Thanks for the shout-out!





Your rendition of the SPI is looking great as is to be expected. I especially like the way the overlapping padding sections bring thickness and volume to the bodysuit. This also brings up something I've gotten wrong in my past depictions of the suit -- I've always depicted the little gizmos on the sides of the waist as ammo pouches (originally based on more or less low-resolution references), but on closer inspection of the high-res version of the original concept those really are some kind of cell-type thingies (perhaps batteries?). I've also never been able to fully decide if the plates hanging on the sides of the hips should interlock with the thigh plating (as in your concept) or if they should rest on top of the thigh armor. The former probably makes more sense and is more visually pleasing.



Also, I love the gauntlet design from the GoO cover, but I've often had trouble trying to portray it in more dynamic poses. It seems like it would be restricting movement a lot, unless the wrist is able to turn independently of the forearm (which appears to be possible in your design where there seems to be a separation between the forearm and gauntlet, if I'm interpreting your design correctly).
