Mecha Arms

Final result. First time drawing mecha. It was scary.

I was tasked with "powering up" this character for the art telephone game. Art by miapichina on instagram.

I was thinking maybe I could maybe just put her in heavy armor to start with...

But then I realised if other artists in the game were as scared of drawing mecha as I was, this was my opportunity to play a mean trick.

Thinking of mecha ideas... I didn't want it to look like she was an actual gundam. So perhaps having an exosuit would still allow me to add some mecha elements.

Trying to figure out how the exosuit might actually work. I found it hard to figure out where all the parts were supposed to go.

I finally settled on this.
