Description
Gestural warmup sketches transform themselves into bio-/myo- suits with very little effort on my part. : PNot sure if they're truly organic or pseudo-organic in nature, but I was thinking of something along the lines of
thomastapir.deviantart.com/art…
in that the operator/pilot interfaces with and controls the exoskeleton as an extension of his/her own body.
TOP LEFT - Extreme cold-weather variant...Exploration of outer-fluid-giant moon systems??
RIGHT - I guess I pictured this one specialized for a female operator due to its gracility (and the presence of BEWBS, no matter how vestigial); but in the same way the apparent "gender" of an anime mecha (usually) has no relation to the sex of its pilot, I imagine something similar here.
Though a dood may have to put up with teasing for riding a GIRL'S BIKE. God knows I did
BOTTOM LEFT - The invasive appearance of the metabolic interface (i.e. respiratory cables) wasn't deliberate, but I kind of like it...I like the implication that the human operator is reduced to an almost fetal or coma-like state, completely dependent upon the machine for life support. (Remember "MOTHER" from "Alien"...?)

Top left - how does it manipulate stuff? I see no arms or tentacles or anything like that...
Bottom left - does human operate it subconsciously or in some altered state?

Oh, it doesn't need them...I was thinking of an observation or reconnaissance role.
No, the humans are fully conscious and aware...The machine is just wired directly into the nervous system, so they operate it like an extension of the body.

Aw man, I hate to tell you this but you're asking the wrong guy...That's not something I know much about, unfortunately for both of us. : /
Let's see, first thought offhand is
www.amazon.com/Future-Evolutio…
Though nuclear war isn't specifically covered, the book does discuss the plants and animals that would most likely inherit the earth in the aftermath of a total anthropogenic environmental collapse...So, if nothing else, the author makes some realistic suppositions about the hardiest organisms that might survive such a disaster.
Hmm, there must be information about this subject available on the internet...Hey, worst-case scenario (not, like, NUCLEAR-worst), post a journal entry and wait for feedback from the spec-y types! I can also put some feelers out there if you'd like.
Sounds like a cool project, best of luck!

The bottom left is, in my perspective, is more like an one-way entry for the operator. Devouring most part of the human body to keep him/her in the suit permanently. This raised me a lot of question of its purpose.

Hah, we've been down this road (gullet??) before:

Consuming human body while getting its own smaller. This adds injury to the 'walking pack of cigarettes' theory.
My wows won't stops when realized that.

The attenuated limbs, maybe? Also it's the only quadrupedal/centaurine design here.

Aquaman is actualy a giant isopod wearing a plastic human costume he bought at a drug store. Little known fact.
