    NEO JAPAN 2202 - Royales

    "Meet the Roiyaru keisatsu, also known as the Royales. The Royales are the royal police drones around the castles, this particular type are stationed at the outer section of the castle, mainly guarding the airspace from frequent drone attacks by local terrorists. They still belong to the police force but has more authority than a usual police, they often have the authority to execute suspects without questioning. "
    Been awhile since i did something personal, here's a photobash and paint! Tons of fun to work with. Anyway, will give out more information once more visuals are out :D (Big Grin)

    these drones are actually all connected to beacons/pylons all around the area, will paint another one showing how it works!
    btw i have a cghub account now! Will update together with DA. 
    Here's the piece:cghub.com/images/view/742667/

    That's because in the future all robots are based on PETMAN, and thus serve the dual purposes of being humanoid killing machines and wearing clothing "to simulate how a soldier stresses protective clothing under realistic conditions."

    The clothing of the future is very thoroughly tested.

    Pure speculation, but given the amount of exposed machinery (I hope ribbon cables in 2202 are pretty durable) on the head and arms, some extra protection wouldn't be unreasonable.

    Ironically, a lot of this stuff would be considered old-school now, much less in 188 years - non-integrated kneepads and drop-leg holsters dragging down a web belt, for example. (The rifle is also based on an Accuracy International AW-pattern rifle, largely unmodified from the thumbhole grip back, but the shape of the receiver and distinctive bolt handle are also visible.)
