Miho-chan's color crazy challenge

When I heard the color crazy challenge was going to be blue and purple, the first place I went was Miho, because she is colorful, crazy and challenging. Also her hair is both blue and purple, so she is all of the above. She completely mastered the challenge even before it was a thing. Miho-chan is the chosen one…

#1 robot friend

at least, I think that was the title for this one. it's been a while...

I really like your vision of color crazy challenge. 🙂

  Kim picked a color scheme that Miho-chan was uniquely qualified to satisfy, so I got lucky there

  Yes, she does have a tendency towards overkill. I try to tell her “easy does it” but will she listen?

#2 hardsuit romance

a rare shot of Miho-chan in full combat armor

Zaklina Maca Miljkovic says:

January 14, 2018 at 8:54 pm

Looks great, although, this armor would be of no use in a battle. 🙂

  Whatever do you mean? It is entirely practical and ergonomic to boot. Speaking of boots, she’s wearing the full boot armor here (torso armor removed)

      She doesn’t appear to be in actual combat, so we might conclude she is in the process of dressing or undressing. I can see that I’ll need to release a version of Miho in full impact armor…

    I don’t know about the efficacy of the armor because I do not know the specifications. Is it necessary to discuss it with Tony Stark?

#3 overkill

Miho would use a cannon to kill a mosquito. She doesn't do restraint, which is disturbing considering she's on the police force...

Restraint can be overrated?

  Restraint is most often underrated but like anything else, it can be taken too far…

      You have the opposing philosophy (the best offense is a good defense) which is fine, until you face a nimble opponent you can’t hit but who can just pick away at your armor until you’re defenseless or they get in a lucky shot
      
      Of course, the nimble opponent starts out vulnerable to a direct hit so both sides have their own inherent weaknesses…

        Long ago, when I was in to fencing, my strategy was to observe opponent, to let her show all her moves. Then, I would strike back until I win. And, of course, I had my fencing suit and mask and glove…. 😀
