Description
IMPORTANT! I need your input!It's like Randommode, you better finish off that project before blah blah blah. Well TOO BAD! I took time off to redesign Big Bad for you guys!
As I said no matter HOW busy I get I am never too busy for YOU. I don't want to be one of those people who call Hiatus god knows I should have but, NOPE! So Let me know if you like this new version of Locke's mech down below! I wanted to make something small but agile, something they could take with them on missions but not get in the way. Personally I think this is the one but I want to know what you all think. It's sort of holding up the next pages because he is on a lot of them. Yes finally Locke and Zhin and Riona get their time to shine too, along with the return of Pokey
Side note here: I am thinking of NIXing (lol inside joke the villains in his comic are the Nix) the backstory for Random for a bit and continuing the next part with Madeline. I didn't want to do this, but I think I should for the sake of you guys- also let me know how you feel about that.

You're welcome of course.
I know that its like to keep re-designing stuff XD you always wanna keep the essence and the function, of the original, intact, don't you!?

I like the proportions of it. It certainly has some presence.

Do you feel I could do things to improve it?

It is a vast improvement over the first round, which looked like a Gundam SD. The proportions are much better, and the style fits your series. It's hard to know how to improve it more without knowing its weapons and fighting design, though it seems the fighting focus is hand-to-hand so far.
The engineer in me likes to design and style around weapons, it makes it look more complete. Like if it uses blades, have blades and razors throughout it, and multiple blades to pull, if it looses one. If it uses canons, have larger and smaller ones throughout - heck, even an knee joint can hide a canon.
Gundams are a good example (even, dare I say it, Gundam Wing)- they based the mech around the weapon, and stylized it regarding the fighting style.

That sounds like a really good idea thank you Struphic!!!
lol I liked Gundam Wing, my problem with Gundam is it gets so melodramatic it becomes funny. SOMETIMES it is okay like Wing, or the original, but other times, it's like the most emo thing ever created (the newest one has someone cutting off body parts and then he's like rrrrrrrrrrrr with robo parts in his Zaku for example) and while I am sure it thinks it's being serious; teenage characters in giant robots constantly complaining has become it's own parody
If you know your comic book history, Gundam is the Japanese version of Watchmen, it was a deconstruction of the genre, of giant robots and hot blooded heroes, it was never meant to quite go that far, and now it's so dark it's comical. When it comes down to it, we are trying to entertain people, if someone wants to write a serious story about the horrors of war, a kid in a giant robot is not..... the best place to start, but I digress. XD This is also just my opinion

Yeah, I remember when I first saw Wing on Cartoon Network. It was awesome... and then it got weird, and I couldn't take it seriously anymore. After that I got educated with better Gundam series. But I never knew that about the Gundam/Watchmen thing - very interesting man!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL Then you find out.... wait Wing was the LEAST WEIRD?! WHAT?!!! lol
The thing is the original series was pretty great, and people don't want to let go
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, Wing got very weird. I liked several of other series - 08th MS, SEED. The original was great too.

I think this is a pretty sweet design! Its a lot easier to visualize this monster in action as opposed to the first one. Now I'm really looking forward to future pages.

Okay that makes me really happy to hear!!

I like the proportions on this version better but i like some of the tehnical details on the old design as well "like the tron ears!

Hmmmmm I will see if I can put some of that stuff back on him...

Well, if you want to make it look more agile, I'd suggest making the limbs a bit slimmer. And perhaps give them the ability to bend backwards, so it could dash on all fours. Or one crazy idea: have additional legs come out of the back so it could run/jump on four legs like a centaur. Or just give it a jetpack/jetboots.
Another idea: if it's not already implemented, would be to have the cockpit behind one of the eyes. Or maybe have one behind each for the co-pilot (if there is one). Or you could put it in that little spot in the forehead.
One more thing: the open mouth. Personally I see it as a potential weak point, what with it catching force of blows, blasts, ect. So why not have teeth cover it. Then they could open to reveal another weapon.
It really goes to show how little I know about this mech.

Thank you Mr. Mad I really liked your ideas and I want you to know I appreciate all the help Thanks man! You are awesome!

OK, this looks pretty nifty to me. As for stopping Randoms' backstory and going back to Madeline being in the focus, well... if his backstory is something important that your audience needs to know, and this is the right time for you to share that backstory, then would it still work if the backstory was told later? If it wouldn't work later, then you basically have to tell it now.
But you're also sort of trapped by the biggest limitation of Webcomics - the slow rate of publishing. The last page of the comic was published in February. How much time would be needed for Random's backstory? If it's just one or two pages, then that's not that bad. If it's an entire chapter, then in webcomic publishing time, that's a long time to sideline the title character of the comic.

It's fine it can wait, people know what they want to see, if I insist I am always right in a story it may turn people off from what I am doing, his back story is interesting I will just push it back a bit, but I will just switch the chapter order
LOL I .... I know. I will get to that very soon

We all do our very best!

I kinda like it! If you want it to look more smaller or more compact, then maybe make it look a bit more hunched down? Would probably make it look more beast-like too, like the big bad wolf it is. That's what I'd do anyway. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well yes I was planning on that, but I was afraid if I drew it like that people might get the impression it never stands up.
What would you changed besides the posing? You know a lot about this stuff. I want to learn whatever you are willing to teach me
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh okay. The proportions do look like their for a hunched down character. I guess I'd make the arms and legs look bulkier? A personal preference of mine for hunched down characters anyway.

Okay I will do this, thank you Imbisibol Thank you for your help art bro!!!

is the head mechanical as well? if it is maybe show that in some screws or details to show its not an actual head ^^
otherwise looks good to me man! ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I need to work on that, but I felt if I put details on a sketch it would look too busy like a gundam, so I am going to put a few but it will show more with the colors
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
at least its not a michael bay transformer with 2 billion moving parts and details ^^
I actually kind of like the gundam simplicity just as much as the 80s trasnformers style. ^^
But i think you will make it GREAT

Yeah it will never get to be more then Barricuda (Madeline's mech)

Why thank you my friend, the fact that you mean that means a lot to me
