It's so tough it doesn't need a gun;) It might have inbuilt weapons in the arms - i was thinking of opening up the forearm to show some kind of gun in there or perhaps i might go back and add an assault rifle slung on a strap over its back.

[Coolhand]

Ok, changed the suit so it has forearm mounted gattling guns with ammo feeds from the shoulders, the new version is also a bigger res.:)

[Dallidas]

very cool! but the head makes it look like an angry bunny.

[Freak]

that cool, it keeps the hands free, so the user does not have to waoory about putting there gun down when having to use both hands.

[Firelode]

Looks good, whats the melee weapon it's carrying? Or is it a device of somekind? Anyway nice suit, 38m jump height means the walls are going to have to be pretty high!

[Coolhand]

Dallidas, There is nothing scarier than an angry bunny... the head is meant to be slightly non-threatening and kind of faceless, and i might have taken a slight bit of inspiration from Appleseed. The 'ears' are passive receptors for the sensor system.

Freak, yep though it would possibly have a larger bore assualt rifle for taking on armoured targets, the ammo feeds also give a reason for the oversized shoulders which i was more pleased than anything about as i couldn't really think of a reason why they should be so large.

Firelode, it's a just a big can-opener.;) 38m is probably a bit high for its jump! but then i didn't state how strong a gravity field that could be achieved in, lets say thats 38m on the moon.:D

[XRaiderV1.7]

nice.

the bunny thing is a bit on the creepy side though.

[Coolhand]

nice.

Thanks, it's meant to be:)

[Stev0]

Looks like something from Palladium's RIFTS.

Cool

[biotech]

I love it, looks like an updated version of Acroyear, although theres probably not many people here will get that reference.

Will this be making an appearence in 3D any time soon?

[cudlla]

It some how remidns me Glitterboy 10 Power Armor Suit with those horn-like stumps coming from the helmet.

[Coolhand]

i think thats the same thing that Stev0 compared it to. Welcome to SFM btw.:)

Biotech, possibly, i think i'd make some modifications to the helmet but i'd leave most of it as its depicted here, it's just a question of finding the time really, at least with the paintings you can quickly crank out ideas without spending a week modelling. If anybody's interested in taking a stab at making a 3d model of this or the other suit then they are more than welcome.

[korborak]

Great and sleek design! Love it!!
It also reminded me of the RIFT card game... ;)

[Meph]

Love the helmet!
Design-wise, it coudl fit into the RIFTS universe without a sweat

[Aramanthus]

Excellent drawing!
