Captain Elika redesign (MMXU49)

This is an attempt to redesign my character Captain Elika from Mega Man X: Unit 49 into a style more coherent with the Mega Man X standards. This is old design:



Okay, this drawing was really hard to do. At least the result was infinitely better than that early 2015 artwork I put there just for you to laugh at. This new appearance is supposed to look more like a high-ranked military/Maverick Hunter, and is notably inspired in the design of Signas, his mentor. There is a symbolic reason behind that, since Elika assumes the leadership of the Maverick Hunters in a certain way during the Neo Maverick War. The redesign started with me struggling to sprite Elika's P-Quadgun in different angles. It's nearly impossible to sprite the guns without distorting them, and so I began trying many different designs, and this is the attempt I most liked. (in terms of appearance, not "spriteability")
I just finished revamping his sprite, so I'll need a lot more patience to redo his sprite once again. If that happens, this design will be used in Season 3 and afterwards.
