Syd Mead is the concept artist best known for his work on Blade Runner, Aliens, and Tron.
Did you know that he also did mecha designs for Gundam?
Specifically ∀ Gundam?
The best* one!
*(The only one I've watched I haven't gotten around to any others yet so I can't actually say which is the best don't @ me)
neat-o
So obviously I chose this one because mecha and orange lighting are my
A E S T H E T I C
First, I isolated and sketched what I thought were the basic shapes of the figure.
Then, I brushed on a base color for the mech's silhouette, and progressively built up the shading on top of that. It was looking a little undefined after that, so I added some lines to sharpen it up.
I switched to blue!
for contrast?
I should have taken progress shots, but I didn't know we had to until it was done...
I don't have much experience with soft shading, but all things considered, I think this went pretty well.
