still feeling crazy ill so I don't have any energy to refine these further, but I am dipping my toes into the world of grunt suit designing

a couple low fidelity pen sketches of two "generic" mech suits. one has a more soldier-y aesthetic whereas the other feels a bit more space age.

on one hand I wish I could just pay five bucks to instantly stop being sick but on the other that implies that there is some form of microtransactions in life and I stop liking the idea instantly

I have been CRAZY busy lately but I finally got a little time recently to do some personal art, so here's another iteration on Fortuna.

Right side was an initial sketch to figure out vibes, Left is a refinement on the ideas using the symmetry tool.
#art #digitalart #oc
Two side-by-side digital sketches of a giant mecha, the first being a refined one that's mirrored down the middle, and the second being a much more freeform one that shows humanlike gesture. Both use a classic gundam Red/White/Blue/Yellow/Black color scheme, with slightly desaturated reds and blues. Overall the robot has a very standard giant robot silhouette, just drawn to my particular tastes in mechanical design.

when i drew things like this i think about that one boomer here who complained about clothes that have the hoohah showing
black widow aka Natasha romanoff from marvel rivals in her classic skin on a rooftop against a night scene in a midcentury modern inspired retro cartoon pinup style looking back over her shoulder as her cape thingy with sparkles blows in the wind

🟥RX-77-2 Guncannon
🟦RX-75 Guntank

#Gundam
The RX-77-2 Guncannon was support mobile suit used by the Earth Federation during the One Year War. It was part of the Operation V development project along the Guntank and the RX-78-2 aka the White Devil. The Guncannon's design prioritized bulkiness over mobility and an overall reliability in middle-range attacks. It's main weapons are of course the shell-firing cannon's attached to it's shoulders, that could be swapped by missile launchers, the circled sensor on it's crotch area helped auto-lock enemies. It also had the ability to utilize bean weaponry with it's hands. The White Base unit, one of the 3 survival units from the attack on Side 7, was piloted mainly by Kai Shiden. It's bulky appearence, paired with roundness, helps to stablish it as a support, tanky unit. It's red color could be of aid in the battlefield, taking the attention of the enemy over more fragile units. The RX-75 Guntank was the first "Mobile Suit" developed in Project V as a response to Zeon's Zaku. The Guntank resembles more a tank than a proper Mobile Suit. It has the torso and arms of an MS and caterpillar threads for legs. This unit, however, is incapable of turning it's torso. It made it difficult to battle against moving targets. It's power source, a mix of nuclear reactor and gas turbines, sadly didn't give it enough power output for beam weaponry. It excels at long and middle range combat. With 120mm cannon's on it's shoulders and four-barrel missile launchers for hands/arms. It helped mostly against enemy tanks and aircraft. It's design really conveys a desperation to have something to fight the enemy, and fast. Maybe not the best or optimal, but practical. It's color palette is mostly blue, with hints of red and white, the Earth Federation colors.

with regard to game design please consult the objective chart
digital sketch of a generic looking smarmy guy gesturing to a chart behind him. the chart is a bar graph where the side axis is labeled "good level" and the two bars are "Game I Like" versus "Game You Like" The former has a score of 36 on an arbitrary scale and the latter has a score of -5, drawn below the horizontal axis.

I think I may have decided on the Creature I'd like my sona to be but I'm not exactly sure on the design yet. Still super busy, so I can't expect to realize my idea anytime soon, but the idea IS there. Hope you all like her whenever I do get to creating her.

since I'm bored and curious, if you were to associate me with an animal, monster, mythological creature, or cryptid, what would it be? I've been casually considering sona options but nothing quite speaks to me--hoping that asking strangers online might help me decide

Hello Bluesky! I've recently released my first game Execution Party, a timed arcade-ish game inspired by Dragon Quest 1's slow but satisfying to optimize level grind.

You can find the game here: lolipop1136.itch.io/execution-pa...

I'll try to post updates on my future projects here as well!

if you squint and cross your eyes and unfocus them and stare past the drawing and use your imagination it almost looks like she’s holding a bow
Kate Bishop aka Hawkeye of marvel comics young avengers in a midcentury modern inspired retro cartoon pinup style wearing a 60s style shift dress with a circle pattern posing against a purple background with arrows to look like she’s about to shoot an arrow from a bow even though she’s not holding one
