To those who are unfamiliar with my stuff, I normally draw anime girls with big boobs. (technically this isn't an exception)
This took quite a bit of time, I'm quite happy with how it came out.
There are minor modifications to the version I gave to Chaotica.
If you're wondering who this is, I just decided to do a "Mecha-Girl" version of Bytes's "Minion bots" which is called Epsellis.
A little backstory------------------------------------------------------- These things were the epitome of failure. Even though they had 5 times the development budget, they still lost the bid for mass production against a cheaper, faster and more powerful model. The developers went bankrupt and some complained that the tests were rigged and that the bias was political.
Epsellis's concept was collective intelligence. These units shared everything from target locks, weather conditions to cross referencing spare parts to determine Stance and battle positions (if they're low on right shoulders they will face the enemy with their left). Their reliance on electronics made them quite electrically vulnerable. Thus most of the budget went into Sensors, superior framework, making the components EMP-proof and data encryption.
This resulted in a design that had lower numbers across the board (Except Censors), and it doesn't help that the final test was a 1 on 1 duel. something it was not designed to do. Thus they became forgotten failures.
"Bytes" Discovered the remaining prototype and did some modifications of her own, such as writing a new 2-part AI (nicknamed "Soul" and "Dream") and re-configuring the load-out to suit her unorthodox tactics.
Fate seemed to care enough to give them a chance for redemption. A chance to prove that they werent complete failures. They were coincidentally pitted against their former rivals.
Your back story here is pretty interesting. Especially concerning the advanced cross referencing group tactics, that is a wonderful idea that many soldiers currently strive for.
Oh hey, very nice. You kept the definition of the edges that mech stuff needs, even with the blown out whites. Plus I'm diggin' the backstory. Very awesome everything.
I really love the way you drawn this.. and the backstory.. it's really amazing!!! you can make your own manga series with this..
