Description
For a while ive been a fan of exoskeletons, this is my first attempt at a mech-exosuit hybrid, im not sure what they are typically called... as a sense of perspective i'd say its about 4-5 meters tall.Related content

Looks great.
What color scheme would you use if you were going to texture map this?
I doubt a Hello Kit color palette would be your first choice.

i dont think i'll do hello kitty, i'll probably do some digital type camo with metal technical textures mixed. i was thinking of doing little mermaid but that's only if i dont do the camo.

Those are good ideas too.
Under the zee, under the zee,
this suit lets Ariel kick booty!
That would be a cool idea, exoskeletons for marine dwellers.
How about the Disney Princess exoskeleton series?
The Cinderella exo suit would have flexisteel glass feet.
Would be a challenge to make a cool looking mech and still have enough hints so you knew
which princess the mech was for.
What would the Snow White and Jasmine mechs look like?
I remember seeing something about that people could use custom textures for their Eve Online ships and one example was a Hello Kitty Pink Plasma fighter. I would probably would be sad if I got shot down by one of those.

Haha, yea i would imagine a princess mech would have those really weird fat skirts, i forget what they're called.
And i would kill to get a Hello Kitty space ship on EVE, even though i dont play anymore.

Just had a mental picture of a mech with a skirt, Yikes!
The skirt might get in the way if circle strafing.
I wonder if a skirt will work on a chicken walker or not.
Wonder if anybody will be able to do a Princess Mech with or without skirts?
Probably needs a person who is into Disney Princesses and Mechs.
Maybe Snow white and the 7 dwarves would be a Snow white mech and 7 tanks.
The evil queen would be a mech that can transform into a dragon jet.
Maybe they have a Sanrio posse on Eve, imagine a fleet of ships
that have Hello kitty and her friends on them.
*Shudders*

Hello kitty Titan
I'm into mechs but definitely not into Disney (Pixar maybe) im pretty sure there aren't many people that are interested in both and even if they did it would be unlikely they have the talent to make it. but boy would that be interesting/weird.

You know I think I saw a hello kitty titan somewhere.
There is a hello kitty chainsaw, saw that on a google image search.
We would need a fan of Disney Princesses and Mechwarrior/Battletech.
The person that could cross the divide would be very special.
Maybe it would be a project for 2 people. One person who understands the symbology behind the Disney princesses and someone who knows how to make cool mechs. Definitely would be a good character design challenge.

Yea, the two concepts don't really mesh in the first place, probably wouldn't yield any interesting results in my opinion.

Maybe but I am not sure.
Disney Princess exoskeletons would make it easier, just need a head and shoulders and the exoskeleton.
Will need to follow the color scheme for the character though. Extra points if you can translate the stories to some sort of Mechwarrior/Battletech world.
Ariel would be a special case, she was a mermaid and then she was a normal person.
Do you put her in an exoskeleton that has water inside or do you give her a regular suit?
What would an exoskeleton for a mermaid with a tail look like?
Mechs would be harder because you have to translate the character to a mechanical machine.
Could be easier if you were doing eastern (Gundam) style mechs.
I would do it myself but I have other projects to do.
Would be an interesting project to do, lots of challenge.

Yea i'll fix it, thanks
did you know the Russians didn't care about the passengers in their tanks? for example the T-34 which is considered one of the worlds best tanks at the time. Just thought it was interesting, not saying i dont care about the comfort of the passenger.

hhahahah the russians gave negative fucks about their soldiers, especaially tank crews, t-54 is a fucking deathtrap for the crew. engine exhaust manifolds would bust sometimes, and crews would die of carbon monoxide poisoning

Yea, not exactly the best tank in terms of comfort, shame it could've been so much better.

well crappy but cheap can win wars, numbers do count for something, just look at the germans, best tanks of the war, but so good they were expensive to make in large numbers.

not only that but they were big and difficult to move, if it weren't for that and the expense factor they would probably have won the war. not to mention America had like 30 or 40 shermans for every Tiger. and like 5 to 7 shermans for every panzer.

want to know why germany lost? we (americans) could hit their manufacturing capability, while they could not hit ours. germany was better in every way.

technological, and for a long time the motivational advantage, and the military advantage, WWII era german commanders are some of the best generals in history.
