SRWM Circe va'Narash

Profile picture for Circe va'Narash, secondary protagonist of my friend Will's original mecha series, Steel Knights: The Tower's Shadow.

The hypothetical series is actually the second of a series of three OAVs, set after a nuclear apocalypse on the retro-future world of Neo-Terra. Though the story's characters and plot are original, it borrows much of its aesthetic and worldsetting from the Fallout series of games, albeit with a neo-medieval twist.

Circe is one of the Steel Knights' main trio of pilots, a serious-minded noblewoman entrusted with protecting Lyra sa'Reidbach, rightful heir to the Neo-Terran throne and leader of the rebellion against the sinister Tower organization.

Though an 80s OAV might lend itself to a more detailed style, something about Will's characters always put me in mind of the wisecracking heroes of GoShogun, so I decided to model them after the early 80s design style of Motohashi Hideyuki.
