Remake/Remodel: Woman with a Black Heart

And did [Pulp Heroes] turn the bad guys over to the cops? Did they hell. They shredded the bad guys with hails of bullets, often from machine pistols they designed themselves to kill the bad guys more quickly and more messily.  - Warren Ellis

With that spirit in mind I got to designing Woman with a Black Heart. Under my pencil she's a Maori warrior, revenging her husband and having high adventures in the southern hemisphere.

Rather than designing a machine pistol she took her husband's Army Rifle and carved a new stock for it that incorporates the design of a Tewhatewha battle axe. That was also inspired by Chingachook's "giant fucking axe shaped like a rifle" in Michael Mann's LAST OF THE MOHICANS. Plenty messy.

There will be moe from this character soon. First a costume as cool as the gun. Then an illustration of her kicking ass on top of a dirigible.
