Feather's Defense Shield - first version

Currently upping the pilot on Tapastic: http://tapastic.com/series/Chronicles-of-Aetolan

This has to be reworked next, because it doesn't work in the comic. It must be faster and easier to understand (and draw).
In this version, the device shoots from her bracelet in emergencies, but it seems awfully complex for the job. I'm trying to find a simpler shape and connection. Trying gloves, as well.
