Valentine's 2017

Entry for 's 2017 Megaman Valentine's Day Contest! Thanks again for hosting such an awesome contest!
I chose to enter Category 1: Formalwear, as I couldn't pass up the chance to do something I'd wanted to forever - draw Atlas in a pantsuit.
(that being said, the scanner killed my colours...)

This picture does take several liberties with canon though. These include:
-The bodysuits not acting like a second skin, but the fingerless gloves being quite commonly worn on their own to allow for an easier grip on weapons.
-Atlas is of mixed Indian-African heritage, and the markings under her eyes are a tradition from her fallen country. Her eyes are also naturally red owing to a genetic mutation.
-Aeolus is albino and blind in one eye. He takes great pride in his appearance, covering the damaged eye with his fringe. His green hair is also the result of a silly dare he took whilst in his teenage years, but he liked the colour so much that he kept it.

With their designs, I deliberately chose to give Atlas a more masculine aesthetic to fit her military origin, but also to show that muscular women can still look great when in such outfits. Accordingly, I wanted to show off Aeolus' high-class heritage and "daintiness" when compared to Atlas, choosing to give him a multi-layered tuxedo complete with waistcoat, ascot and long tailcoat.

(also what the heck are backgrounds???)
