Description
More DEV artwork: House Spaeta's "Argus" armor. The painted "maw" of the helmet is a homage to MP Evas, and the head knife is a nod to both Robot Unicorn Attack [YES!] and Gundam Unicorn. The large claw on the back can be bound to one of the arms; since it can swing around and change sides as necessary, it also functions as a 'tail' of sorts to assist balance.Related content

Ok, I officially want this armor, it's just that badass. Given the chance to modify it I would put another head-knife on the other side of the helmet, but that's just my OCD talking. Overall very excellent design you have here.

My fav part of this has to be the fact that the first rendition of the helmet looks like a big mean smile.

well i got to say its a nice design but somehow i dont like the claw, if it was me i would add them as portable, it should stick on the arm and with 1 button it would slide and over the hand nice and easy xD

O_O; I didn't notice how it worked at first, but you have a pretty great concept! The idea of having a huge weapon or a claw attached to one arm has been around a while, and its an impractical idea to say the least as it heavily messes up the balance of the character/creature/robot using the weapon unless they have some thing to counter balance it. But using the claw its self for balance by having it trail behind the character like a cape is just... FRIGEN BAD ASSS!!!! 8D and functional at the same time! The only problem is that you still have nothing to counter balance the claw when its actually being used in combat; but then you can always just say that the character just adjusts their balance to compensate for the claw just before they go into combat. I also like how you made the face plate look like teeth!
Aside from that, great suit design, as always!
btw... I am back in the art world!

It'll be easy to come up with an excuse for the weight issue hahaha

yeah thats understandable, hey its fiction! If it looks cool do it... as long as you have a logical explanation for it afterwards that isn't "ITS MAGIC!"

er did I mention this is powered armor?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I figured that part on my own! Either way, it doesn't make up for the weight. In fact, it matters even more!

A neat solution sometimes makes for a boring story. The claw could well be an add-on and requires operator experience to use properly. Perhaps it's a grappling tool used mainly to latch onto mechs and rip open armor and equipment. It might be that using it requires the other hand to brace against something. Conditions like those help make for a more interesting story than a perfect solution would.

is it spreading wings ?

The claw is sort of an amalgam of all the stuff that people having flowing behind their characters, be it wings, a scarf, or a cape.
That said I did have pans for a design with two claws hanging on the back to look like wings.

Wow, love the head knife idea.
Can this armor clock itself from enemy sight? It looks like Argus just popped out of nowhere behind the Resartus in your "Demons of the Sovereignty v2" pic.
Sorry for something pointless. lol
