Random mecha - Gespenst

CALL GESPENST!

About time I did something from SRW. I like the head, but I made my usual mistake of a) drawing everything without sketching it and b) doing so while zoomed in too much, so... fat Gespenst. The arm is a bit lame too. I could have repaired it easily enough, but really, its not worth rescuing.

I like the design of it, but it seriously sucks ingame... it gets given to your crappy pilots, it's stats are bad anyway, it has rubbish movement, can't fly, and since it's a deathtrap you're not going to give it any good weapons. Even the specialised versions are lame compared to pretty much anything else you have... which is a pity because mass-produced units make a nice change from "everything is the ultimate robot" designs.

Random mecha - Aestivalis

An Aestivalis. Wasn't coming out as I wanted it to, so I just did a quick + dirty colour job and left it. I'm kinda rubbish at mecha heads - much like drawing a human head, if you mess up the positioning or spacing of elements, it ends up with a kind of "inbred" feeling to it. The body's ok, perspective is kinda ok, but neither are what I was originally going for.

Heh, just as I'm typing this, "The Aestivalis March" started playing on my playlist.


I hardly draw any mecha stuff because it takes me so long, so I'm going to spend a while doing some doodle-quality stuff (but more of it).

Touhou - Her Sake Not Even Drop

Always wanted to do a "inexplicably flying anime girl" style pic, so... now I have. Yuugi Hoshiguma, sake balancer extraordinaire. I was concentrating mostly on the pose, so I didn't bother fixing the face and gave up on the hands... I'm fairly happy with the colouring and colour choices though. Just wish I'd remembered to do it bigger, since it loses the subtlety at this size (this is pretty close to the original's resolution).

I keep meaning to do more mecha stuff and other series, but Touhou is so much quicker and convenient to draw since you can just fudge the details...

TFA mosaic comics


Here is something I did for Transformers Mosaic. Created in the IDW forums. Its a fan made comic in TF fandom. One of the things I like about doing these 1 page comics is that it helps get your name out there. Eventually people will recognize your name, if you do enough of these. I know you guys are super talented, so if any of you guys have time, I have some scripts. Send me an msg!

PacYuyuko


Lol procrastination!

Just a random doodle I felt like doing, to get back in the swing of things (yeah right). This kind of lazy shading / lighting isn't bad for the time it takes... I don't like Yuyuko being all blue, since it looks like her hat is just a tight skirt on her head or something, but skin-coloured and hair-coloured both looked weirder. Should have thought about it before I did the lineart...

Technically Yuyuko is a ghost too, but eh, details.

Touhou - Flandre is Love

Just a quickie for WTFR's Flandre Friday. I thought I'd get some perspective practice... its not terrible, but I rushed through it so much that i didn't learn anything from doing it. The skin contrast is a bit off too. I still kinda like it though, but it needs some finishing that I can't be bothered with.
