Wow... Been over a year since I uploaded any mecha... I think the last one was the Bohgon...Anyway! Sorry friends, I have been U - L - T - R - A busy in Game-dev work to point where severe deadlines and immense and complex workloads have actually been making me lose weight that I don't need to lose... Really... August was a massive workload for me, however I did find time to draw something that's been kicking around in my head. Again, it's not done, and I'm sorry to say I'm not sure WHEN it'll get done. But, I made something none-the-less.
On D.A. I see a lot of people using odd color schemes, to be specific Neon-Green, Gray, and other muted colors. I find them on Anthromorphy, on Disney esque animals (mostly on those) and while I tip my hat to the Boldness of color experimentation, I'm still not a fan of those art styles, but again, I tip my hat to those who do them and enjoy them.
Neon-Green and a Muted Charcoal green for a color scheme was stuck in my head and my mind presented it as a challenge to SOLEY base a design off of this color scheme. If you notice you'll see a continuing pattern of shapes... And believe it or not this suit was reversed-engineered by me. Typically, I try to come up with the head, or shoulders, or even chest first, but the legs and shoulder pod were the leading shapes that I was trying to preserve. I realized that the suit would look good with a Red-color scheme, sort of a muted rose... seems to go nicely I think. No doubt for the storyline they'll come in all colors. The colored crest is sort of a test I'm doing with the suit...
originally, It was gonna be a non-transforming suit, no color variations, but my mind worked something else out. This unit acts in tandem with 2 other units. The main MS (we'll call as Spade a spade here... Its an R-R), the Main Mecha has 2 of these units docked to it for high speed power-trios operations. Each Raptor docks to either the top or bottom of the "Mother Unit" which transforms. The mother unit may be two units, not sure yet...
The suit is essentially a high-speed non-transforming mass production suit meant for Ace pilots. If your wondering (comparing) it's faster and more agile than the Voltaire, though the Voltaire does have potential to be faster if it was equipped with boosters. After all the Voltaire is a Light-Air-Artillery, this unit is basically an Interceptor.
This version isn't even the original, there are 5+ variants of this suit that I have yet to upload... dunno when... kinda lazy today cause I'm break from game-dev work.
One minor note, I would prefer people to keep their improvement ideas to themselves until I'm done with the suit, that way there's no out-side help designing it. I'm always one for constructive criticism and it's something everyone needs, but having too many cooks in the kitchen spoil the soup. And I'm the Head Chef.
But It's still rough, the general concept has been achieved and more time and variations are needed to refine it.
