MMM - Week 3

Here we go. This week I focused on Swan's room and some rare props & design.

Being not that familiar with gothic fashion and giant robots, I had to look for some ref this time.
The gothic outfit and the mecha might be not so original, but still, they are slightly different from my inspiration material.

Designing a giant robot is a big challenge! Try to make it believable, without ripping off Gundam, Macross, Transformers or Appleseed... It's actually kinda tough.
I saw some very original robot design, but they often look too fragile or not well balanced.

Something I learnt doing these sketches : it's easier to do mecha design from thumbnails than from full page sketches. A big scale sketch won't make the mecha look bigger. It's all about proportions.
