While spending a cool, fall day bicycling on the paths in the forest, you come across a clearing in the woods that is recessed down into a ravine. You lean your touring bike on a tree by the side of the road becasue the path down would be better handled by foot. When you reach the bottom, you find that this place is enchanted; it appears to contain new breeds of creature! You realize that this land has given you the power of creator- as you think it, it becomes! This power is so much fun...

three designs

Wow, this is really cool :D

Zack (Aug 27, 2005)

RP: you're not far off the mark from my intention; as can be seen, each mech has 2 small guns on the body (the distant one being obscured for the first two) and 2 of what I call "weapons pods," which would be interchangeable with each other (except for right/left orientation). The large gun and 6-missile launcher on the middle mech could be swapped with the weapons on the other mechs, for example. Also, each mech's torso would be capable of rotating over the base of the legs.

HK: yeah, Marcello preferred the other two as well. Strangely, I like the middle one most, but not by a wide margin.

Kabomb: Power Rangers? Good lord, no. :P Transformers is a stretch; the strongest distinct influence on these designs was probably Battletech. (w/ mechs such as the Uller/Kit-Fox and Shadowcat)

Walter: I'll probably draw more with humanoid legs. I used the same legs between them because legs are the hardest part to animate (which is pertinent to the reason I drew these in the first place). Prowler lives again?

satsu: thanks!

I wonder what these Mechs would look like If they were on PIMP YOUR MECHA.

Zack (Feb 8, 2006)

Simple; they would have gaudy paintjobs, tasteless chrome, pointlessly powerful sound systems, and small legion of DVD video players installed in bizarre places, while their interior machinery would recieve no upgrades whatsoever.

Preferred Applications

lycene (Aug 19, 2005)

Just wondering, what application do you find the most comfortable to use, and why? Personally, I love Oekaki Shi-Painter because of the simplicity. The color picker is easy to use, I can find the color I want easily, or, using my right mouse button, lift a color from my painting. I don't use most of the tools (I stick mainly with the watercolor brush in various sizes and opacities), so I don't have the screen cluttered up with other tool options. Lascaux tends to go jagged, even with the a...

Ok, I am not exactly sure what to put as the background, so I was hoping for a few suggestions.

awesome. looking forward to seeing this finished. I think the background would look great as a horizon with sky and sea. up to u tho

TaCO (Aug 25, 2005)

O.O Me likes!!!!!
Great perspective!!!!!!

LisaAnne (Aug 27, 2005)

I'd leave the background the way it is right now, because I think if you added other details it could take away from the skill and beauty shown in this piece. I enjoy the position of the figure and how she's sort of pushing on the edges of the canvas.
