A remake of a very old 2004 sketch, suggested by Xac, from back when I was tinkering with the idea of making the Basitins more of a magitech race, to make up for their lack of magic users. They were even going to have airships at one point!

Original sketch:

Cool art, and interesting concept

RemyHindle

Looks like someone came strapped

Aliumas147

.........Oh thights....i mean right you have gun...gets insta killed

VGR

Must have taken well over an hour to spray-paint that suit on.

Bingo Goat

...now get ready for gun

GiantBurger

Basitins and guns just go well together. Meant for each other.

MrWho

And if things go really bad, Hotel Moscow will save the day. 😎

Anders the Mage

Shes got those Riza Hawkeye eyes all she needs is a rifle to match i dig it

JasonAW3

Well, its never too late. It would work quite well as part of the AU 'modern' universe. I could easily envision people like her as a sort of 'Blade Runner' hunting down rogue mages, or as a bounty hunter, or even as regular police. (fuzzy handcuffs included...) 😉😋

Der Burger

It's nice to see how far your skills have improved. Gives me hope that as long as i practice that i can also reach such heights.

Anonymous1988

Am I feeling lucky? Well, yes...𝘢𝘯𝘥 no, for obvious reasons.

Xavier

That's a pretty cool story idea ngl

K_D Lawrence

Reminds me of the rdr 1 cover.

Azhrei Vep

My oh my, that gun in the old picture looks aaaawfully familiar.

Avatardragon

I'd like to imagine that this is an AU version of Jade

Spillthefire6

POV: You made a comment regarding the brevity of Basitin morality concerning her apparel...and now she is showcasing her counterpoint

Spillthefire6

Basitin science is the best in the world

Furryfanatic

It's crazy to see how far you have come in twenty years. Good job.

Thisguy

TBH, with their militaristic culture, it’s very easy to imagine a Basitin strike force in a modern setting, armed with modern assault weapons.

Darwinskeeper

Basitins were supposed to have had airships? Is that where that comment from Karen about getting run over by an airship came from?

RivCA

The only thing I can think of is who did I piss off, and should I anticipate my entrails becoming my extrails?

Auto Spider

A Quote from theRussianbadger "where did you even find a functioning flintlock!?"

Auto Spider

That is a flintlock right from the 16th century

LaughMaker

Basitins cast mundane missile

Xenow Reborn

I am Woman. I have a magic Gun. Argument?: Invalid. Counter Argument?: Omae wa shindeiru.

Thomas Fischbach

Yeah, at one point the Na'Rella was going to end up burning down and the gang escaped to the western side of the island, or that little castle location at the top of the big mountain, and they'd take/steal an airship back to the mainland. But I couldn't figure out how to make the pieces fit back together, and things ended up working out with the eastern Basitins in the end. The extra adventure with the Westerners was ultimately cut, sadly, but there wasn't really any call to go there.

Brad Sampson

magic? no, my dear friend. This is a special substance called potassium nitrate, which is also known as niter. we found that you can increase pressure in tubes when you ignite the powder, and thus can force obstructions out at high velocities. we call these new weapons "guns".

Kurtis Ryan

And thus began the mighty Basilian Empire

ThirdKind

Airship sketch next!

Brigham Garoz

There’s no doubt that King Adelaide would bring her fists to a gun fight.

eddi_TBH

Steampunk Basitans for the win.

eddi_TBH

A Twokinds take on Major Kusanagi from "Ghost In The Shell".

eddi_TBH

Using a mana stone to spark the powder.

eddi_TBH

It bounces off your opponent's forehead knocking him cold. Someone behind you says, "That was neato. But that's not how you use a gun."

SuperTaster

Basitins definitely seem like a Train sort of race. They run on immaculate schedule, and get you where you need to go.

jeffh4

I just have to imagine this is King Adelaide holding a big ol’ hand cannon.

Muddypaws

Gasp! She’s indecent!

Jayuzumi

Big Iron on her hip

Esteban Manzo

It’s never too late for a magitech project!

HanLan

Cavalry has arrived!

GravTempest

I would love to see this beauty colored.

tony1695

Glory be to Garlemald!

SCD

Female Basitin: Good. Bad. I'm the gal with the gun.

Kai Solarie

Dude! I still am in awe on how much your talent has progressed from the early days. That said, Magitech Bastin is still an awesome idea. Maybe a heretofore unknow tribe?

Kai Solarie

Ah, we don't know that for sure....can't see her ankles :D

Fireson

"To tell you the truth, it was rigged from the start"

Jonathan Libby

please color this one it looks really good

Indigo

Personally, I see more inspiration from Outlaw Star, and I actually think it would have been pretty cool for Keith to have one of those caster guns with a limited supply of ammo, and in some back-against-the-wall situation be like, "I guess it's time for a #4, hope it doesn't drain too much of my life energy..."

Netari Icefyng

is that gun magic based for operation?

SophieTRat-Skunk

Not going to lie… this is really not my cup of tea…

Brad Sampson

in this context, probably. but tom has stated that while basitins are the closest to gunpowder, it would still be a ways off. i think that from a story standpoint that makes sense, but gunpowder is super old, with the earliest records being from 850 China, where they were used as javelin launchers.

Netari Icefyng

I asked the question on the forum if Basitin could use magic enchanted weapons like a staff that draws in it's own mana.

BrighteyesOK

Oh man, magitek Basitin would have been SICK!

MR, ABYSS

Ok here me out. Ak47 natani ooorrrr, sniper sythe.

Richard Chambers

I would have on the halo MARK-6 armor with a skull painted on the chest plate and pointing an MA5 assault rifle at her

Brad Sampson

i would suspect not, since we've seen what happens when they try to use magic from the tower, and since they would be harnessing the power of whatever they are holding, it would most likely have the same effect.

Onyx Dragon 388

Basitin with a gun is my new favorite meme lol

ADDMcGee

Outlaw Star caster guns, yes please.

eddi_TBH

Too real world? Guns vs. swords changed our history and not entirely for the better.

Chaos Lord

That is a super cool idea

Chaos Lord

As it is right now, they only seem to be infantry and ships so airships sounds pretty cool

J. Martin Laursen

When you are looking at the wrong end of a barrel, pray that is an evil person at the other end.

J. Martin Laursen

An evil person will want to gloat. A good person will just pull the trigger.

Delta Hawk

That's a cool concept. Love how you drew her like Celes Chere who was my favorite character from the game and... had a small, tiny, minor crush... ... who am I kidding... I used to wish she was real! lol

Randomation

And for her neutral special, she uses gun!

Netari Icefyng

I think the tower had an effect on them..... i don't think an enchanted item that draws in it's own energy would effect them.

wjd1206

I don't see Sythe as the sniper personality, I think that would be more Natani's speed. Focused combatant. I COULD imagine Sythe as a combat medic....

wjd1206

I tend to agree. It is akin to saying that we could fire a bullet (i.e.: use magic) without the firearms chamber or barrel (i.e: the enchanted item the magic is contained in). But then, what do I know?

Kaija

The Gun Basitin is badass as hell ! I would love to see her in the story (even if she would end up, obviously, more clothed if she appeared in the story XD)
