Description The 5th annual Novus Imperium sketchdump.  It's a bit late and a bit sparse this year.  Technological problems pretty severely impeded my productivity in the latter half of 2017, and I hadn't done a ton of NI work in the first half of the year.  I've just about got things sorted out over here, so I'm hoping for a much more productive 2018.

I don't know why, but I definitely like the design of the white and purple helmet in the upper right hand corner.

God, your work in Sci-Fi is so wonderful, I'm always pleasantly surprised whenever I see a notification for it, and your design for Reina is one of my favorite designs of anything, ever. It conveys so much personality while looking sleek and cool as hell.
Eagerly awaiting any new work you put out.

Been watching you for a long time, and I really love your character and scifi armour designs. They have that great mix of futuristic but also grounded that I find hard to pin down.

I have to say, I adore how tanky your armor looks, as well as how sleek your body suits look.  Makes me jealous that I don't have one.  XD

Thick thigh scifi ladies crew represent!
I had a hunch and scouring your gallery seems to confirm, I'm not sure we've seen Reina in combat outside of isolated action poses. I'm not that great at showing my Elemental ladies doing their work either, but yeah, take that as a request

I love the work you have done in this world. Is there plans for a Table Top RPG setting for all this?

That's one direction I could go with it.  I'm definitely more of a world-builder than I am a story writer, and that lines up well with how TTRPGs are usually put together.

If you do decide to branch into TTRPGs with the Novus Imperium Setting I suggest the Cypher System (www.montecookgames.com/store/p… ) or the Genesys System (www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/… ) with maybe some ship to ship combat borrowing from Starfinder

I hope you do do a TTRPG with this! I'd sign up day one for a kickstarter!

AW that's pretty cool, the body suits are basically a second layer of disposable muscle and skin tissue. Amazing concept!

Tekka-Croe In reply to Spirogs [2018-01-29 22:54:55 +0000 UTC]

Essentially correct, at least in the case of the KAIROS bodysuits.  The thing that really sets them apart from standard bodysuits is their neural interlink and the tactile sensory layer seen in the diagram.  The tactile net doesn't have the same degree of sensitivity as organic skin or the KAIROS' cybernetic limbs; it mostly just senses pressure, and it has a relatively low cut-off ceiling for how strong of a sensation it can transmit (this prevents the wearer from being overwhelmed by sensation when the bodysuit absorbs strong impacts like long falls or gunfire).

Right, because whats the point of armor when you can still feel the pain? haha.
Thats pretty cool dude.
