artmaster079's MS Lineart Database

Anonymous · Thu Dec 07, 2006 1:51 am

Hey everyone, its been a LONG time since I posted anything in this section, so here goes...

This thread is gonna be for my random mecha drawings as well as a way to get feedback on lineart for my upcoming fanmanga (is that even a word?) entitled "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Crusade" (title is tentative for now).

Hopefully I can get something up tonight for you guys to see....

EDIT:
This is the first MS used by the main character, Shiro Takura

This is a color test I did on the Caliber Gundam design.

The drawings are nice... The design has a very SEED-ish feel. It especially brings to mind the Blast Impulse.

A few questions... I note that the first two sketches appear to have a four vulcans, two on each side, while the colored version only has the traditional pair. I also note that the original two have a pair of vulcan-like holes in the middle of each kneecap which the colored version lacks. What was the purpose of these in the first place, and are they being omitted from the final design? Also, are the forearm mounted weapons guns (a la Alex) or beam sabers?

I like the design of the beam rifle, the torso, and the big ol' cannon. Good job on those. The shoulders feel a bit too big, too pointy. The head has a pretty good general Gundam-y feel but lacks a distinguishing feature or gimmick.

Overall, it's very nice, but I think you can improve it a little more.

Hmm... I looked over the linearts again, and i remembered that the colored one was done earlier. I had redrawn the Caliber design after an accident with the original. I guess i made some modifications and didn't make a note of it.

Yeah.... it does look a bit plain, doesn't it? I was trying to aim for a very basic and non-fancy looking design since its suppose to be a hand made suit under a budget. On that note, i should post the stats and info on this guy...

Thanks for the comment Ascension!! It was greatly needed!

I like the Nautilus mode. While it does visibly draw inspiration from the Abyss, it's different enough to look somewhat unique. I even like the enhanced sensor package (that is what it is, right?) on the crotch. I'm also glad to see a reappearance of the quad vulcans and the mysterious knee things. They give the base Caliber unit something that distinguishes itself from the norm of SEED Gundam design.

I love the Police Gundam! It looks very G-Gundam-esque. The only parts I'm not quite so fond of are the bazooka (it looks awkward, especially mounted like it is) and the handcuffs (which are almost completely unrecognizable as handcuffs). Maybe you should give it some sort of shield mounted handcuff-launcher or a hand carried net-gun instead?

Anonymous · Sun Dec 10, 2006 11:12 pm

The handcuffs are supposed to have the effect of the virus spreaders seen in the Astray series. At the time i drew it, i was unsure where to place the handcuffs, so i had him hold it in his hand lol.

Shield-mounted might be a good idea...., but it couldn't it get damaged if the shield takes a direct hit?

My favorite feature on the Police Gundam is the convieniently shaped visor that looks like good 'ol cop shades

Actually, Ascension, my original idea for the Nautulius mode comes from the ZGMF-1000/AAL Nautilica ZAKU Warrior from DESTINY-MSV. I then took inspiration from the Abyss as noted before.

Ascension · Sun Dec 10, 2006 11:26 pm

The cop shades are a very nice touch, and one of the reasons I said it reminded me of something from G-Gundam.

As for shield mounted handcuffs having a chance of being damaged... Yes, realistically, but that logic didn't stop the Gyan or Nu shields from being armed with missiles or the Sword Strike and Infinite Justice shields being mounted with "rocket anchors," or the Providence shield from being given a beam saber and two beam guns. There was a whole thread in the Mecha and Technology forum about a month or so ago debating the usefulness of shield mounted weaponry.

I'd be inclined to mount the handcuffs kind of like the Infinite Justice's "Grapple Stinger," pictured here... http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/seed-d ... a-eeq8.jpg except maybe on the tip of the shield like the Sword Strike's rocket anchor here... http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/seed/l ... reisen.jpg

If these are supposed to be handmade suits why do they have a ZAFT barcode?

Other than that i think they look great. Also the packs allowing it to work in different areas to a better degree is a smarter idea than just being able to switch between weapons.

I'm not a big fan of the police MS, looks alittle too silly, even for SEED. Also bullets would probably seem a more likely choice for a law enforcement suit, as beams would case too much collateral damage, its like having your everyday coping toting a gatlinggun. The sunglasses seem a bit far out there, but then again the DSSD astrays have like space suit helmets.

I think they look cool,and the cop glasses are a nice touch but the one I realy like is the one in color,I think the color test was a succuss!

Hey old friend!! Thanks for the comment, like your sig.... anyway, check out the pics in the fanfic section, under "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Crusade"

Well, for those who don't look at the fanfiction section, I'm posting some of the images there. They were originally supposed to be here as well, but i kinda forgot

Nightwing03 · Thu Mar 01, 2007 6:38 pm

Hmm..i remember seeing some of these in your Fanfiction: Gundam SEED:Crusaders

artmaster079 · Thu Mar 01, 2007 7:51 pm

Yeah, the original idea was to post it here and get comments on it. Then the final version would be the one to appear in the fanfiction itself, but obviously that didn't work...

Yuusha Tokkyu Might Gaine · Thu Mar 01, 2007 9:30 pm

LOL, SWAT Gundam.

. I have been wanting to make a gundam simular to SWAT Mode's concept The last one looks like a mix between F91 and Gaia, but I like Blade Blitz the most

Ok, i know i haven't updated this in awhile, but I wanted to get some opinions on this.

Now, this isn't Gundam mecha, but is it mechanical..ish. Lately, I found some old sketches I made of original Digimon characters, and I fixed them up. One in particular is Gundam inspired.

I'll post the specs I came up with for it if any of you all wish to see it.

Can anyone name the Gundam- inspired parts? (Hint: certain parts of the armor can rotate)

I really love this Gundam! It's just like Code Geass's Knight Police.

well, i'm guessing it's the boosters on the back and the upper body armor.
the first i don't know, but the second one looks like that of the freedom.
