I knew I wanted to make Phillip Eens’ armor some type of high tech design but was not too sure where to go with it without it looking too cliche. There are a variety of armors in the Ratchet & Clank series, but one of the most memorable ones to me was from the primary one in Ratchet: Deadlocked.
I submitted the 1st image to Mr. Scars as a reference to build upon. To make it more unique I requested that striations based on the muscular system be added to its design and encouraged him to add his own twist onto it. Along with being the best artist I have had the pleasure to work with so far he tends to add his own little details to the pages and its characters, which not only enhances the designs but add more atmosphere and personality. I am glad he decided to keep the ears on the helmet, I find it a nice touch.
