GEAR and Crafting: Clothing, Armor, and doohickeys...

1st pic: that gun looks bigger than needed.
2nd pic: nice to see that less armor is also more in cyberpunk when it comes to ladies
5th pic: looks almost like a regular snowboarder
Last pic: immediately thought Kai Leng from Mass Effect

love the first image, pretty damn good stuff.... nice metal gear, or possibly extremely light power armor/hardsuit
Second image kinda sucks...
the third pic is much better, works as a merc, combat zone girl, or even a pretty well to do nomad.
Not really sure what to make of the 4rth pic, it looks cool, but the sword or whatever looks wonky, and the "armor" over the left arm looks all kinda of unwieldy and cumbersome without providing any clear benefit, but makes kind of a neat combat zone dweller or nomad, needs some touch up to hide the fact that its a wooden doll.
Baggy pants girl is cool, civie attire for cold weather I guess.
The faces are ok, the first and last being the best while the other 2 just like like pretty poor photoshop jobs. Had skullface guy for a while, always wished we got a complete character out of him, as opposed to just the face.
Blue pads guy.... well the gear looks kind of cool, but he obviously isn;t a pro, as that stuff would make him easier to spot than a 90's gi-joe.
Cyberninja is fucking awesome...

Well, follow up on the Cyber Samurai:

*nods*

Obviously styled on Japanese sode (pauldrons / shoulder armor,) taken to an extreme.

I could see it moving well if it were cyber assisted; if it were grafted onto bundles of synthetic (read: inorganic) muscle, same as used in cyberlimbs.

The powered sword would make more sense, if the cords weren't laid in such a way that it *opposed* the draw. If that character were to draw the weapon, they'd tangle themselves up.

It was more for the 'style' and the look of that shoulder peice than its actual practicality.

Oh, I think it could be VERY practical, 'specially if those are hard armor plates.

(Practical, as long as you don't have to get anything off the shelf with your left hand, that is. =p )

A full on shoulder charge powered by cyberlegs would make quite a mess...

I haven't read every page of this topic, but in case it wasn't mentioned Ianus Games had supplements for CP2020 that went pretty heavily into drugs, making a very grim "slow poison" form of Black Lace, among other things. The designer drugs system they had was pretty good, and made drug abuse a serious thing. IIRC, it was either in Grimm's Cybertales or Dark Metropolis.

sounds interesting

I never saw Matrix....so what do you mean? Can you explain?

I suggest you watch first movie.. I'm sure you are going to love the trilogy. Especially the first movie. It is one of the best movies ever made.

Also, if you haven't already, also watch The Lord of the Rings Extended Edition!!! Original movies are good, extended versions are even better.

Yeah, next thing he will say that he never saw Star Wars original trilogy... It is a shame i say!

actually, my girlfriend has never seen a single Star Wars film. Been with her 10 years and I can't get her to watch any of them.

Thats because she thinks she wouldn't enjoy them. Let me guess, she brands them as being childish right? Or she just doesn't watch them because they are sci-fi and she think only immature people watch sci-fi. Or maybe she think Star Wars movies are stupid because some of her friends think so.. (Friends who never ever seen the movie.) I think i have listed why almost every girl doesn't want to watch Star Wars. Its not her fault, it is the society. I fully understand your pain.

She's a Trekky...

One of my good friends is a Trekky who thinks Star Wars is stupid and childish... He never watched them either. It is like a faction thing. (It is also one my possible listed reasons)

How about critical consideration of the poor writing and direction? Is that on your list too?
I gave up on it during the prequels.

Please... don't.... remind me... the.... prequels... Arrrgh! I get an headache just by thinking about them... If i hear someone say "oops" or "meesa" one more time, i'm just gonna snap their necks. Writing and character development was to horribly wrong, i can't even begin to tell. So the prequels shouldn't be even called Star Wars, they should be called either "Star brats in space" or "Georgy loves money".

So, to answer your question, yes, that is in my list for the prequels.. But not for the originals.

 

[Sardukhar]

Ooops!

Meesa!

..I love you, Wars. I love you and want to free you. Happiness is a prison and I want to free you from your prison. Forever.

Star Wars was never on the same level as Star Trek. Yes, I said it. StarWars was in a land far away where we can forget about real life issues. Star Trek shoved those issues right in our face and included a dose of sexy blue aliens.
