Description

Under the usual Extra Plus Mark II tactical armor system is a muscle suit powered by an isomer battery.

The synthetic muscles are actually pretty powerful, but the isomer cell, the armor's titanium frame and ceramic plating top out at around 90 lbs, plus another 30 lbs for a regular loadout (gas mask, flak cape, canteen, ammo, rations, spade etc.). Subsequently, most of the energy added just goes to supporting the sheer weight of the external gear, allowing pretty normal movement, but with no exceptional gain in power.

While wearing EX2+ MkII's external armor increases survival ratings exponentially from it's extremely capable protection, sometimes soldiers on special assignments just use the muscle suit as is - giving them the abilities far beyond that of any 'normal' human.

Kinda like Spriggan.... which obviously has a lot of influence with me. So this is sort of a homage, since Riko's got the Orihalicon Knife that Yu uses in the manga XD

Old-ish drawing I decided to flesh out and color, since I'm having extreme difficulty coming up with anything new these days.

I like your style with the sketchings.

Your style reminds me of the time when everything was about Shogo. And that really brings tears to my eyes softly.

It's hard to find style like this nowadays so I'm definitely going to watch you - if you won't mind I'll also see if I can learn something from these drawings and copy a technique or two.
