Most of my free time this week has been spent working on concept sketches for body armor in Novus Imperium (an original sci-fi universe created by several friends and myself). This page is where I've been wrestling around with the design for my OC, Reina Cloude's, armor. I've been trying to make this armor work for quite some time (as some of my long-time watchers may be aware [link]). I am, however, finally getting the details of the design hammered out.

When designing armor for the ladies, I try to design it practically, so that means no boob-windows or bare midriffs. Reina's armor is about the most skintight battle-gear that'll be featured in Novus Imperium, and in her case there's actually a reason for that: She's a stealth and CQC specialist, which necessitates that her armor be kept light-weight and flexible. I hope I've achieved that look in way that can be considered acceptable (Reina's basically my brainchild, and the last thing I want to do is portray her in a demeaning manner, even accidentally).

No technical specs on the armor's composition, yet. Those will show up when I've got a full-blown reference sheet for Reina's armor.

Great posing, and the armor design is both consistent and fresh. The chest is terms of design is really solid and professional, and doesn't have to stoop to Titillation just to be cool; which is scarce now-days.

Fantastic. And don't worry, this isn't demeaning in the least. She's wearing practical clothing that fits her work, in a truly badass way.

Amazing design! I really like it :D PEople often tend to go WAY to bulky or make everything skintight, but this meets some nice middleground with decent bulk while staying light and limber. A+ design :D

I see by some of your other work that you (like most of us :p) like the Mjolnir armor. This actually reminds me of a thinned down version of it, similar to what the Spartan IVs wear. The bulk of the thigh and knee area reminds me a bit of Ziggy from Xenosaga, but more streamlined and less awkward, and I really like the overall feel of it. She very much looks like she could do some damage.

Is it weird that I would totally trade up for a full or mostly prosthetic body (A-la ghost in the shell) if the option were available to me? im not a soldier or anything, but I already kinda view my body like a machine anyway, and like any machine it needs maintenance now and again, and proper care to be taken. it just does not require an engineer to repair it (indeed it is largely self-repairing)
