Asteroid Mining Suit

[teh fonx]

A mining suit concept i did for a project im working on called "What if Meteors Prevail". The over all theme is supposed to be that of 40's and 50's sci-fi. All C&C welcome.

p.s. I know that the arms and legs are a bit too long, also its not a monkey inside, as i seem to be gettin alot of such comments on other msg boards.

The suit just doesn't look right, like a human wouldn't fit.

Grab a reference pic or manikin or mirror and get a basic standing pose. Draw this and then 'place' the suit on top of the pose. This will help you make the suit look much more practical and realistic.

Good basic retro design, but the linework is letting it down.

Just keep going - trace the images and do a couple more versions.

i know this isn't a huge improvement on the line work, i need to find my good pencil for that, but i think the over all proportions are going alot better now.

i have a soft spot for protective suits (i enjoy drawing them because it helps to hide my poor anatomy skills)

I think this design would benefit from being drawn from other angles, that would force you to complete the design of the suit. at the moment it looks like the legs and arms come out of the front of the suit, like old sci-fi space suits.

i'd reccoment a side and 3/4 view.

cheers

actually im glad you said that, because this suit is designed for a game with a heavy 40's and 50's sci-fi influence, so it is supposed to look a bit old and what not.

My suggestion is to draw the figure inside the suit first, and then draw the suit around it.

I guarantee you will see some progress.

looks like that robot off of Lost in space, tailor it more to the anatomy of a human.
