Description
A concept piece for my co-op portfolio at college. Has taken waaaay longer to complete than I wanted it too, but I'm still very slow when it comes to digital paint.Related content

Thank you! A lot of work went into making the design!

its never easy especially when you want it to look a certain way, it can feel endless at times.

This is Halo worthy Power Armor right here

One of the best power armor designs i have seen in a long time. Not highly bulky, but at the same time, not a piece the exists more to show off the operators figure than to protect. Also complicated enough to look high tech, without falling into technology porn territory. All in all, a good balance. Your accolades are well deserved, good sir.

Why thank you. I wanted to create something that allowed a good balance between mobility and protection, while still being practical yet have a sense of style.

100% guaranteed protection against knee-seeking arrows.

Hi! Great piece of work. I was wondering.... I'm a digital sculptor and i've been looking to do some hardsurface pieces to practice some new techniques. Was wondering if you wouldn't mind if i used this concept. I'd credit you of course and link back to your work/website.

sure, go ahead. just remember the credit, yaddah yaddah. And it'd be cool to see a link.

I did play the Doom BFG edition while I was doing this, so I guess some of that got channelled in. They had really cool helmets.

yeah, if they ever made a doom movie that wasn't terrible, this should be the armor

This... is perfect for the stuff I wanted for the setting I had in mind... or at least one of the closest possibilities out of a bunch of great concepts. Very well done, sir. You have my favorite.

why thank you, it is most appreciated. It was a fun suit to design, to try and get something that has a unique look about it.

You succeeded. I'm not so much concerned about the amount of armor that's on it, since the setting that I am deriving already presupposes that personal combat weapons have evolved from slugthrowers to personal directed-energy weapons (fancy name for lasers), and Gauss weapons. With that sort of firepower, this would probably fall into my classification as Security or Marshal armor... designed to soak up a little bit of damage, but not a whole lot. But it isn't as heavy or bulky as Vanguard or Sentinel armor, thus it doesn't impair mobility like the heavier classes do. Even those heavier armor suits don't stop Gauss weapons fully... more like redirect the round away from any vital organs and keep the soldier in the fight with stimpacks, adrenaline and serotonin.

Yeah, weapon advances tend to put armour to shame. Most of the suits I design for this story/world aim for modularity, allowing the armour plates to be removed as needed. Since firearms are still projectile-based, plating has its uses. Not to mention in hand-to-hand combat with other powersuits, cyborgs, and robots.

Definitely along similar thought processes here. Though I will say that in certain cases (primarily armored vehicles) armor does have its uses.
In truth, before firearms, you could say that armor and bladed weaponry often ran in a tight race between one another.
Some folks might question whether body armor is even necessary, but I know for a fact that it's saved thousands of lives overseas, so much so that it's well worth the weight (even if you do have to sweat like a pig to wear it).

Yeah, and in most weaponry-based situations, a little armour is better than nothing.

Wow, really cool. Very nice suit you got there. Sweet gun too. I could see that design work in a movie for advanced future soldiers.

Powered armors are required in my sci-fi universe.

and that's never a bad thing.

The victims of the main protagonist use powered armors.

That's always good, makes for formidable opponents.

The 3D game I'm working on features such opponents, mostly mini-bosses.

nice, man. good luck with that!
