Mecha Talk

Seems pretty off-colour and maybe a bit grainy at the moment. It could use some minor touch-ups.

Anyways
LV-ZMGF-X23S Vent Saviour Gundam
Manufacturer: Librarian Works
Operator: Librarian
Total Height: 18.69m
Weight: 74.29t
Fixed armaments: 2 x MMI-GAU25A 20mm CIWS, fire-linked, mounted in head; MMI-RD11 aerodynamic shield, mounted on left arm; 2 x M106 "Amfortas" plasma beam cannon, mounted on backpack, can be fired in mobile suit and mobile armor mode; 2 x MMI-GAU2 "Picus" 76mm machine gun; 2 x MA-7B "Super Fortis" beam cannon; 2 x MA-M941 "Vajra" beam saber, stored on shoulders, hand-carried in use
Optional hand armaments: MA-BAR70 high-energy beam rifle, power rating unknown
Pilot: Gud Vair, Elijah Kiel

Not terribly exciting. It got a bit taller because the backpack is shifted up for the Striker hardpoint, and somehow lost 3 tonnes.

Here's the original if anyone want to attempt a better job at cleaning it up.

Well, that was far more of an adventure than I initially expected. Anyways, it doesn't look like a Slaughter Dagger anymore, so success I guess.
GAT-01A1 Dagger (junk)

Don't you think that's a bit to bright? Judging from the screen-shot on the left of the line-art, I assume that the Dagger is actually that dark.

The entire scan is dark. To a certain extent, yes, the Destiny art may have been trying to match the slightly more somber Heaven's Base arc colour palette, but I was trying to balance between that with the art on the site, the MSV rendering, and the Gunbarrel Dagger HG kit.

There's a pretty strong argument the MSV art would be a better starting point, actually, because it's a much better scan, and the detail is a lot better.

Incidentally, I just noticed something else I have to fix because it got red shifted somewhere in the colour fixes. That's not going to be fun...oh, and there's an entire section of ankle armour detail that went missing trying to get rid of the scan lines that I never noticed before. I'm comfortable to call that junk and see if there's another way around this or if the artifacts just aren't visible at low brightness, but the scan lines are still going to an nuisance regardless.

EDIT: Jeez, that bit of ankle detail is barely even showing up on that scan, it's a miracle I could make it out and basically impossible after brightening it. I think I'll just clean up the MSV version for the heck of it.

GAT-01A1 Dagger (MSV Watercolours)
It's certainly higher quality than either of the others.

Here's the actual screen-shot, so it is lighter than the scan but quite different from the MSV watercolor...

I think I saw someone refer to this as Gold Frame Complete. No clue what it's from but maybe someone else can figure that out form the original scan

MBF-01 Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Perfect Form.

Perfect Grade Red Frame model kit instruction variation, I guess, but it's just referred to as plain Amatsu there (with the MBF-P01 model number). Backstory is that it's what Rondo Gina Sahaku intended to finish Amatsu as before he was killed and his sister modified it into Amatsu Mina Custom instead.

This may not be the best of quality, and might not even be enough to put up, but I made them for my own collection and figured someone might want them...

...I don't know why I made a Jet version, since I don't think it ever actually used that pack, but it was saved before I noticed....

Edit (well, more of a reply, but whatever): @RedZaku, I totally get that, and like I said, I don't even know why I made when I specifically went into Photoshop to make a Dopplehorn Outframe since I noticed I didn't have one in my collection... And no, you didn't sound like a jerk or anything, just someone trying to help out.

Hope I'm not over stepping here, or sounding like a jerk but, for future reference Darrien, MAHQ only uses custom lineart when the lineart submitted is meant to represent something that actually was present in the show that has no official art. Not saying they aren't good, but there's no need to post the Jet Outframe since it doesn't exist yet.

Edit: Rather then make a new post, since I'm still the last post here, I made a new higher quality bit of lineart for Sword Calamity Ed Colors, ZAKU Splendor, and Ginn WASP type. I got them from a high res scans posted on Danbooru.
