Power Armor art is here!

Hey everyone! The wait is finally over! From the very first chapter I've seen people debating over what exactly Emma's power armor actually looked like. We got from something as tame as simple exoskeletons to Fallout's power armor, all the way through to the WH's big bulky marines. I've long established the suit as being a cross between the T-45 power armor and the NCR Ranger helmet from Fallout. I've also made mention of its gunmetal blue appearance and the red tinted lenses, with a single rebreathing tube connecting it to the hermetically sealed air filtration system. 

To summarize what the suit actually consists of, here's a brief text description to get everyone up to speed on what it's actually like in universe. 

However, I know no description would ever match the power of art. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so I guess this counts as those thousand words! 

So without further ado, here it is! As promised here's the artwork I commissioned for the titular power armor from Wearing Power Armor to a Magic School! I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do! It's honestly super on point and very much accurate to what I had envisioned! The artist did an amazing job on this and I cannot thank them and credit their amazing work enough so please check them out! 

I also need to say thank you, to everyone. Thank you to everyone for supporting me on this great adventure, and for bringing my world to life bit by bit. 

Also yes it's blue.

Yup!

Yeah they have that going for them but that was only because the IAS sent the bare minimum of details regarding the student they were planning to send. That's how the guy calling out names at the Grand Hall knew of her name and rank in writing! :D

Oh true God point

Kittora

Actually, they *do* know Emma is a girl. After all, there was the offer to split the rooms per gender.

Fogel

They absolutely don't. They just think it's knight armor after all.

Kittora

Very much so! Her voice is indeed being synthesized to a pretty accurate degree through her vocoder! But yeah, they literally have no clue what she looks or sounds like! In many cases, like with Ilunor, they might even assume she's just a golem of sorts! Just an suit of armor brought to life! To that ends, they won't even get to see what she looks like in the tent! The only way to really see her is if she like live streams herself from her tent to other people, which is something I potentially have planned but I'm still setting up! :D

Jcb112

They don't even know what she *sounds* like. They could be expecting it to be nearly form fitting, it's doubtful they have an equivalent of power armour.

Fogel

I'm working on that! However I'm treading the line carefully when it comes to making hard science decisions on certain aspects of the suit, but it's something I'm trying to work on yeah! Also yes, inertial dampeners are a thing but they're not super advanced just yet, it'll become more pertinent as the series progresses actually! :D

Jcb112

Do you have all the max tolerances of the suit worked out in notes already? Max lifting force, heat resistance, etc? I'm excited to see what the tech is like. I assume that the future tech allows for things like inertial dampeners and such?

Christian White

Yup! Because Emma isn't nearly as large or imposing as the armor haha, the armor adds a good few feet of height as well as mass in general! :D

Jcb112

Especially considering the big clunky armor they were used to seeing

Kittora

Their reaction to a human female will be fun

Kittora

That is correct! There's no way you can actually see what's underneath the helmet (oh my god I'm referencing another story by writing that), as even the lenses are tinted to prevent certain types of mana radiation as well! :D All they see is this, and Emma's just stuck inside of that! :D I hope you like how it looks though!

Jcb112

So they literally have no idea what em looks like that will be a fun surprise
