[MS-18E Kampfer]

War In The Pocket is so short! Hurry up and see how it ends!

The Kampfer was so great. I built a 1/100 Master Grade of it, and its one of my favorite designs. 0080 War in the Pocket was filled with great MS designs, from the Hygogg, the GM Command, Mass Produced Guncannon, GM Sniper II, Gelgoog Jaeger, and even the Gundam Alex was an amazing improvement over the Grandpa Gundam.

I'd love to see you tackle more mobile suits from the universal century! There are so many to choose from- I recommend going similar to the Kampfer, the graceful and underrepresented Gerbera Tetra.

RedusTheRiotAct responds:

Thanks! You’ll definitely see more from me. I’ll get around to finishing WitP. It just takes a while since I don’t watch shows in one sitting. Plus I’m still working on the OG Gundam. Over half way through

[Phobotech]

I will cherish this always. I've never once owned a jacket like this, but I'm happy that you could detect that I've always wanted a jacket like that. And now I know I must get one so that life may imitate art.

ZetoSoul responds:

I remember you liked flying, so I gave you a flight jacket. When you get one, please rock it!

[Gone fishin']

Really skillful work all around, I'm in love with all of your decisions here. Gotta follow you for more!

Any detail ideas that you wanted to implement here, but scrapped for time or efficiency? Where did the setting of this piece come from, was it inspired by a song or dream? A photograph, or scene from a memory?

GRIS9 responds:

Thanks! I generally paint landscapes when I want to relax, so I let my instincts guide me so I can create a piece where I can feel calm and happy. Many times I get stressed with commissions and other types of work, so sometimes I use landscapes as an artistic escape, where I paint where I would like to be at that very moment ^^.

[The Internet is Cool]

You have such a realized style, I recognized it was you right from the thumbnail.

The colors are super appealing, I love the exaggerated proportions, it all looks really good!

How did you find your signature style? Did you have a process where you honed it down like "these guys are gonna have *these* traits" (like I get a 60s-70s Animation / Jim Henson vibe somehow, or something from that era.) Or is it simply reflexive; you've always drawn them this way?

Do you use Clipstudio Pro?

I love your work, man. Never stop. First discovered you through the Smash Bros collab and fell in love with your artstyle soonafter.

TheEvaluh responds:

Aw thank you so much, that means a lot. I think my "style" has just been defined by what I grew up with and how I see things in my head, it just kind of comes out that way. I use SAI mostly

[comic [3/3] something different]

Oh I like you. This is extremely fun and good and I need to follow you where I can get the latest on whatever it is you're creating these days.

zattdott responds:

thanks man! im uploading stuff on instagram now at https://www.instagram.com/zattdott/

[REPORT!]

Fucking awesome!

Chromonaut responds:

Thanks!

[JD character sheet]

I love her expressiveness! Far left is a fav, but I would like to see more exaggerated expressions, like Murder-pissed, Adorableness, Shock/Terror, Biiig Laughter, that kinda stuff. More action poses could be cool too! How does she run and jump? Does she dance? What's her body-language quirkiness? When she's tense, when she's relaxed. She has a strong design and color pallet and I wanna see what you can do with her!

Wildblur responds:

In the near future if I have time to learn animation hopefully

[Metah v3]

Love the underlighting and her hinges! Hydraulics look great, and the scattered papers do well for the implied sound scape.

Only way to scrub that rust off is to do more, so strike the iron while it's hot and keep going! It doesn't have to be a one-and-done. She could get continuations and modifications. She could be grinding on pipes to get to others!

MindChamber responds:

Very true, I'll try my best to keep going, thanks!

[Theres a Dog]

I love them all. Third tank from left is best tank, but I appreciate the lil Tank Police / Metal Slug / Sherman doing his best. The dog is the goodest boye

Design question: What is the function or purpose of the metal cuff at the bottom of the front tread of the largest tank?

The only reason a tread would need to reach that high, (note: almost twice the height of a utility truck) would be if it needed to conquer sizably high terrain.
My immediate concern for the design is it exponentially increases the risk of a tread shot from the front, disabling a tank that is too large and heavy to tow.

The metal cuff seems to invalidate or contradict the very ww1 strategy to have such high reaching frontal tread sets. No surface gripped in that area will continue past the cuff, and it looks like it conforms around the shape of that bottom hinge, so its not like a surface that can be retracted or swiveled aside.

I suggest something like a bulldozer scraper that can be lifted up beneath the turret to allow manueverability. I'm assuming its an armor point to help against mines or something.

DieMango responds:

Hehehe. Covers where put there for mine protection. Also high threads just so it looks cool tbh XD

Maybe it climbs and crushing enemy strongholds.

PUT IT *thump*

SHIRT! *thump*

I love it! Diamond is my favorite shape, I love the color pairing of cream and purple, she's a babe, the bats are great, and you're a continued inspiration.

Keep going! You've really been revving on all cylinders lately, so don't slow that momentum!

Sabtastic responds:

!! What a pleasant, hyped-up review! You are too kind!
I'll spruce it up a tad and throw it up on my Redbubble for ya soon. Cheers!

I'll try to keep that momentum going too. Helps that I've got a bunch of big conventions coming up -- gotta make new content!
