Inspired by my own universe, Orions Gauntlet

something for it just doesnt look right, and im not sure what i want to change

Here is a designed that helped inspire it.
I was wondering if anyone could make something like this so i may use it as a fighter in my shiplist.
the only thing i ask is that it had wings, as in my previous image.
that and no cannon in the chest, it looks ugly

I think the head lacks some detail. It looks a bit too boxy right now. Perhaps some Gundam style spikes?

And I would suggest reducing the upper chest area too. In the second pick, the side angle gives the model a "ahem" busty appearance.

Just my thoughts.

Overall, this is neat. AWhen I first saw this model, I thought it looked like that robot from that "Zone of the Enders" game for Playstation 2

Nice mecha you have there. I have to comment it looks a lot more like something from Gundam or Macross, rather than an armored core...

My thoughts:

It needs some kind of head ornamentation. Whether Gundam-esque Vs or a simple head-fin.

It could use a reduction on the chest-bays, unless this is supposed to be a femine mecha.

It could use a couple of external weapons, the exact weapons would be based off the armaments of the unit. Arm-mount cannons or hand-guns for energy weapons, a shoulder-mounted weapons box for drones or projectile-based armament (photon / hellbore)

I'd also like to see the textures applied, it's quite possible you're shooting for a fully-internal weapons mount and it'll look complete when the textures are applied.

Okay, im starting over and this time im gonna follow the pictures of the AC a little more closely.

As far as weaponry goes im gonna go external, like with Armored Core, i just wanted to get the AC done first before i add weapons.
Textures, im hoping will follow after this

UPDATE!

Yes i did use the Wings and Legs from the first one, but the rest is all new
And yes the other wing will be included in the final model
As per requests i did add head details, an antenna on one side.

Now keep in mind, this is the Fast Varient (hence the extra boosters in the wings)
also planned versions are the Normal, the Heavy, a EW version with SWACS(?), and a Missile version.
Any other ideas are welcome...please....

Changed some proportions, and added the second wing

Is that a mech from AC2, AC2:AA, or AC3? I havent touched those games in more than six months...

Fury_of_a_Seraph · « **Reply #8 on:** January 21, 2004, 05:12:32 pm »

The figure is from AC2 i think
The model is my own creation

big_feef · « **Reply #9 on:** January 22, 2004, 04:01:28 am »

Oh yeah! That's the mech from the cover of AC2:AA... my second overall favourite of the series. Your model's coming along well too. Although I think it looks like a Gundam with those wings; I think that's the way go as it looks cooler that way.

Fury_of_a_Seraph · « **Reply #10 on:** January 22, 2004, 08:07:33 am »

Here are two of the varients i spoke of before, first is the missle varient, second is the EW varient.

Anyone care to try and texture her? shes far out of my league

Kaenyne · « **Reply #11 on:** January 22, 2004, 08:12:27 am »

Hey, much improvement since yesterday!

I like th enew main model much better!

As for the variants, the missle type is cool, but the EW version looks awkward to me.

Fury_of_a_Seraph · « **Reply #12 on:** January 22, 2004, 08:51:13 am »

Thanks Kae.
Im a lot happier with it now.

The EW varient is supposed to look a little akward. It also helps once the mecha takes a better stance, when its standing static like that it looks off-balance

Fury_of_a_Seraph · « **Reply #13 on:** January 25, 2004, 08:53:26 am »

Anyone even want to take a bash at this one?
