Dominance War II - Mansir
polycounter lvl 18
"No lieutenant, your men are already dead."
Some sketches of stoof. (Actually these were done in reverse order) started in love with a mask idea that included the night ops, low light UV, rotisserie chicken microwave goggle doo-hickies.. then tried to make a rotating lense half face.
Then I made a leather-esque enviromental camo armor (things from the future have long names, okay?)
Then plopped out this thing tonight:
I might do another version tomorrow, or start from scratch... ya never know
One more for tonight:

i had the flash of an idea that you might even go with a really strange and overt touch with the leather-coat woman, and go all out retro funky with her specs by actually giving her a pair of what for all the world appear to be an eye doctor's examination set... you know what i'm talking about. the big white things with the chin rest and the crazy magnifications everywhere. it's one of those ideas that sounds cool but never seems to work when you sketch it, but i'd at least give you the option of hearing my silly ideas
i like what's going on in all the sketches, particularly the latest. it's right at the perfect balance of speed and legibility of line--of which, yours seems to have made tremendous strides. please keep us updated with more sketches!

Bobo! More sketchie, less talkie! I can't wait to see what you come up with.
Gauss:
you want me to mount an eye doctor machine on her head? Oh good lord!
I think I'll try and definitely put some apparatus on her to change lenses without having to fidget with her hands but that thing is way too clunky looking. Need to make it sleeker, but I do like the multiple lense idea. Plus I think I'll ditch the sniper rifle and make some EMP pulse grenade launching pickle jar opener gun.
I think I'm going to go and press her even further and try and style-ize her more. A longer hood, plus maybe try some different face covering. Looking at the second guy, he looks too fantasy like, plus those throwing knives are just silly against the big armored mech's I envision on the other team.
*Oh crap! forgot...
/quick snap to attention, and firm salute. Yes Sir! Mr. Concept General Gauss, Sir!
(distant memory of last year's contest where Gauss made me eat a jelly donut and had my squad unit do dozens of push ups)
maybe some hair would be nice
I tried Gauss's idea with the eye headpiece.. I dunno.. my heart just wasn't into it.. other then this piece, the only other image i could conjure up was a fantasically huge headpiece with it on..
Then I cranked out this body piece:
To hopefully go with this character:
I like this chick a lot. I'm going to slink-ify her some more and make her more weasel like and sinewy. Plus I'll try and de bulkify the armor a little bit and add some detail. Plus that gun is supposed to be a combo sniper/EMP launcher weapon.. I might incorporate something that folds out to stabilize it while sniping.
Davision3D: Yeah, I'm a sucker for bald headed future chicks, but I did put some strands on the noggin.
katzeimsack: Thanks!
Rick: Yeah. I get that a lot. Usually from Senior Citizen, but hey!
richkid: I'll definitely check out that flick. Thanks!
