Hi! This is my first post to conceptart.org. Got recommended to this site by a colleague, and I must say that this place is great. Hmm... I just hope this image loads properly...

Comments are appreciated

ZOE all the way! Too bad it's on lined paper. Very nice shading, though

**Aerythes** · April 1st, 2004, 05:21 AM

Thanks for your comments! It's on lined paper because I sketched it on my notebook (that is meant for taking notes, not doodling...). Long boring meetings tend to force me to doodle while pretending to listen...

Here's another sketch on lined paper. This has no shading because it's drawn using pen.

I like the last one! The cleaner lines work better for these kinds of "construction" drawings, the first one feels a little more blurred and hard to read whereas the last one is instantly recognisable. Will you color these?

**Aerythes** · April 1st, 2004, 06:28 AM

I'm afraid not, kapturowski. Those damned notebook lines prevented me from coloring them.

i could color the new one u posted....but it will take me a while since i got a whole lot of other stuff to color!

I love both of these mechs. Very detailed. I love the effort you put into them. looks great.

**Aerythes** · April 1st, 2004, 11:05 PM

Bradart> Thanks for your comments!

MuffinMan> Your coloring will be much appreciated

But I also agree that there're so many artwork here that's just waiting for gorgeous colors... if only I can paint...

Another mecha. This was meant as a design for a game, but was not used in the end because mecha combat was taken out of the game play. :mad:

**Bradart** · April 2nd, 2004, 06:31 PM

Sweet. this one is more elegant and "flowy". Feels like one of the mechs from pilate candidate.I love your mechs. you should put up a mecha drawing tutorial, so people like me can do it.

**flavorite** · April 3rd, 2004, 04:15 AM

the first two are cool.... but way too messy.

the last one however, totally kicks ass.

**Aerythes** · April 5th, 2004, 01:10 PM

Bradart > Thanks! Hmm, I don't think I can put up a tutorial on this, because I don't usually draw them systematically. It's more like putting down onto paper some ideas in the head, ...hardly tutorial material.

flavorite > Thank you, but she can't kick asses; look mom, no legs!

Here's one mecha that's more organic and "evil"-looking. I wanted something that gives the appearance of being able to kill in two slices.

**Abbobaf** · April 5th, 2004, 01:30 PM

These are all awesome. When I try to draw mechs like these they don't come out so good...Mine end up looking far more bulky...and more like monsters than people...I'ld be glad to share...

I personally like the evil one best...but where's it's other leg?...kinda hard to make out...

**slab** · April 5th, 2004, 06:12 PM

Wow, those mechs are really really awesome. I have a mech posted up on this board too. It's over at this link (mech sketch). Please take a look at it and give me any advice or comments if you have time. I'm still learning to draw and color, so any advice would be soo cool. Thanks man. Your mechs rock!!!

**Aerythes** · April 5th, 2004, 11:26 PM

Abbobaf > When I draw this, I have this vague image in my head of its pose, to depict something very speedy and deadly. (I was inspired by the idea of a praying mantis, but I wanted to make it more or less humanoid.) So I just sketch it out roughly, without any concern over it's anatomy.

But you're right, the legs are ...bad... ^_^;

Slab > Thanks! I'll hop over to take a look.
