My first of 5 pics I'm doing for Dream Pod 9 (www.dp9.com). This is the Exo-Armor 'Korikaze' of the Jovain chronicles gaming lineup. This was a little difficult to work with considering this is my first time using someone else's style, & shading technique and I'm only recently playing around with perspective as well as more exciting poses. DP9 is very specific about their art. I like the mech though the lack of reference material made this a very complicated design to recreate. Though aside from that, I'm very pleased with how this turned out.

*Edit #1
I should have mentioned earlier that a grain effect was added at the last stage to give the illusion that the image is a screen capture from video. As a result the image looks lower quality but this is roughly how DP9 prefers their mecha pics to look considering how into anime they seem to be. I may have used to harsh a grain but ultimately this is how I had invisioned it so I am quite pleased with the turn out.

*Edit #2
After finding referance material for the correct colours, I've fixed & updated the image as well as reduced the grain by a fair amount. Since this is a first time with this style, I think I'll try and leave it as is now and improve on future pics in this style. My original coloured version with fixed grain as well can be found here, [link]

So this is the man who made the pic for the Korikaze. Well done, sir.

From 7 years ago. Would have been nice if more had continued with this. I like your artwork, it would have been great to see you do more for DP9. Too bad all their rpgs are more or less dead.

Very nice work here though. I do like the grain effect you settled on. I'm sure in the last 7+ years though you've moved way beyond this point though.

nothing wrong with that. I made this uber badass. but the big let down is... is he's strongly based on an existing design.

even if the design isn't yours. you made one hell of an exicution.

Thank you : ) I'll take credit for the colouring, shading and pose but sadly the design isn't mine : /

Another sweet mech design! I love the light sword... you did a good job making it really glow. Plus the robot looks quite dynamic and ready to cause some chaos... ah, how I love cool looking giant robots! :D

Thank you very much ^__^ I'm glad you're using it. I have to say I was worried about this pic but with some of the comments I've been getting, I think I might get the job
