Character Art Design Ideas

[Helwyr]

After watching the interview with Mat Broome I was thinking of what visuals that I would buy. Aside from camo I haven't bought any character/vehicle visual changes as I really don't like the ones out thus far. Looks like some better options are on the way, but why not make a thread for more suggestions... Think of the thread as a brainstorm of art ideas, hopefully give the art guys some ideas they may not of thought of, or at least give them more ideas on what we want.


As a Vanu Infiltrator player, I would like to see something alien, predatory, and dark cultish. Now it could be that one of the armor sets in development already fits into what I have in mind, but if not here's 3 pictures that I'd love to see blended conceptually by the art team into some Vanu Armor sets

Look forward to seeing some other ideas, but don't get carried away with a gazillion images, I think 3 is a good number to limit yourself to per concept.

I'd love to see something like this, though not attached to the chest of course and made of scifi materials.

I'd love to have something like that as a proxy mine. That moves. And latches itself to the enemy.

How about something like this for the NC? :D xD

I think some people are taking the images too literally. The images I posted were more of inspiration of form. The Spider and Mantis demonstrate a sleek organic look that is also decidedly alien and predatory in appearance. The mask is actually a demonstration of that applied into humanoid armor with the addition of both futurist gadgets (3dot laser sight) and cultish (runic writing) elements.

I'm sure the art guys will get what I'm looking for in terms of appearance from those images, if not the potato heads like Pella who's probably quite happy with hockey mask armor.

Please?

P.S. I like the mantis stuff, cool!

[RSphil]

in an interview i think last week they have said there will be more stuff coming like more combat orientated helmets and body armor ect. will be cool to see what they have in mind. i think he even mentioned webbing and maybe something like a ghillie suit for infiltrators

I would actually prefer if they would take some inspiration from that. Like.. their own lore.
