and i think the color scheme fits perfectly

how long did it take you? great pic/technique

GeN · Posted: Sun May 13, 2001 5:44 am

Whew, stunning! I can see how much time you spended on it... reminds me of the Evas from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Looking forward to see more stuff of you!

pshhhhhh!! totally excellent work, man! phat ass design. please make another sketch of this guy as he traveles on four with the hand wheels on the floor too.

go on!!

awsome!!

thanks for the comments, folks. yes, its very Eva-ish...those are such incredible designs, one of my favorite mechs, but i guess technically they're not mechs, are they? this took about 3� hours to spit out, sock. yeah, i intend to do a 4-wheeler view of it...after i get some sleep.

BTW i have the line art scanned in, if anyone is interested in coloring it, i'll post it. i can't paint for shit in photoshop.

I agree. That is so Evangelion, if you take off the wheels and the jet packs

hell yeah... right when i saw this i said EVA (out loud).. hehe. but im an anime freak so i kinda obsess over that shit.. but I think what makes it look most like an eva is that trademark mid section and neck. Sweet drawing though..

Dives · Posted: Sun May 13, 2001 8:51 am

uuuh nice.. but i think the wires should get more attention.. maybe a different color?

Transformers dii di dii di diii (humming the title song...)

Great stuff on your homepage, really
love those mechanical designs.

looks awesome Spine... but I couldn't help but notice perspective problems, like his left foot/ankle, and quite a few other places. Very nice.. I DO like the color/paint design and palette. =)

hey that is nice... nubie marker question how do u do the white highlights is it a marker or gouache or sommit... interested in buying some markers so help appreciated :P

klaivu · Posted: Sun May 13, 2001 1:05 pm

suberb !
both the design and execution !

spinefinger · Posted: Sun May 13, 2001 1:16 pm

frost - yes, the perspective is a bit funny...i was just too lazy to redraw it. if i do a final version of this i'm going to use my elipse guides and rulers, instead of freehanding the whole thing like the slob i am. this was drawn in a sketchbook and then i colored a photocopy.

MunkY - i use Pentel Milky Gel Rollers for highlights. a lot like guache, but in a ball-point pen. cheap too, like $1.50 USD. they're kiddie pens, but they work for me...

DiXter · Posted: Sun May 13, 2001 1:19 pm

frikin awsome.. i want to do pics like that too.

geoman2k · Posted: Sun May 13, 2001 2:31 pm

VERY cool... I like it a lot. My only problems are that I don't really like the wheel feet... I think it would look better with big chicken-looking feet. The wheel-feet are unique, but i just don't like them too much. Of course thats just an opinion, I could be completely wrong.
Also, its al little sketchy... try enlarging it and cleaning up the lines and junk.

Other than thouse two minor things, I love it. Keep up the amazing work.

kos.mandis · Posted: Sun May 13, 2001 2:41 pm

Excellent work man!

-Tepox- · Posted: Sun May 13, 2001 3:01 pm

Hihii! Rollerskating robo!

Just love the design and detailwork... I'm not going to say a single bad word about this lovely piece!

AgentNT · Posted: Sun May 13, 2001 6:31 pm

generally cool.

The thumbs seem to have a different jointing system.. there is an extra line on the left one. Just a minor minor detail.. sorry..

jorgy · Posted: Mon May 14, 2001 2:28 am

cool mech...

but then i crolled down to the blades..
looks really nice, but I dont think they go with the D-ZYN..

Spinefinger, I want to adopt you. You and your adopted brother Agent44 can just sit around all day and draw. I'll provide you with food and cash and monster PCs. All you have to do is keep drawing and join an occasional Tribes2 LAN game.

Keep up the great work.

spinefinger · Posted: Mon May 14, 2001 12:29 pm

here's a link to the line art for anyone who wants to color it. kinda a big file, so watch out.

jackrabbit - please do adopt me, i really need a job doing something where i get to draw. all i ask for in return are cigarettes and coffee.

synj · Posted: Mon May 14, 2001 7:12 pm

YESSSSSS

that rocks!

tanis · Posted: Tue May 15, 2001 8:22 am

Definitely a great piece of art! Cool job!
I agree with the others that it's got an Evangelish look

Joachim · Posted: Tue May 15, 2001 8:29 am

very nice work spinefinger, I don't recall seeing your name before on the forum, but I guess it's just that have been lazy. But, the robot kicks butt

::Dino:: · Posted: Tue May 15, 2001 5:31 pm

Whoa...Can't believe I missed this. Very nice work
