Description "As the sun slowly sets in the distance and the day draws to a close, so does the short reign of terror on Gliese-581."Β 

"Starting at approximately 8:43 AM in the morning, an unknown group of bandits hijacked a passing cargo vessel carrying AP-4 type powered armor suits, equipped with standard MS-10 assault rifles and hundreds of rounds ammunition, as well as dozens of surface-to-surface shoulder fired missiles and valuable nuclear batteries used on powered suits and spacecraft. According to various reports, the group of bandits then decided to descend down onto the surface of Gliese-581 and attempt to get inside the various civilian habitats and scientific research installations via brute force. What then ensued was a small battle between underequipped local authorities and the group of bandits which lasted approximately 30 minutes, before the police were forced to perform reportedly a "tactical withdrawal from the area". When nearly all hope was lost however, the Esternan Navy and 501st Powered Armor Division arrived on the scene after receiving a distress message from the crew of the hijacked vessel and quickly moved into action, swiftly dispatching the untrained enemy powered armor."

Thank you kindly! I can see what you mean by SNES vibes, it almost makes me want to redraw this in a limited palette like in the good old days.

Very Dynames-like in design

BlastWaves In reply to AxelHenson [2018-01-28 21:43:42 +0000 UTC]

Most definitely, it is based on the GN-002 without the full shield assembly.

This reminds me so much of Armored Core 4 Answer. Very fine piece.

Thank you! It definitely looks a bit like some of the desert missions in it.

Love me some damn nice power armour. Or battlesuits. Either way, that's a damn cool design!

BlastWaves In reply to Snowy-Aegis [2018-01-28 21:36:49 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Battlesuit definitely sounds cooler than powered armor, I'd say.

I use the term to define something larger than typical power armour, but not what you'd expect of a proper mech.

Very fine piece. About the only minor critique I might have is the crescent moon or planet in the background. When an astronomical object is in crescent phase, the horns of the crescent shouldΒ always point away from the source of illumination.

(Sorry. I'm an astronomy geek.)

You're completely correct, I rotated it to the position it should be in now, thanks.

Well then, I just learned something new.

Thank you for that.
