Yoroinu - Armored Dog Game w/ Otomo artwork

Post by Jet_Jaguar »

I just came across this:

http://yoroinu.com/index.php

I think that this is a computer/video game, but the site doesn't make that very clear. Apparently, Katsuhiro Otomo did some kind of art/character design work for it. The site says something about a presentation at SDCC, so if you're there, you might want to look for it.

That's weird. It looks sort of like a bulldog version of Robocop. I didn't know Otomo designed anything like that.
