Description Featuring AlphaLeo's mecha and the Lion (Or as Sandra puts it, the Meowser ) Himself!
Visit him here =

FINALLY, after almost 3 weeks of on and off on drawing, colouring, managing time between part time work, life and audio hobby, its done x_X
To date, this is probably the most difficult picture I've ever worked on simply because of that... that... mecha thingy! This is my first serious attempt putting together what I know in colouring any full-fledged mecha ever x_X
(The Strike Gundam I previously did didn't count... and Rockman isn't a full mecha type, so he doesn't count too O_O)

Believe me, Zephy ish not good at them mecha thingies *dies* x_X

Also first time drawing a BG to match the pic, but the different BG stuffs were drawn on separate pieces of maper, so the perspective (as I noticed) is off in a lot of places (most notably the mecha itself, unfortunately). This is my first try in CGing any sort of environment as well... It'll do for the time being I hope, need more practice X_X

Inking and final compositing is done in Adobe Photoshop CS 2.0, colouring completely done in Painter 9.0 using the Acrylics brush.
The whole pic was also an experiment to CG metallic surfaces using painting techniques and also a trial to colour things in a more mature tone (aka not so saturated, or de-saturated colours as some call it).

Done for AlphaLeo (obviously) as a belated birthday pic (Sorry Ray x_X), and also a way of saying thanks to him for being an inspiration as a peer, an artist and an animator.

Now before I reek of cheese...

It depends on what screen resolution you have it on though.

Mine's at a width of 1280, so its fine to me

i have to say a thousand thanks to u for putting so much effort on it, i'm also really glad it's a new level of challege for yourself 'LEVELED UP for u' and i dod hope u will continue to excel on your art skills. once again i can't thank enough.

You're welcome dude, think of it as nothing really

I wouldn't have been able to have done this pic without the inspiration of many people I consider peers and inspirers, and amongst these people, you're one of them

In fact, thanks for letting me draw your character and also practice on a wonderful mecha design n.n

As a way of thanking me *thick-skinned*, just keep on doing what you do, and keep on inspiring, and as much as what may happen happens, don't lose heart

As what you yourself said before, and I found quite inspiring (despite its little bit of cheesiness ) 'Fight a good fight, finish the race, keep the Faith'

If possible, I'll see you this December. PREPARE FOR A GUNDAM MATCH!

You always -do- pull out all the stops on things like this. Fantastic composition.

I also enjoy how it has that expansive, wide-angle feel to it that one so commonly sees in Alpha's work: it makes his character seem right at home.

Excellent job.

zephyron In reply to TerraForce [2006-10-13 07:36:30 +0000 UTC]

Thanks

I wanted to implement a little bit of his style in it, and you caught it

For someone I deem important, I'll pull out all the stops to make them happy =3
