Over at Women in Fantastical Illustration on fb, a bunch of us took on the challenge of redesigning a female character, and I picked Seven of Nine!  You can see more examples of the challenge posted at Muddy Colors,io9, and Tor.

I decided to retain a lot about her appearance, from her hairstyle to the remaining cyborg implants on her hand, cheek, and eyebrow.  I also gave her the same build - though here, it’s not exaggerated by a corset, a shimmery skintight catsuit, high heels, and careful lighting/posing/framing, as on the show and promo for same, so it’s not as obvious.

Still, I tried to do justice to the long tradition of jumpsuits on Star Trek, keeping in mind the tendency of the Borg to value functionality - and I added a dash of emerging individuality to suit Seven’s narrative arc.

This is everything I’ve ever wanted for Seven <3 

I’m still on hiatus while I’m kicking ass at University, but I had to log in and share this with you all, given our previous conversations about Seven’s catsuits.

This is the outfit she deserved.

It fits her character perfectly. I could totally see her experimenting with accessories and more colour as the seasons progressed and she developed more of her humanity, but we all know that if our favourite ex-drone had been costumed in a way that was actually true to her character she would have been wearing something like this.
