Your latest Franken is very cool. It has a very intimidating design and gives the look that it'll rip you to shreds if you dont back away from it. The coloring is a bit rough as you mentioned already, but its still very well done. Good job.

Now... if only I had Photoshop... :(

As people pointed out already, the striker packs look kind of odd and even mismatching. Still, that's one fine franken you came up with. I love the coloring, and the assembly of the different parts match perfectly with each other :D

I actually find the Thantos to be very cute & cuddly. Seriously.

You can also play around with levels (ctrl+L), brightness/contrast and the 'sharpen edge' filter to bring out the lines.

Looks husky looking which isn't a bad thing.

Indeed. A very nice mix of CE and RX-78 series parts.
Just needs some weapons now.

I love all of your designs. The Destiny without those weapons in Greipe colors is just plain sexy. If you need help with profiling, I could help out.

More like the Arblade Custom from @3 than the Wurger.

Actually, nightwing and Wingnut are both right. The torso, skirt armor, arms and most of the head are from the wild wurger and the legs are from the Arblade custom.

New mobile suit time! I'll admit this one isn't too creative, but it's a design meant for a fanfiction idea that I had; a Strike Gundam Mk.II.

And here it is!


GAT-X105II Strike Gundam Mk.II -- EAF Colors


GAT-X105II Strike Gundam Mk.II -- N.E.L.O. Colors


It wasn't too hard to design, since all I did was take the Aile pack and cut off the wings, but I'm pretty happy about how it turned out.

Today's update isn't something new, but rather something old made new. Silvak asked me if he could clean up my Spartan Gundam and I said he could. A few days later he produced a cleaned up version of the artwork, which I think turned out pretty nicely. It's certainly better than the original picture at any rate.

I like the Aurora, but the Strike mk2's shoulders are a bit big... it looks really, really top-heavy.

Wow, awesome stuff! I really like the Spartan, and your Destiny recolor actually looks better than the original IMO. I also like the darker colors for the Strike II, it reminds me of the GM Quel's colors.

How so? All I did was take the Aile Strike Gundam and shave off the wings. I suppose the backpack is a little large compared to other mobile suits, but it's still pretty balanced IMO.

Thanks to the proportions on the lineart, the Strike's legs look a bit on the small side. That's probably what makes it look top-heavy.

Well, then I guess I have a problem with the lineart, too.... if you look closely, the shoulder armor is about as wide as the waist.... :shock:
