An in-deapth look at Vengeance armor design

Here is a quick mockup of that concept....still a w.i.p. obviously

:o

It would be great if everyone could keep their artwork up (hosted) for a few more weeks. I really want to put all the concept and work-in-progress stuff on the DS site. Unfortunately I'm in Iraq, so my ability to control the site is somewhat limited. Turns out my second in command is AFK for a few days too.

I love where we're going with this. Keep up the brainstorming.

omgwtf, damn... that's some hot shyte! here's something more for you to work with. removed the dress armor and the split toe. slight mod to the helmet. I'll work out the details in the helmet when the body is at satisfactory status.

once again comments are welcome.


PS, jet pack will be added later.

[edit]
after a brief discussion with Neek, i think this will be the design for the light armor. instead of the med. back to the drawing board.:redx:

Tacky, you are the drunken illustration grandmaster.
I bow before you.

TacTric, you are speeding your way towards honorary Vet-dom.

That's really sweet Tacky. Keep it up

Here is another quick update.....

Just to clarify the discussion Tacky and I had:
I mentioned that this design seems to be more consistant with the light armor posted in beginning of the thread. Specifically, the leg armor to the knee, the lower arm armor, and the lighter chestplate. All he really has to do is remove one of the shoulder plates and it's pretty much a light.
Tacky wants to modify the way that one shoulder plate works so it will fit better w/ the chestplate. meaning the chestplate might change a bit.
The design for the current chestplate will likely migrate to the medium in beefier form. (from what i gathered)

It's his project though. Don't get the impression that I'm steering his direction or anything. Just pointing out what someone else already mentioned in this thread.

nice again tacky...
as far as whether its light or med...it could go either way I suppose. Throw on some Big ass jetpacks and you got a medium. Take off one of the shoulder pads and put some smaller jetpacks on and you got a light. :)
I'll see about updating my light female concept and working on a medium one in a few days when I get back.

If everything gets done and everybody doesn't hate each other by the end, we'll probably begin discussions on starwolf.

But that's just the obvious thought, I don't want to even think about it until we see some DS models in game.

any comments that will stear this project in the "correct" direction are more that welcomed. well for me anyways. and anyone who wants to input their ideas and illustration should be encouraged.

All this looks really good, but why not hidding completely the face of the DS like they did on the T1 and T2 armors?
And as its already been said, its hard to tell if this could be a medium or light.
The helmet looks like it could be a medium one tho.

I smell a community made singleplayer campaign introducing the first traces of Diamond Sword tribes.

The helmet looks like it could be a medium one tho.

That's a good point. While the rest of the body fits the description of a light perfectly, it seems difficult to imagine a helmet bigger than this one while still having an open mouth (like the Imperial's).

TacTric: can you play with designs for the helmet that would be lighter and heavier than your current one, but still fit on the rest of that body? I don't doubt that the current one is badass and deserves to be in-game, but variations on the theme are needed to move forward.

I'm imagining something like a ninja head wrap with something solid to cover the eyes. Not very crusader-like, but it could work...

I started on a design, but it's bedtime, so I'll settle for an incredibly rough draft.

Concept 99 (www.angelfire.com/indie/reklaw/concept99.jpg)

I may actually draw a complete one tomorrow (tonight), now that I have a working idea and the time to do it in.

Bad host, Plague. Can't see it...
