The power of TECHNOLOGY!

Too many people want traditional hand-drawn animation and they don't know how expensive it was. One mistake can ruin hundreds of manhours of work (and up to millions of dollars depending on materials, artists, etc.) with a single misplaced stroke. Then there is the fact that this limits how complex you can make your animation as well! That Big Ben scene in the movie The Great Mouse Detective? That was a hybrid of CGI and hand-drawn animation because getting all the mechanisms for Big Ben before her digital upgrade was de facto impossible without years of development.


(yeah, the scene in question... remind you that this done in the mid-80s with the CGI of the time)

So bemoan the death of hand-drawn animation if you want, the sad truth is that it died because it is too much work for far too little. If CGI is doing its job right, you'll barely see it stick out. It is the CGI that is bad or mandated in that makes itself visible. Hell, you can make CGI look like hand-drawn animation (as 2D CGI is basically hand-drawn with an undo function!) rather easily (quite a few scenes and objects in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex are actually CGI with a hand-drawn texture attached to them).

Used on Earth, Mars, Titan, and Titania primarily.

Looks like a F22 and this had a baby.
Do you mean the YF-23 Black Widow II? This is more of a future-tech F-35 with comparatively stubby wings and gigantic engines.
 
I wonder do you have original comic series Massive released on their homepage then . . .
This is, oddly enough, from a deviantart account.
This character looks like Motoko... but in a skimpier outfit. I mean the original anime movie had the reason that most clothes don't have the ability to work with thermoptics, but this is a bit much on the eyecandy side.

Pictures were to be cool, and that is coolness incarnate.
(besides who needs more clothes when one have subdermal armor, vest add protection to the most vital areas, otherwise you run in powered armor)

Besides, the same Deviant who made yours, also made vehicle cross-section charts.
