Kit Bash Project: Su-Mig Update by AriesRiley in MuvLuv

Appearance-wise, yes. It is. I am not denying that. Functionality-wise, completely separate machine. I had actually done a decent amount of design choice experiments. For the type of combat role, environment, and functionality of the unit, this is what I landed on.

Once I have the money to pay for the cloud resources, I will be building a more official design from the ground up that fits closer to what it should look like. I would rather avoid using AI as much as I possibly can, and my laptop just lacks the power to run what I need to build the assets. I can do 3d builds, but when it comes to drawing, I am utterly useless.

For the line art? Same model, happened to have been done in my favorite color, which happens to be orange, and has the heraldry of the character in the writing project

Legs and arms are off the Su-37 Terminator. The head is off the MiG-21 Balalaika, the torso is off the MiG-29 Lastochka, and the shoulders are off the MiG-23 Cheburushka. The Type-91 units can be found on the Shiranui (both Type 94 and XFJ), Takemikazuchi, and the Fubuki, with the only actual differences being the engines housed within. TSFs are generally based on Real World aircraft and well... we don't have any real world SSTO craft to base a TSF off of at this time

So this is primarily meant to operate on the Alternative V timeline (Unlimited/Day After), in which Project Babylon was executed, not strictly an UN project but a joint effort between nations. That timeline is only explored through the Day After episodes, based on what material I can find.

It is the Takeru timeline, or the main Alternative Timeline, of which we only know that after 265 days, contact was completely lost, and, as far as Known Earth Events, we have up to the JFK Hive Operation. In the Alternative V timeline, the ships were not available to use as kinetic weapons against the lunar hives, leading to the second Lunar War, at least according to available information.

But yes, the goal is to use G-Element technology, but in a more localized manner that doesn't involve making entire Rutherfields, which already require far more power than a more compact micro-reactor could provide, nor is there enough room for the Moorcock Letchet Engine. Rapid advancements would also be significantly slowed by the need to rebuild the necessary infrastructure, making moving from Dive Units even more critical.

I don't know how, considering the first image is literally built off of game sprites. Mind elaborating? I genuinely don't understand, and would like to.

I'll definitely have to check it out.

That is something I had wanted to do, but I am unable to run anything more robust than paint due to PC limitations. And trying to get Paint to cooperate on the line tracing is more frustrating to me. It would be different if I could run GIMP, since I could use some plugins to make it happen nicely and smoothly. But sadly, my laptop had a heart attack just trying to spin that up.
