Description My take on the queen's latest threads. Lineart drawn during recent stream, colored on my own time.
The shape and mechanisms here are based on how I draw her regular suit, but all stripped down, with a bunch of pieces and panels missing. I don't know what the actual story here is, since the game isn't out yet, but I imagine this is might be what the fusion suit looks like after it's had some (but not enough) time to regrow missing components. The knee pads, ankle plates, and visor shape are the only exceptions to this blueprint continuity, but they're all pretty signature for the Dread Suit, and were thus necessary changes.
The Federation had a hand in making the original Fusion Suit, and did so without access to advance Chozo technology, hence the inclusion of a helmet cam and a bulkier sensor suite.
Those are supposed to be a racks of energy tanks in the shoulders. The fusion suit had them ingrown, but this one has enough armor to mount them externally again, but not enough to cover them with anything more than the power-hardening circuit. As such, they represent a substantial vulnerability.
I never liked how the abdomen armor of her suits are always just seamless metal that bends(?), so I usually draw it as metal ribbing over top of musculature. Here is no exception, but the ribbing isn't grown to cover the whole region yet.
