Mecha Wasp Girl by grointape on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Ok some final revision lead to this, no jetpack. Some lessons learnt, it's hard to change a paper drawings to a digital one but I did it, it was very tedious cleaning up the pencil marks. I'm quite happy about the silhouette but the shininess needs work, especially on the legs. I wonder if I should make another character or expand the "lore" of this one.

some lore and tidbits I thought up for the character and suit

1. WASP, Weaponised-Assult-Spear-Penetration. system

2. Emotional receptors of the wasp-girls, used to display emotion as well as receive information based on its surroundings, sensitive to the touch like most receptors. These are used to control the Stinger

3. Hexahelm, a helmet developed for aerial manoeuvrability and visibility for the user, the hexagonal face-shield can retract into the base of the helmet and hold holographic displace of information similar to the heads-up display in early 20XX fighter jets.

4. Hexa-spear-rifle early type, an early version of the hexa-spear-rifle, powered of 2 yellow-hexagonal crystal's, it features two very good penetration spear rounds that can be used to reel back targets after hitting (similar to a harpoon). The spear can also be lodge in terrain and be used to reel the user in it's direction quickly if required, though the spear maybe hard to dislodge after.
Whist the new variant of hexa-spear-rifle has been developed, most soldier prefer to continue using the older-version due to its lightweight and flexibility of use, even if it cannot penetrate yellowplating.

5. Jet thorax, the energy storage and propulsion system of the WASP, with slots to accommodate the personnel's wings for a comfortable fit. excess heat generated is expelled out of the three lines at the back of the system while air is drawn through the top and bottom.

6. Nanotech lining, common battle attire of wasp-girls, can stretch providing a comfortable fit but is tight to reduce drag when in flight.

7. I seemed to have miscounted

8. lower torso, the main weapon system of the wasp, the abdomen segment can extend from the lower torso. the lower torso houses the ratchet hydraulics to extend the abdomen in a variety of direction, however they are weak to attack due to their thin design. the lower torso attached to the personnel using a clip system that hold and distributes the weight evenly across the body.

9. Yellowplating, common armour plates for wasp people, normally used on the wrist and lower legs. Due to its high rigidity and hardness, the lightweight yellowplating is a highly adopted and well accepted armour type, capable of deflecting most penetration ammunition.

10. the abdomen segment of the Stinger system. normally holds a singer dagger within and can extend on command, the dagger can be rotated 360 degrees on its end to ensure a edge hit on target. In case of a dagger snapping, the abdomen segment can fabricate a new one if given resources and time.

11. The dagger segment of the Stinger system, commonly referred to as the dragon's thorn, the vibrating dagger spans the length of fully stretched arm and can be deployed in a slashing and stabbing motion. The weapon is very deadly when used on soft-shelled targets, though it is very ineffective against armoured opponents, the thin dagger has a tendency to become lodged and snapped off when attacking thick armour, leaving the user without their main weapon. Never the less, a very potent weapon when combined with the agility of the jet thorax.
(the weakness mimics how a bee's stinger can only be used once after which they get lodged in their target.)

12. The pilot of the WASP suit, Maple, she is an ace pilot with great body coordination and is highly skilled at adapting to the environment and making it work to her advantage. Graduating at the top of her academy, she still holds onto her drive to become the best. Though her fierce personality and logical nature make her a bit unsociable, she is weak to sudden and unexpected compliments in which she reveals her rather rare emotions and cute reactions.
