Hey Omi-Kun, where's the mechs and girls?

**Omi-kun** · August 14th, 2006, 06:07 PM

ok here're some girls (really badly drawn, b/c I'm in deep need of some true understanding of anatomy)

after looking through fpg's stuff, I just felt totally compelled to do a bunch of rough sketches. It feels so liberating. Too bad they all totally sucked. It's going to take a long time before I reach his level, so bare with me as I go through my awkward growing phase

edit>> hmm didn't realize I had more sketches I didn't post before... they're anatomy studies, I'm trying to learn their curvatures...

and some misc azn girls and mech

**Omi-kun** · August 16th, 2006, 01:20 AM

had a blast OCing w/ FPG, too bad got d/c in the middle of it:

and a brief doodle earlier:

oh and this too

**machzero** · August 16th, 2006, 09:08 AM

yo omi-kun,

great updates! kickarse anatomy work.

regarding your question... i'm working for relatively unknown company that deals with electronic payment solutions. Spent a good 1-2 months last year flying around the world on support, implementations, and training. But it's quietened down for me sicne there are junior guys to handle my previous duties.

**Omi-kun** · August 17th, 2006, 11:41 PM

machzero: thanks for letting me know. I wonder, what were your technical areas? If they matched job description?

small update:

**Omi-kun** · August 18th, 2006, 01:03 AM

ok, one last thing before I quit for the day. Tomorrow's packing, getting the truck's oil changed, and... hanging out with friends before the long haul to Austin!

man this thing needs to be autoleveled.

**Omi-kun** · August 18th, 2006, 04:42 PM

and... another one:

**J.Peckham** · August 18th, 2006, 04:56 PM

Nice updates. Sorry you have to come to Austin

**Omi-kun** · August 19th, 2006, 06:59 PM

lol lwhat's wrong with Austin? Actually my truck kinda broke, it's making some sort of squeling noise around the serpentine belt, one of the bearings is going out or something, so it might be a week before I actually get to go back to Austin (Austin has 1. friends, 2. ITG, 3. no cats at my place=no more allergies)

**J.Peckham** · August 19th, 2006, 07:56 PM

whats ITG? I'm from the northwest so austin is way too hot for me.

**Omi-kun** · August 21st, 2006, 12:33 AM

ITG stands for In The Groove, it's DDR made by people who got sick of DDR and wanted something challenging

**Hyptosis** · August 21st, 2006, 12:37 AM

hot stuff man, killer robot thing as well

**Omi-kun** · August 21st, 2006, 04:51 PM

thanks Hyptosis

I need to do more mechs. Consider these a warmup.

**Omi-kun** · August 21st, 2006, 05:50 PM

bleh, gota figure out how to design

**Omi-kun** · August 22nd, 2006, 12:57 AM

nother soldier dude. I swear tomorrow I'll do something more thought out...

**take²** · August 22nd, 2006, 02:27 AM

hav i said that i love the eyes and mouths of your ladys? the chinese basketballer is great!

it`s time to think bigger and create a hole scene or isn`t it?

let it rock

**Omi-kun** · August 22nd, 2006, 07:34 PM

hehe thanks take2

today's update:
yeah I should make a scene, but that's so much work, and I want it to be perfect so I would like to develop my foundation skills... but that's just a bloody excuse. Give me an idea for a scene!

**Omi-kun** · August 26th, 2006, 05:56 PM

hmm, never did post this up:

**SirGreenSock** · August 26th, 2006, 06:47 PM

Some very cool energetic sketches. I like your colours and atmosphere!

Your figures could use some more anatomy studies, but it looks like youre working on that. Keep busting out the bots, just make sure to sharpen a couple more edges to get some interesting focal areas.

**staylor** · October 13th, 2006, 07:11 PM

Pretty inspirational that you're doing all this while attending engineering school, I know how hard that is!

Nice brushstrokes, not much to crit because you seem to be practicing a lot of different stuff. Keep at it!

**Omi-kun** · August 8th, 2007, 07:40 PM

Thanks guys! Sorry for not replying but I didn't want to post anything I wasn't proud of. Well, I dunno. Anyway, I've been co-oping for HP for two months and I've had some time to warm back up. Below are some pieces for an art book for my art club in college. They're mainly for the club members and maybe whoever around campus that want them

Trying to diversify, but after the art book is done. I should be updating more from now on...

**Omi-kun** · August 9th, 2007, 12:53 AM

**loveandasandwich** · August 9th, 2007, 12:57 AM

Wow youre fast!! I really love those figures.

**Omi-kun** · September 16th, 2007, 03:21 AM

Thanks! Not really, they took me a long time.

an OC collab with a friend.

some portrait studies, sorta

I've been meaning to do clouds:

and an artjam,

**DeMoon** · September 16th, 2007, 03:30 AM

you have excellent sketches!... very pleased me as you draw girls

**Omi-kun** · September 25th, 2007, 11:50 PM

Thanks DeMoon!

And now, for something not girls:

The standard mechanized infantry of the military. It's modular connection module located behind the cockpit allows numerous attachments from extendable grapplers, manipulators, all-terrain legs, jet packs, observation modules, radar/communication/ECM/ECCM, sonar/weapon, rescue beds, experimental weapons, multi-pylons for ordnance deployment (3x rocket launchers, laser/gps/infrared/AI guided missile launcher, 20-40mm gattling cannons, 1 80-120mm cannon with twenty external ammo pack). The two box like attachments at the head of the cockpit are evasion/defense mechanism such as smoke grenades and optical flares and anti-missile defense, which can be replaced with single rocket launcher/20mm cannons or zero-range manipulators (useful for the unlikely-but-climatic hand-to-hand combat). At the head of the cockpit is a defense mechanism (still in testing) that deflects 120mm shells with a high-intensity EMF.

**Chrizimer** · October 9th, 2007, 08:51 PM

Your drawings of mecha and women is so....sexy. I think I'll put a subscription on this thread. I like modeling hot mecha. Would you mind if I model anything I like that I see on this sb?

Well, it's not so much mecha, as it is your particular style of mecha. I just like them. They aren't the gundam style. They aren't the semi-biologically shaped ones (Like metal gears from mgs2 or mgs4). They're not overly blocky like battletech mecha (which are very old-school designs, seeing how far battletech dates back). They're just right. I dunno, maybe anatomically probable while eye-pleasing at the same time are the right words.

Also, I aspire to be a game artist while I am yet a Computer Science major. Yeah, our two majors have their differences, but I know how you feel. I think I do. Stuck in one place when you'd rather be somewhere else entirely.

**Dan Valkar** · October 9th, 2007, 09:51 PM

cooooool thread man....great sketches here...rockin' style...nice design on the mechas and the girls r really good keep postin man! its an order hahahaha
