I don't traditionally post WIPs or sketches on cohost, for some reason the vibe of this site communicates to me it'd be preferable to stick to just finished pieces. Nonetheless, sometimes you can really feel how much you're cooking on a certain piece.
An aspect that has always spoken to me on a spiritual level about mecha is the ways in which certain designs become symbols unto themselves. The GM cannot exist without the Zaku, and neither can exist without being symbols of the respective political entities they represent. To live is to exist in opposition of the other, forevermore. In every universe and every timeline, a bulbous monoeye mecha with some kind of tubing will attempt to chop a rectangular visored mecha to pieces. Two souls, eternally intertwined, doomed to reincarnate and commit violence upon the other. A veritable Spirit Circle if you will.
Anyway, I hope you'll look forward to the Lancer illustrations I'm working on.
