Reposting this request incase it hasn't been undertaken. If it has, would the artist working on this request please send me a message.
So this is my first attempt at requesting custom lineart, so hopefully this goes well. I have a bit of a franken MS to be built, having initially designed this machine about 10 years ago, and recently revising it, I will use the Technical notes i have made on it's appearance.
Technical and Historical Notes:
The Griffon Gundam is an experimental Nex-gen Mobile Suit that was designed using parts and equipment from salvaged machines. The main body is that of a salvaged Re-GZ Ms that fully lost both of its arms, severed at the torso connection, in a battle and was left to rust. The arms, V-fin, and ‘face’ are salvaged from an R&D version of the Wing Gundam, before its design was changed to be simpler rather than extravagant. To kick off the design, teams installed new beam shields in the fins located on the unit’s arms, which they modified to open up and use Armoir Lumiere to create an ‘arrowhead’ shield. From there technicians modified the head, creating a sort of ‘fused’ form of the two heads, where the Wing’s face was visible unless ‘battle mode’ was engaged, which caused the Re-GZ’s face plates to slide out and cover all but the eyes. Once the upper body was done, Technitcions replaced the grenade launchers with the Wing’s hip armor, and modified them to carry a set of combinable beam sabers, which happen to be a spare set from Orb’s Akatsuki Mobile suit.
The next project on the list was the installation of new thrusters on the body. Technicians gutted the outer leg thrusters and installed a more efficient , lower thrusters salvaged from a unused set of Nu gundam’s Heavy Weapons system. This also allowed technichians to store a small beam pistol, taken from a fallen RGM-79-Late GM, and store it in the Griffon’s right leg as an emergency weapon. Additionally, the Orginal ReGZ’s booster pack was damaged and was removed. In its place, engineers created a new booster pack out of a salvaged Gouf Flight type H backpack and the Freedom’s Wings, which have been stripped of their weaponry. This pack allows the Griffon to fly in atmosphere without the need of a special vehicle. Once the body was redesigned, it was rearmored using Gundanium plating, with Zodarium reinforcing the chest area, and painted in the standed black-white experimental color scheme.
Request: I would like to request a lineart of this machine, both front and if possible, Rear view of the machine please.
