Yes it was intentional, I was going for a reverse Oscar the Grouch look!
J/K Truth be told, the 3d model that was used had to be scaled to my size. Marcus being somewhere in the 13ft tall range would have elongated the torso a smidge over my 6ft stature, but when scaled to an average persons size, there was some slight compression in order to keep it big enough to fit around me. You will notice with the Nightmare Armor Studios versions that they were able to avoid this by deviating further from the original game design. While the Nightmare armor is unquestionably cooler and packed with more awesomeness than mine will ever be, they had far greater resources available to them and MUCH more margin for error. I also decided to keep some of the extra bulk to keep me from looking way to small to be a Gear, in some of the stills it looks slightly out of proportion, but in order to keep as much range of motion possible it was necessary to go a little smaller with some of the other parts, when you see it in motion tho most of that goes away. Ultimately I would like to build up the belt to help transition this better, but I had 30 days and live in Canada where October is too cold to Bondo and resin outside so I had to commit to the pieces before finishing the previous ones in order to move the project inside ASAP.
On another note: Thanks again to everyone who has commented!
