Adding Armor

Time was that I loved drawing tech and robots and spaceships... but I also had a set way of drawing them that was pretty simple compared to how tech is rendered in comics nowadays. but times have changed, and the look of tech is much more complex. Hell, the Iron Man movie raised the bar to a whole new level in th public consciousness, and I'm barely able to keep up. Now how does one draw an armored female character without making her look just like a female in a space suit? Still working on that one...
