Description
Working outside of Mark Simmons' lineart is difficult. I thought I'd post up what I ended up with. I can't really color it at this point because the lines have deteriorated so much from my manipulation. The head is the wrong size and it's in the wrong place, and I think one arm is shorter than the other. The head was especially hard as I mixed medias, adding a Barzam (from Zeta Gundam) head frame to Xenogears lineart.

There are some things I really like about it though -- I pulled the monoeye and replaced it with a GM-style visor, which I think looks good here. The small shoulder shieldy-things next to the arms were pulled and edited from two different units, then merged together under the larger shoulder armor. I also pulled parts from the chest and legs to modify the head and fit it nicer into the body, and I like the look of that too.

I need to figure out how to clean my linearts without destroying the lines ... I'm not skilled enough with the eraser and even without antialiasing, the magic wand goes too close.

Feel free to tell me how crappy this is.
