A few comments about the overall design. I wanted the pants to be clean looking but not boring. I wanted to keep the number of lines down, making each stroke that much more meaningful and not lost in a clutter of gratuitous detail, the idea being that years down the road it won't have that dated look. By keeping everything minimal (by most gaming standards), hopefully the eye is drawn more towards her gun and holster which is what she is all about. If you look at Lara Croft, her costume is even more simplistic.
For her footwear, it seemed natural to give her that badass look with large steel toed black leather monstrosities, but I decided to give her light weight racing flats instead. The idea is that she is extremely fast and mobile. Again the shoes tie into that minimalist look.
I added the wool hat and scarf at the last minute. It gives her that personal touch, tells everyone that she's just an everyday girl with a life and personality. It provides something that most people can relate to and she isn't just some humanoid abstraction that runs around with a gun killing aliens.
