Mecha - The Good Boy
I love challenging myself, and Mecha, while I enjoy them, aren't something I'm very good at. So whenever I get the chance to draw them, I take it with a great amount of glee.
The commissioner for this piece had ideas but no solid plan for what they wanted so we basically just worked out sketches and tossed around ideas till he saw things he liked.
I really dug the whole blueprint idea, too.
The commissioner requested an Aztec feel to the words and pictures withing the blueprint (including a "rope" language).
A lot of fun, this one!
Sketches, as commissioner wasnt 100% what their new mech was going to look like.
More sketches, and some ideas :)
Alien Pulse Rifle morphed into the original weapon design. Cause why not?
Weapons were up in the air, but the shell ideas taken from this "shotgun spear" made it to final.
Tech details for the underlying mech design.
Original sketch.
This showed the commissioner what they DIDNT want... :\
Closer to what would eventually become the final piece. Shoulder missile launchers needed to finesse.
Unsure of the head, we did a few variations...
...and some more...
...and some more...
...are we there yet?
Nope, and some more....
...and so on.
This is more than I would usually do, honestly, but the ideas kept flowing.
These were the ones I liked, all on the same page.
FInal "Yes!" sketch.
Pretty traditional mech, I guess.
Mock up.
And the final Blueprint style image.
