I cannot draw, so I instead spent quite a bit of effort a while back on this three-foot tall, four-panel framed display:

Although this club is focused on the Valkyrie Squadron, I think Monica and Dorothea deserve similar recognition, so feel free to share anything creative you've done!

I don't want to sound mean, but that picture seriously creeps the shit out of me. It's like one of those war memorial photo walls in the real world, though those heroes I've seen aren't usually immortalized by that kind of tortured expression... They also tend to have monochrome pictures and black ribbon over top corners. I'm really a bit scared to look at your display again.

Anyway, here's someone on Pixiv I came across a few months ago:

My sincerest apologies. The only official anime images of Liliana and Marika are the ones in which they have terrified expressions, and I decided to use similar cockpit views of Monica and Dorothea for harmony. I was very pleased with how it turned out, and I was definitely not expecting a reaction like yours. I honestly don't know how to respond, but if others feel the same way as you do, let me know, and I'll remove the image.

Yesterday I was checking out the Boorus and found someone made a 3D version of her, based on a drawing by that Pixiv guy called Saga: http://illusioncards.booru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=43393#

No, I did not. I'm not familiar with "Illusion Cards", but whoever made them is very creative!

The only Marika and Liliana cards that I know exist are their character cards from the Sunrise Crusade trading card game:
http://www.carddass.com/crusade/cardlist/decksrc/201207/1341859826.html
There's no sign an English version will ever be made, so I'm not familiar with the detailed rules. However, that didn't stop me from tracking down copies of Liliana and Marika (as well as Monica and Dorothea). Their cards' flavor text is simply the phrase they utter just before their Knightmares explode... That makes me really sad, actually.

The cards... They're basically character generation save files for a porn game. Potentially heinous in my opinion, but that's one of the things people often do to characters they like.

I actually have the game so I opened the file and had a look. Marika is tiny, short like boderline developmentally stunted. In the manga she's also tiny, no wonder people on her wikia page are blasting Leonhardt.

I don't know what the fuck is going on, but on Pixiv, there's a ton of Marika and Liliana's lewds. The majority of Monica pics are lewds, already. What's your opinion?

Nt on Pixiv made an absolutely stunning picture of Dorothea! Now THIS is a character who could rake in millions for Sunrise! 😍 If they want to appeal to a broader range of people instead of just their hardcore fans who are so obsessed with Lelouch that they are totally convinced he is the only one who could ever be right, they need to give these girls the story and justice they deserve. And if Sunrise corporate has a nose for Yen, they'll recognize this opportunity.

Why should I fight for Britannia? The waifus are hotter and there is actually a group of people who are willing to set aside their differences to get along. Great job sabotaging the second SAZ, Lelouch! You nearly got a million people killed and made Gino act out of his canonical character from the novel. Ugh . . . maybe the light novel and new show writers will actually work together so everyone's motivations remain consistent so the story isn't just about making Lelouch placating his ego look righteous.

miura-n315 made an amazing picture of Dorothea, Nonette, and Monica thanks to a devoted commissioner! Which is now my profile picture. :-3
https://www.deviantart.com/miura-n315/art/commission-Code-Geass-905151957

And here's a stunning image of Monica with the Florence by MRGunn-Art.

And another one of Monica in traditional Polish attire with a fiddle in the countryside.

And here's Dorothea working on a Sutherland. C.C.'s got nothing on her. 😍
https://www.deviantart.com/flowerxl/art/Dorothea-Ernst-Code-Geass-901082313

Dorothea after she was captured by Lelouch in a much better ending.

Dorothea teasing her swimming partner with her . . . chocolate cakes by Hayes-Irina.
https://www.deviantart.com/hayes-irina/art/Dorothea-commission-898840190

By the same artist as before, here's Dorothea in an absolutely GORGEOUS red dress asking for a dance! This will convert a few C.C. stans for sure. 🀭 Just don't look down. Unless you're short. In which case, don't get too lightheaded and forget the steps. πŸ˜‰

Here's some art of Dorothea and Nonette! One is of Dorothea working out in an attractive gym outfit πŸ‘ like the tomboy I hope she turns out to be (not the gratingly unlikable kind like Kallen) and the other is Nonette showing off why she was so loved by the players of "Lost Colors"!

Oh, and a third of Dorothea captured by Lelouch, but it turns out--GASP--she's a Code Bearer named D.D., which is why she was able to survive! Maybe with this power, she will be able to expose Suzaku as the world's biggest liar and surviving war criminal and finally avenge Monica and Bismarck.

Hm, is there a chance for her to be First Consort? Maybe his personal attendant. :-3

Here's one of Dorothea working out in a gym, and an absolutely incredible picture of Orpheus saving Monica from the wreck of the Florence! And one of Dorothea holding a funeral for all of those lost during the "battle" for the capital. A short distance behind her burns the remains of her KMF, the Palomides. The sword in front of her is called a shamshir sword, a lesser-known Middle Eastern weapon that originated in Egypt. And thanks to her damaged pilot suit, more beautifully toned Dorothea abs are always welcome! πŸ₯΅ And here's Nonette being her usual slightly perverted self as she and Dorothea goof around at the beach. Dorothy's used to her shenanigans by now, but that doesn't mean she finds them amusing! Finally, here's one of Nonette being flirty at the beach. It's little wonder the Ladies were killed off: Their beauty alone would have eclipsed the popularity of all of the main characters if they had been properly utilized. Thank you, Dorothea, for being in Nonette's place so she could survive and hopefully avenge you and Monica some day.

Got me pegged. πŸ˜… I stopped writing fanfictions after I kept clashing with Lelouch fanboys who believed the Knights of the Round were 100% in the wrong and that Lelouch was so very brilliant for Zero Requiem. After a little gaslighting from their end and a few arguments, I decided it was time to stop. I couldn't have fun writing while I kept being attacked, and the quality of my writing declined more and more until I didn't care anymore. Why waste time with it when I can write my own original stories? So I decided to commission fanart. Beautiful ladies do get attention, and a picture is worth a thousand words. I'm very happy that many of these works are far and above the quality of a lot of Code Geass fanart, so these will stand out significantly--particularly since they feature such rare and fantastically designed characters. :-3

Yeah, I live with my parents and have saved up far more than I need. I'll only be commissioning a few more at this point.

I already did. It's a shame he was pressured so badly. Our love for this forgotten character shouldn't have made him want to stop. The problem is when someone gets well-known for drawing a specific character, that one's fans may think it's the only character he's going to focus on. I also love the other pictures he's drawn because his style is so crisp and distinct, but because Monica is so casually dismissed by the greater Code Geass fandom, her fans tend to become as obsessive with her as Lelouch's fans are of him. Ironic.
