I built this full body mech pilot armor set back in 2021 as a matching piece for one of my futuristic helmets.
The goal was to create something that looked heavy, industrial and durable, while still being wearable for a full day. A big part of the challenge was finding the right balance between metal elements and long term comfort.
The set includes magnesium alloy armor plates, integrated hydration, wiring and quick release style details to push the whole mech pilot aesthetic further.
The customer wanted the petrol blue finish to stay relatively clean, so instead of heavy damage I kept the weathering more subtle, with scratches and signs of use.
