Description Hmm, had one of those horrible urges yet again to draw something more genericly "Anime" than my usual fatigues and kevlar. So here's the latest effort toward blending in to the Giant-Stompy stream. Pretty much a poster type thing. Pilots, Mechs, space station and a couple of drop ships. The dude at the top is the usual mech-rookie (his mech's the one on the left). Lower left is the Veteran, doesn't like the Rookie one bit, though he worships the ground that she walks on. To borrow one of Midget's phrases "hard as a coffin nail". Last but not least is the Commander, who's entire function as far as I can tell is to sit around and privide eye-candy for the rest of the bridge crew. Tried to do the uniforms a bit more fancy than usual, still couldn't quite bring myself to give the Rookie that groin protector that makes regular apearences on mech-pilots' armor. It's only true purpose appears to crush the main character's genitalia so as to restrict testosterone levels and allow him to ANGST for the entire series. As I said before, the stompy on the left belongs to the Rookie, a sniper version. It forgoes the wrist-mounted beam-sword and shoulder missile launchers of the combat type (on right, belongs to the veteran) exchanging them for a steadier hand and uprated sensor system. As a final note, take a close look at the drop ships. They have GUNS, a must for any dropship. However, I don't know about anyone else, but I have NEVER seen an anime drop-ship take off or put down underfire, so they may be redundant

Ok, this took me bloody ages to do, mainly 'cause I haven't had time to work on it. Pretty much took it from pencil line art to finished in a couple of hours. And yes, I know I messed up the Commander severely. For starters she should be looking inward for picture composition. And if I hear ANYONE mention her anatomy (which I know I messed up) I will personally kill the Ferret.

Anyway, have fun kids. There was probably something else I meant to write, but can't remember right now.

Crits, comments and chocolate welcome as always.

I really like your stuff; you have a very clean style, especially in Mecha. What do you use to draw? Or do you just not have to erase anything, unlike us poor mortals?

Heh thanks. Just a 2H 0.5mm pacer and whatever inking pens I can get hold of (my second set, the first were confiscated getting on a plane, apparently I could stab someone with them or something). I like the 2H, 'cause it's easy to erase. You'd be suprised how many erasers I actually go through, and now I've got my old style of sketch pad back, so the paper doesn't get chewed up. Oh, and I have a F 0.5mm pacer as well for shading darker areas.

Thanks again.

Awesome mate great to see something new from the old mecha work shop and yes very anime. Not the ussual realisticy style but still very awesome and works well in the poster format would be SO aweome coloured The picture doesn't seem thrown together so that it is displeasing to the eye yet still holds your attention only to throw it another way

I can't think of a caption cause of the poster style of it. Maybe more "your glatic force needs YOU!" and in small print "the galactic force doesn't acctualy need you to be as good as these three but we need alot of extras to die in the process of these guys getting there and that bit is ALL YOU! have a nice day"

in TINY TINY print

Awesome

Very cool. It is pretty funny you mention groin armour, 'cause I had a discussion with my friend about its functionality in a -mech-. We pondered and discussed it when I brought up the fact that the pilot could have the mecha taken down, and they were forced to transverse the ground on foot... at least until a transport could pick them up. Coupled with the fact that... according to my bro... shots to the testicles result in 75% chance of death due to severe shock... I thought groin armour would be very appropriate.

I don't know, I always felt that that protector (you know, the one that looks like an armored set of underpants worn on the outside) would make movement more difficult. And yes, being shot in the balls has a high chance of death. Partly also because I belive there's actually two fairly large arteries running into that region of the body

Thanks mate.

um, I got pinged, so I'll say what I was trying to say before I got kicked off...

I must be going crazy, because I keep finding chicks cute.... and damn, why is that commander so attractive? and as for the groin protector, so that's why Shinji was such a terrible nerd....

does anybody remember when he moved in with the purple-haired lass... he ran in with nothing on, and got saved by a beer can in the right place... then she moved it and it got replaced by a small box of toothpicks....

and as for a caption how about

"hang around with hot chicks, save the universe. small chance of dying, but don't let it bother you.
actual chance of dying, 96%

Nice, goodly-doo mech, YAY!

Hehe, as I'm now workin' on an same thing basicly, though No poster type.
Had to try something Neon Genesis type, and I'm really going to put all my effort on it, hehe.

You got nice amount of details, though the commander yeah... well. Perspective has been your strong points I see... I cant do them

Well, keep up the good work.

So in the genre wes, well done.

Photoshop could be used to make it more poster-like, perhaps the mechs slightly less prominent to attract attention to the pilots.

Thats the real critique over...

I think its mad. Catch ya.
