Uhh, with waist like that , i think he can't turn around very well

Are you aiming for a sort of "official" style, like Katoki's & Bee-Craft's Master Grade art? If so, I think it's getting close.

heh,heh

Oh! I've explained this so many times in the past that I forgot. The armour around the waist is segmented but is covered by this flexible material (similar to rubber and Kevlar) so that it's armour is not compromised and still has exceptional flexibility.

Sorry i miss the previous explanation

No problem.

Always good to simplify your work when you plan to draw a thing multiple times from many angles.

I noticed your comment about flexible materials around the midsection. I figured that was what it was but I want to know what you think about a few of my ideas concerning it.

It's a flexible material that won't tear easily, but I imagine it will still be vulnerable. So I'm thinking every now and then, if it comes down to a blade fight, someone would go for the delicate midsection, just as you might go for a gut shot.

I'm pretty much saying I want to have him take a gut shot that severly limits his mobility (a lot of movement relies on the muscles in the middle). Perhaps even going so far as him leaning back and the midsection tearing open completely (eviseration) and causing him to tumble backwards with no way to continue the fight.

Essentially an opportunity to up the tension and stress the importance of his team mates, since they would have to save him.

"...I'm thinking every now and then, if it comes down to a blade fight, someone would go for the delicate midsection, just as you might go for a gut shot."

Of course the material is vulnerable to blades. But it makes up for that in that it is invulnerable to arms fire (mecha scale) and kinetic impacts (punches).

The thing I wanted to stress in MWG, even though Tomo and many other characters are exceptionally talented, there is still isn't a very large skill curve. Which means even minor skirmishes will be drawn out and may even hinge on the pilots awareness of his surroundings and good luck.

As far as the evisceration... later I wanted an Epic battle between the Phoenix and the Dragon where Tomo (non-literally) gets K.O.'d by getting cut in half across the midsection.

Then we are agreed. All battles will be epic fights to the death.
