Simple Mecha Draw-Paint Tutby *Foxi-5

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Illustrations / Conceptual

Howdy all, 'cause I was off work yesterday, I was reallllllly bored having to lay around. So I thought I'd show peeps how I get a simple mechy thing drawn.

Anyhow, it's a tiny show and tell. But, there ain't much to it. I guess there's a lot more conceptual stuff that can be done, and layering techniques, and painting and roughing and so on. But hey, that'll probably need a books worth.

For now, if this helps anyone, great! If not. Oh well. I'm still learning myself, so if anyone's got tips, share em round.

::::::::::Special Note::::::::::::::::::::
(Hey, can people let me know, are these things worth doing? IE: Does it actually help anybody? If so, please say, or let me know what you are having trouble with, then I can probably do another one with that in mind. Also I may do a ' Parts rotation' for going from 2d to 3d bit next time... Anyone interested in that??)

Chowsies all.

Y'know, this design reminds me most of a Warhammer/Battlemaster fusion: [link] + [link]

friend o mine says its the Nova Cat Alternate 6, is he right?

*Foxi-5 May 26, 2012

Nope, I dont even know what a Nova Cat is? I make and design all my mechs from scratch.

ah, well that makes two of us that don't know what it is

if its not to much trouble could you do tut on mech swords?
thanks this was extremely helpful

*Foxi-5 May 24, 2012

Mech swords... That's something that I'd probably leave out. Bludgeoning weapons however..

Must say, I don't really like mechs with swords.. They never seemed all that practical, as tough metal armour would be extremely difficult to slice, no matter how sharp the blade.. Cant get my mind away from that fact...

~ralkon May 24, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

thats why you don't sharpen the blades think about it. while an extremely sharp weapon will cut better then a dull one, it will also weaken and deteriorate after then a dull sword, and if you're talking about mech sword the technological level of the era is most likely able to support a thin saw-like edge that radiates electricity as it move, therefore becoming a much more effective weapon... sorry if that sounds a little nerdy, but hey i've always loved swords, and would you be able to make a tut on lighter, faster mechs? i don't really like the usually bulky style the have

thanks for the respond though

good luck with anything you may be working on at the moment

I've actually drawn a new version of a light mech, but I can't display it here sadly. Looks quite quick! More resembling the Eva types. I think the Evangelion types are most suitable for fast mechs.

Nah, swords I can't really see that happening with mechs.

Try the bunker-buster approach; even if 'Laser blades' or 'vibrating saw-blades' don't work, few things can stand up to a solid enough spike of reinforced heavy metal the size of a small school bus being rammed into a target by your mech's momentum and/or pneumatic/explosive-powered thrust.

In the Armored Core series of mech games, they had examples of both laser blades and these 'physical' or 'parrying' blades, and used them well.

Worth looking into, I assure you.
