DID wear that sewn together cat suit alover her body plus ithink you should make your OWN charactor in poser and not jack others work :P ;D

LOL. That's debatable, actually. It never showed her die, and if she did, it was because of suicide and self-sacrifice. She fly her bird into the locnair [sp?] to destroy it once and for all. But, before this point, she had successfully defeated all of her foes... including fully armored bad-asses... one with complete robot arm. She was scratched up, but I'm sure she would have survived if she hadn't made that final gesture. Regardless, there's no point in debating this. I personal would say to go with the scantily clad woman.

The one point I can agree with, however, is that you should try to make your own new art instead of using already existing ones... feels a little like cheating. I try to make all of my own graphics from scratch, especially when I'm make a big new product. Just makes you feel better about yourself... though, definitely make her scantily clad.
