Description A quick sketch done to see if I can still fit my armor around a figure without bending reality too much, hadn't done this in a while (with fair results).
So what is cheated a bit?
The armor is pretty thin in places in order to maintain an agile look.
Also something I continue to ponder the technical significance of is that the chin of the helmet does not extend below the pilots chin. Maybe it's only my own view of aesthetics, but making the helmet too tall breaks the look for me.

It kind of reminds me of the Scout armor from Halo 3, but unique enough that it is its own thing. The chest is neat, too.

The halo3 scout helm was my favorite of the bunch. Though this came long before they thought it up

The chin area looks sweet to me, and I can't reeeeally tell where the armor is thinned out, so that looks fine too

I think it looks great, I didn't even seen the EVA resemblance until someone pointed it out. I mentally compared it to the Mark V. [B] helmet from Halo: Reach.

Shimmering-Sword In reply to bladewolf000 [2011-03-28 00:59:29 +0000 UTC]

I'd much rather be compared to halo than eva, at least they are the same thing, instead of just obscure detail comparisons

I know this helmet has been a relatively reoccurring design but was the Mark V. [B] and inspiration?

If I never bough an xbox and Halo1 way back my power armor wouldn't look like it does now, but I've never actually referenced anything from halo while designing.

I'd have to agree with the Neon Genesis Evangelion look but it's still damn good as usual.
