Description
Finally I get done with the shading. This pretty much marks the completion of this piece. That's quite something since I originally uploaded the first version of this back in March of 09 and had gotten around to adjusting proportions and adding the base colors by September.

Why the long wait? Well I had intended to finish the shading and upload it along with the image of it's pilot Jess Stalven [link] but never got around to finishing that piece. Hell it still isn't done. The only reason I really got this out of WIP hell is because I worked on it while listening through the backlog of Gundamn!

You might notice that compared to the other images of the Azure 10 this one has been horizontally flipped. why you ask? because Jess is left handed as such the mecha follows suite. I had always intended to flip it after I drew it and realized the error but only got around to it rather recently.

At some point I still intend to finish the Jess image and using it, this and my development image of the TX-20 and Azure 10 put together some sort of wallpaper. Anyway on to the Mecha description right?

The Azure 10, originally a reserve mecha on the Azure Dawn, was a basic TX-20. After crashing on the planet Andrus and loosing among other things Jess' original mecha she transferred to and modified this unit.

The majority of the modifications where to the lower body with the thighs drastically being enlarged to fit components form the the TX-20's heavy weight relative the TX-30. A set of mini-missile launchers where incorporated into the shins while the feet where swapped out for those of a TR-70 and a minor thruster was attached to the ankle's armor rigging.

the torso underwent a similar amount of modifications with the generator and radiator replaced with larger more powerful versions while the torso was expanded out forward and additional armor was placed atop it. the mecha's boosters where mounted on the back of the hips to free up the upper back for future add-on packages.

Elsewhere the head found it self playing host to a set of vulcans. On the forearms gained a pair of arm-guards which incorporated a set of high powered grappling lines. on top of all this the mecha attached an standard issue shield and armed itself with an accuratized variant of the Maverick assault rifle.
