GUESS WHO JUST BOUGHT LIGHT UP CAT EAR HEADPHONES

[xinnatrin]

My last five years of headphones (Number one had one earmuff rip off and number two just didn't turn on one day. RIP in peaces. Only the strong survive here).

Also there is just something wonderfully unhinged about putting pink catears on professional mixing headphones. I highly recommend it :3

suffice it to say I only like the HD 280 pro of these 3

Of all the headphones I’ve sampled, borrowed and owned,

These 3 have become my favorites

Crew attire cosplay?

Lately I've been thinking a lot about "what would separate mecha crew equipment from that of a tank crew, or a fighter crew": A lot of military surplus stuff is already really close to what we're going for, and I realized "Motorcycle boots look a lot more like mech pilot stuff than military boots do", which got me thinking what other odd equivalences exist.

The one which really surprised me was how famous mecha live action SF Gunhed used a wetsuit as a stand-in for "generic scifi bodysuit", and that it worked weirdly well, actually?

"Why not latex?"

Latex rips too easily in contact with straps and hard elements, overheats far, far too easily despite having the looks. Thin neoprene works. really well.

So I kept exploring.

One thing I did seriously debate is other than rappelling equipment, would a pilot need something like a rigid knee-brace for hard landings to protect the ACL when they disembark from the robot which is common with high impact parachute equipment.

Some varieties also include counter-weighted springs which make it harder for you to close your knee, but make lifting heavy things on your back and climb much much easier during the ascent phase.

That led me towards Deck Crew helmets, which meet the hood requirement, and of all things, chin wraps which are really unobstructive and you can eat and drink while wearing one pretty comfortably (I say this as someone currently stuck wearing one)

So what we're looking at here is the HGU-24 and HGU-25, often worn by deck crews because it gets along just fine with the famous MCU-2/P AKA "Millenium" mask famous with drone communities as they're designed to be worn together.

Its literally the exact same mask with a minor paint adjustment.

"What's the difference between a drone and a pilot?" "One wears AXENT and latex, the other wears HGU-25 and neoprene." "Anything else?" "Drones have less sex and do as they're told"

Its got the bash-plates you want for an ejector-seat, but it also has the padded foam you want for an impact element, and if it latches properly and the jaw mechanism is well made enough, you could probably include a hans mechanism attached to the jacket which locks into a socket in the pilot's seat to stop a pilot from breaking their neck in a collision.

What do you guys think?

Any suggestions? What I'm really curious about is what you think pilots would remove, customize or alter for practical or decorative purposes.

This is basically the result of roughly a year of casual research into pilot attire, outfits and looks.

The helm and the hood seem to be where the most manual cosplay stitching and 3D printing work is likely going to be required, with the wrap and helmhood.

Addendum:

I've not gone into waste management systems (UCL/FCL human-factors engineering stuff with internal and external recovery systems), since I'm looking at this mainly as an attainable costume or ensemble.

Edit:

I am learning some of you use aquatic mecha and find this unsatisfactory.

And you won't shut up about how the coolant mass flow rate lets you do really wild shit with your weapons my "land-loving" platform even can't dream of

While I am jealous by your sheer tonnage and the output of your reactors, I've got you covered.

Behold: Immersion suits.

They also make surprisingly good sleeping bags, even if you're on water.

They're literally designed to keep you alive if you're forced to abandon an oil platform, and are known to include a radio and even rations and a water filter.

Portfolio Development - Extended project of Assignment 6

This is the extended project of assignment 6 and the concept art above is the final result. Unlike the character design in assignment 6, which depicts a cruel and ferocious soldier, I decided to incorporate some easy-going and nostalgic elements to create a new ‘skin’ for my character, MOMO. In this project, the theme of his new look was inspired by arcade games, racecar elements and trends from the 90s. 

Instead of a pair of ferrous demonic horns, I gave him a pair of cute cat ears this time, which enhances his ability to sense the surrounding environment during combat.

Fig.1 Axent Wear Car Ear Headphones

The cat ears design was inspired by the Axent wear cat ear headphone, created by my favourite artist, Yumei. This product was released 10 years ago, which makes it very nostalgic, yet, I still find this design to be stylish even today. The headphones feature a headband with cat ears, and the center of each ear resembles stereo speakers, which I personally think makes the design very innovative. 

Fig.2 Ninja H2R

His armour structure features intricate triangular designs, which was inspired by the inner frame of my favourite motorcycle, the H2R. Additionally, his auxiliary mechanical spine is used to enhance his overall strength and mobility. The design shape and colours are inspired by the racetrack. Drawing inspiration from 90s roller skating, I also gave him a pair of rollers in his shoes to indicate his fast-paced and agile combat style. When I was young, I always watched the Formula 1 championship with my father, and I thought the F1 champions’ jacket designs were extremely cool. So I tried to design a race jacket for him using a vibrant colour. 

Fig.3 Jubeat

One of my nostalgic memories is the arcade games center in my place. It was my favourite spot or rendezvous point with my friends during high school. I recalled that I had to stick with the Jubeat arcade machine for an hour whenever I entered the game center. Jubeat is a music rhythm arcade game, the machine has a very modern shape and stylish neon colours, which will change according to the music rhythm. The colour palette of my character is heavily inspired by the Jubeat machine. I used black as the primary colour with two very bright and saturated contrasting colours as the accents. The accent colours are used to highlight the features of his armour design to make him stand out, while the primary colour serves as a purpose of negative space, balancing the bright colours. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the final result, and I enjoyed the process of creating a new outfit for my old character. The new outfit surprisingly gives him some new characteristics, naughty, cute and playful, contrasting with the deadly, merciless and violent traits of the old design.

I broke my axent wear cat headphones... How am I meant to be the village furry without them...

[villainessbian]

Preach it! I have the axent wear ones, you know, the meme ones that have speakers shaped like light-up pseudo-boomboxes in the cat ears? The sound is probably not as good as the supra high end (at least price wise) kraken stuff but it's just, it's cyberkitty. I'm cyberkitty!!

You can trust me with cat ear headphones, I am sexually normal about accessories

[adderallanomaly]

Am I a cute gamer girl yet? 🤣

[mothsan-art-moved]

This is my OC Lexa. The new design (above) and the first, oldest design (below). She’s super cool and a bit of a tomboy. I’m not sure what to do with her yet though. I’ll see what kind of story I’ll design for her. For now, she’s just “a cool idea”.
