A mecha? by HowlingZero

Huh, this actually looks alright. I'd call it "original", but it's so derivative of Yanase mecha that I'd hesitate to utter the word. But anyways, I've always had this idea for a #mecha show. Like, the main character starts with something super overpowered, but gets more and more damaged throughout the show, downgrading the suit each time. So then the pilot himself has to improve to accomodate. I think it'd be an interesting spin on the genre, considering it's usually all about upgrades.

Pretty darn cool man. Strong design, very powerful and menacing - just look at them shoulders! The lighting is great too, with the lighter grays on the upper right and the way the armor prevents the light from reaching its lower left half. May I offer something of a critique/suggestion? I think it could really benefit from a background. Nothing super fancy, just an atmosphere to complement its epicness, set the mood for battle or something.

Hmmmm, as much as I love Gundam and don't shut up about it, I wouldn't necesarilly recommend it, it can be hard to get into. However, I'd say "Aldnoah.Zero" is an excellent one. It's really interesting in both stories and in how the fights are executed.

I agree completely, but this is more of a concept sketch. I'd use a background if I posed it more actively. Hm, although, maybe a hangar background would've been cool for a regular standing pose?

Dude this is rad! The idea sounds like it has potential but you need a reason why he cant get it fixed or upgraded. I do see major potential though! Amazing drawing, with an awesome premise

Well, lets say the thing is based off some kind of archaic and advanced weaponry. I was thinking of giving it beam weaponry that allows is to curbstomp everyone who are mostly equipped with solid weapons and machine guns. But it still gets slowly damaged, losing weapons and such. The armor can be replaced, but the weapons are too rare. Plus, I was thinking of this being more of a rogue, and not necessarily a military weapon.

Oh, thanks!
But allow me to give you a list of things I can't draw!
Male legs, animals, old people, children, backgrounds, realism, and in-profile angles

Heh, I can't draw kids either, or "straight-on" views (character looks straight toward artist). Or animals...

Boy, that looks agile! I like that design. I wanna do a mecha sometime soon.

I like that idea, weakening as it goes, very unique.

Now, let's see a drawing of it in action! *eagerly awaits*

I love your idea for a show. That would be an interesting take.
