I used Mark Simmons' picture of the Hi-Nu and a Strike Freedom MSiA for reference, but otherwise drew it by hand.

And thanks. =D

Shadowcell: "Well, they um... they're joints specially made for slicker movement."

Nina: "Time to... unpimp, ze Gundam?"

Shadowcell: "What!?"

<A giant wreckingball smashes Strike Nu off the screen and shatters it into a thousand pieces!>

<Zeta Gundam is then wheeled in to replace it>

Rei: "Zeta Gundam, smooth sleek, economical, comes with transforming ability."

Nina: "Guaranteed to get the job done."

<Rei and Nina stand in front of Zeta Gundam and make 'A' and 'E' signs with their hands>

Rei and Nina: "Zeta Gundam. Lunar enginnering. In da house 'yo."

No comment...

And that MS looks cool ShadowCell... way better than alot of Gundams already drawn.

*scornfully looks at G Gundam*

And hand drawn just makes it seem so much better!

Don't worry Shadowcell... we can force Okawara to draw a more Anime-usable version (Not adding anything just cleaning it up to look like it should be in CCA), I mean look at SEED Destiny... he OWES us.

These five are from that monstrouslike SEED fic I've got going. Not gonna say anything other than that. One of these days I'll need to redo the Calypso.

From an abortive Cosmic Era fanfic...nothing much to say.

These two were traced from Crossbone Gundam X1 lineart and I added all this other crap on.

Upgrade of the Gundam Vizeros from my old abortive fanfic "The Eternal Mistake."

I've asked alot of people this so would you help with our Looking for volunteer's thread?

*MOD EDIT*
This is a great opportunity to explain the PM button. This button allows a user to send a personal message to another user regarding anything they wish. Spamming each Mecha Design and Fanart contributor is an imbecilic thing to do.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is: 1.) It's okay to ask once... maybe twice for Mecha Design and Fanart contributors to do work or assist, but 2.) learn how to acquire enough common sense to know what you're doing is annoying. Oh, and 3.) Keep doing this and you'll get slammed.

I want this to be a learning experience for others. The PM button is your friend. Be an idiot, and you'll be the next perfect example to learn something from.

A Muramasa blasterr the size of an anti-ship sword... SWEET!!!

That'll make the grunts soil themselves in a hurry.

ShadowCell · Mon Apr 24, 2006 9:29 pm

I had been under the impression that the Muramasa blaster was always more or less the size of an anti-ship sword.

This, Bandai, is why you need to freaking send Crossbone to our teeming shore already. My soul yearns for it.

Anyways, as long as I have my own thread here, fun with character lineart!

I'd like to think I'm capable of repairing Hisashi Hirai's more WTFy choices in character design. I know he's not the same Lord Djibril if he's not wearing his pajamas and lipstick but still.

On the other hand, we all wished the President of the United States would dress this badassly. Yeah, I stole the idea from Wong Yun Fat, but you know what, Domon gave him the God Finger, what's he going to do about it?

Dorel, from an abortive fanfic. He still looks like a girl. I guess he always will. You're too freaking pretty, Dorel.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v21/S ... hareux.jpg

Zabine, from an abortive fanfic. He looks like a man. Even with his girly long hair. SEED and DESTINY made me dreadfully miss this concept of males actually looking like males.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v21/S ... aidNou.jpg

Based on some fanart and what I've heard about Crossbone, this would be my best guess at what the new and rather maimed Seabook looks like. I think it's more or less accurate. I hope.

And in order to keep the mechaliness going...

Oh hey wow look, I, like, updated.

Behold! Another reason why I don't have a girlfriend.

Yes, folks, gone are the days where some obnoxious child with a Christ complex can pilot a veritable god of death into battle and merely disable mobile suits. Kira, to quote Donald Trump, "you're fired." Now then, Mr Yazan Gable, your new machine is waiting.

I tried to emulate the famous epilepsy-inducing shininess of SEED mecha here, so if any of you randomly collapse to the ground twitching and drooling, uh, it's not my fault. Really.

I kind of feel like I followed the Bob Ross School of Art on this one...so I guess the whole thing is one big happy accident.

Oh yeah, and coloring in Photoshop with a touchpad was harder than I thought it would be.

It really pretty much is just a crappy drawing of the Strike Freedom Gundam, colored crappily in Photoshop. The wings came out wonky, some of the lines came out wonky, the knees came out really wonky, some of the coloring came out wonky, but overall, crappiness and wonkiness aside, I think it came out alright.

Folken Fanel · Thu Aug 31, 2006 8:40 pm

I like it. Yazan can get the groin-grabbing goodness going in the Cosmic Era. Even if it looks wonky, the Titans make everything gold.

Destroy Gundam · Thu Aug 31, 2006 10:40 pm

Titan colors can make anything look good.

Why do people always mention Yazan and groin-grabs? I'm confused.

mcred23 · Thu Aug 31, 2006 10:41 pm

In episode 26 ("The Ghost Of Zeon") at the start of the episode, while his Gaplant was being fixed (to deal with a blind spot) Yazan talked to some rookie named Ado. In the process, he moved up to Ado and grabbed his crotch for reasons I can't remember.

Wingnut · Thu Aug 31, 2006 10:44 pm

Too bad the random image threads are no more as you could simply point him to that great moment in Gundam history.

Why IS it that Titans colors seem to increase the badassery of any MS they are placed on anyway?

ShadowCell · Thu Aug 31, 2006 11:24 pm

Once more with feeling!

I don't think this one came out as well in terms of coloring...but I like it nevertheless.

And my little friend Shinn approves.

Don't you, Shinn?

Draco Starcloud · Fri Sep 01, 2006 2:26 am

Y'know...I don't think I could think of a scarier-looking Gundam to look out the window and see.

EDIT: And "Umpimp My Gundam" is half of why Rei gets fresh cinnamon rolls and the rest of the mods have to run down to the donut shop every morning to split a stale bear claw.

EZero8 · Fri Sep 01, 2006 2:31 am

Excellent work ShadowCell! Like Draco, I dont think there could be a scarier Gundam in a creepy situation like that.

"I WANT MY SHOW BACK, B****!!!"

Folken Fanel · Fri Sep 01, 2006 4:21 pm

MOD APPROVED

That is a classic. Work of Art.

Clest · Fri Sep 01, 2006 4:52 pm

I like that black and red Mobile armor, it is really nice and you lineart looks better there than in most other pieces

Anyway, interesting concepts

Turinu · Fri Sep 01, 2006 5:36 pm

When I read all that, crumbs couldn't help fall out of my mouth from my sub as I was laughing.

Great job, I loveit, so much that I exclude a space.

ShadowCell · Fri Oct 20, 2006 4:53 pm

Oh, see, now you made her angry.

Tried to follow the Mac Hall coloring style enumerated in said tutorial. Unfortunately, Ian McConville is an art major with talent and skill and years of practice, and I'm a guy with Photoshop and nothing to do on a Friday afternoon, so there's some disparity between our final products. Oh well.

mcred23 · Fri Oct 20, 2006 4:57 pm

For whatever reason, that image has corrupted my love of the MP-5K, and it'll take me a few weeks to like it again.

Gun-loving-ness aside... it looks pretty good. It isn't horribile, but it isn't perfect either.
