For a long time, I've been working on a set of original Mobile Suits for a post-Gundam Seed Destiny story. After much work, I have finally drawn the five SXP units and their pilots.
The SXP series was supposed to be the next generation of ZAFT MS, but most were stolen by an anti-FAITH rebellion. Only the fifth unit (and the most powerful) remained in ZAFT's command.
SXP-01: RaWIN Pilot: Lunamaria Hawke
SXP-02: Zagen Pilot: Shiho Hahnenfuss
SXP-03: LaIllum Pilot: Katrina Mihailov
SXP-04(A): Storm Gundam Pilot: Ken Eneas
SXP-04(B, C, D): Bunraku Fliers: Hira-Raku, Raum-Raku, Tals-Raku
SXP-05: DraNU Pilot: Shinn Asuka
All images were sketched out in Photoshop, "inked" in Illustrator, then colored back in Photoshop.

The sketches remind me of the Monoeye Gundams

These are great pictures. They're certainly more ZAFT-style (except for the Storm) than the Destiny-era Gundams ZAFT built.

I wasn't sure what you meant until I picked up the latest volume of Ecole du Ciel. That Seirenes is pretty sweet!Yuusha Tokkyu Might Gaine wrote:The sketches remind me of the Monoeye Gundams
True. If I ever actually write the story, I'd try to be more original, but the summary is very similar. I think I used the story because Seed and Zeta Gundam compete for my favorite Gundam series.Wingnut wrote:The story sounds a lot like what happened with the Titans and AEUG in the UC timeline with FAITH in the role of the Titans.
I should mention that the artwork I posted earlier were second versions of my creations, about a year apart from my earlier attempts:
First attempt at RaWIN
First attempt at Zagen.
First attempt at an original Gundam. The Force Gundam.
Star Force Gundam.
First attempt at DraNU
DraNU Mobile Armor Mode 1.
DraNU Mobile Armor 2
Looking back, I think my designs improved.

After a prolonged absence, I finally created a ship to house my various creations:
DDMH-Y201 Pandora.
It's the first ship I've ever designed.

And not pink! An important consideration.
I like the shading--the whole thing reminds me of the Dark Schneider from F-Zero GX.

Actually, it seems more like a cross between the Eternal and the Gekko.

Yes, I never really understood ZAFT's color choice:ShadowCell wrote:And not pink! An important consideration.
"We, the members of ZAFT (who take great pride in our green and blue color schemes) do hereby commission that this ship bear the proud color... lightish red!"
"Hey, uh, that's pink."
"No, it's lightish red."
"They have a color name for lightish red. It's called 'Pink.'"
"Okay, shoot that guy and paint the stupid ship already! Lightish red for all!"

I did use the Eternal as a starting point since I don't have a lot of experience in desinging ships, plus I wanted to have the ship look ZAFT-ish. It seems that 90% of all ZAFT ships follow a stylized T design.Strike Zero wrote: Actually, it seems more like a cross between the Eternal and the Gekko.
I forgot about the Gekko and how cool it looks, but maybe a faint memory influenced the design. I've never seen Dark Schneider before, however, for I have never seen F-Zero GX.
