Erika - Towerclimb

Description

The fourth in a series of character studies for Megatokyo characters, here we have Erika in one of her various jobs that she's worked on over the years.  This is not a new idea, here, this actually harkens back to the original development ideas for Megatokyo and was part of Erika's skill set: megatokyo.com/sketches/dev-004… .  Now, there are a number of things wrong with this image. One of them I'm sure even a layperson can spot, a definate no-no for anyone doing any mast climbing work: She's not wearing a helmet.  Artistic license, please forgive.  The other errors are all in the harness itself.  I took some artistic license with the clasps and carbiners and fall protection stuff (another doh mess up - the line that is holding her up has the fall protection stuff (see the wavy lines of the bundled up strap that releases in a fall - that should be part of the slack fall protection line... well, at least i was thinking of this stuff, even if my rendering of it all is totally wrong.  So, if you are a tower monkey or aquainted with climbing gear, please forgive the errors.

All the detail is amazing! It looks like Erika is posing for an advertisement photo of some kind. I will not criticize Erika for not wearing a helmet, since a) she would sneer at me and b) at a certain point a helmet will not save you from becoming street pizza in a fall.
