Art research - Mass effect

Mass effect series was one of my favorite games i have played. It is science fiction themed with aliens and artificial intelligence. Therefore it is a great game to look into the designs for my project. I really like Mass effect's sleek futuristic designs. The armors look almost wearable and aesthetically they are very tidy. The cuts and lines of the costumes are very streamline and well balanced. Such as the last character sheet, the coat is very much like a blazer, which we have. But it have been reworked and altered to be fitting and part of the bodysuit. The shoulders have been added with armored details, with a simplified collar. All these elements creates a very "space-age" looking suit. Yet it is designed to fit our fashion taste, as it resembles to what we have as a tailored suit. So i should be looking at how i can alter what we consider as good fashion or aesthetically appealing into something different. At the same time familiar.

I am mainly looking for ideas and inspirations for details and how armors patch and pieces together. How armor joined bend with limbs so i can get some idea on how to make the cuts in the drawings. Mass effect had many armor designs, therefore it is a great resource for inspirations. Such as the 3D model sheets shown above. They show how the armor clips onto the body form and how where everything joins up. Where to add plating and how to fit the pieces together.
I noticed that there are very different types of armors that depends on what sort of look i am after. There are heavy armor with very thick and bulky plating. Which is designed to take alot of damage. Then there are medium armors and the last would be light armor which hint more ability to move and agility. All these ideas would be interesting and included into consideration when im designing for the three different factions of The Secret World, as each faction have a different moral that display as certain character about the members of the faction.  This would show through their uniforms, portraying what they represent.
I would be constantly looking back at Mass Effect's designs for ideas and inspirations as the series have a large range of armors and styles for both men and women. I also really like the art style of Mass effect, everything is very stylish and detailed. which fits the concept of the future perfectly.
Additionally, it is always helpful to look at how the professionals render the artworks, which would enable me to think of ways to improve my drawing and style.
