The second image that I commissioned from Leshawk! This one again features Iliyana Kopanisti, but this time in power armor!
With this outfit, her belly only has so much room to expand, so she is significantly less likely to devour her enemies like this. However, that means she doesn't care as much about leaving them alive in order to eat them, so there's a give and take.
Her usual outfit colors happen to already match with the Sisters of Battle as it is, so that style of armor seemed a good fit - but I wanted a different symbol from the skulls, since they were a bit on the nose. So, Lesh made her kneepads resemble the ring on her staff.
I like how this came out. The light shining down on her, the crowd looking on in awe or terror - both valid reactions. Plus, she has a badass cape, some sick fucking pauldrons, and a couple other components that have been-- we'll just say she yoinked them from defeated enemies. One of them was quite crunchy, and very high in iron. The other promised to make her hurt.

Pretty neat armor though shame she can't eat as freely while in it. I say that might need to be fixed but I don't design armor. Still looks cool though I kinda feel inclined to ask if she's in the same verse as your other OCs or not

She's part of the same verse, yeah. Kashkavania, Iliyana's homeworld, is one of the many "Outworlds" in the setting - that is, one of the worlds that Mojie has a connection to via a portal. Think of Mojie like a Spyro hub world and you'd get the gist of it. Earth is another "Outworld", with the only extant portal being on Satorippon.
Societally, Kashkavania is basically akin to the medieval Mediterranean. However, the portal to Mojie opened recently, and new technology has been pouring in well before the societal developments that happened in our timeline, so everything's going to hell in a handbasket. Kashkavania is also the homeworld of Dolce Torrona, Arianwen Arlais, and Edwyn Macsen Pantysgawn - though I haven't released anything with Arianwen yet, and Edwyn has only appeared in the very non-canon "Gender Studies".

Yeah there's alot I need to read up on in regards to this world's lore. I know there's alot but I definitely I still need to learn. If I remember right, Mojie is Rosemonde's world right?

Yeah, Mojie is Rosemonde's world. It's where most of the cast lives, or at least the plurality.

Makes sense for the creator (if I'm remembering right) to live in the center, especially since they're also correspondent to the Yellow Dragon of the Center

Mojie just kinda happened as a part of everything else, Rosemonde didn't inhabit it until a couple thousand years ago.
Whereas Iliyana wears the Warhammer influence on her sleeve, Rosemonde descending and then eventually starting a big Unification War against a bajillion other states to create a globe-spanning Imperium was, in fact, coincidental.

Funny how this lines up. Though it seems Iliyana doesn't worship Rosemonde unless her deity is simply Rosemonde under another name. Either way, can't wait to see more of this gluttonous inquisitor. Hope she gets to go on a mass vore

The Kashkavanian pantheon does not include Rosemonde; and Rose themselves doesn't present themselves as a religious figure. To YHVH-y for their liking, especially since they do not like YHVH.
I might take notes from Zamil Akhtar's Gunmetal Gods series in making the majority of the Kashkavanian pantheon weird and eldritch and fucked up. I've only jotted down concepts for Spana and the primordial deities as a sort of representation of time - creation, preservation, and destruction. But since that is a little too similar to the "Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva" thing, maybe I'll have it more as a "Trinity-and-a-half" with an aspect of mutation that causes them all to cycle their roles and names. Maybe the god is depicted like a triskelion of sorts, three arms passing around three objects? Dunno.
But making all the other gods weird and eldritch would make Spana stand out even more for Iliyana's specific worship, since as a direct messenger between people and the gods, she would take a more human form - kinda like how angels only get really weird in the upper circles?

Interesting ideas here, especially since I've found that kind of "clap your hands if you believe" style of deities to be a bit too frequent nowadays. I enjoy it but it's everywhere really. I think maybe an aspect of rebirth/recreation could be interesting as an addition wherein things that may still have potential or that can serve as foundation for the future become part of a new existence and either grow or decline as time goes on, become something else entirely perhaps. Though Iliyana's perspective on it might be allowing lowlier existences to contribute to her radiance by becoming one with her waistline

I imagine that's her main execution method when eating someone is out of the question?
