Since looking at the intricacies of the old Gundam design, I've wanted to try doing my own take on it. I got overzealous with the torso and Core Fighter, though.

RX-78-2 GUNDAM: NOW AND THEN

I really love the classic look of the Gundam, so I wanted to understand all its differences compared to the modern interpretation of the RX-78-2. And there's no better way to learn something well than to teach others!

#gundam #mobilesuitgundam #rx-78-2
a digital illustrated poster comparing the original and modern designs for the rx-78-2 gundam. on the left there are illustrations of the modern look and another drawing sporting lots of markings and decals, as well as extruded vents on the chest. on the right, there is an illustration of the retro-style gundam, and a closeup of the head. the following text is what fills the space around the illustrations: MARKINGS - There is no "one true design" for the Gundam, and the various designs for decals on model kits or paintings of the RX-78-2 show this well. NOSE - While the original design of the head is variable in its design (especially around the faceplate, which could either have a flat top or a jagged top), a good amount of the illustrations show that the red section under the eyes was intended to be in the shape of a nose and upper cheeks. This is similar to other giant robots of the era, like Mazinger Z or Zambot 3. VENTS - Some depictions of the RX-78-2 have extruded yellow frames around the chest vents instead of vents directly inset in the chest. While this is a design trait that the later RX-178 Gundam Mk-II has featured since its first appearance, the RX-78-2 wouldn't be depicted with them until its first Master Grade model kit in 1995. Now, this look is part of the variable design "canon", and appears on some iterations of the RX-78-2 like the Ver. Ka or the Gundam: The Origin design. YELLOW V-FIN/ANTENNA - The RX-78-2 is occasionally depicted with the crest on its head in yellow instead of white, especially in early merchandise of the show. This may have been because early giant robot toys used softer, rubbery material for pointy design elements, and that material only came in a yellow color. On the RX-78-2, this yellow coloration is also used in the Gundam: The Origin manga, alongside a green camera at the top of the head and eyes that often glow pink. (alt text continued in next post)

I think Gundam jeans could look really good. And everybody remembers Denim, the Zaku pilot from episode 1, right?

#gundam #amuro
A digital illustration in the style of two magazine ads. on the left is Amuro Ray wearing RX-78-2 Gundam-style jeans, with text saying "from Tem Ray's new line PROJECT VICTORY. Get ready for a new type of jeans". On the right is Denim, in casual wear, modelling Zaku II jeans. Beside him is text that says "Zeon Jeans make Denim look good."

one of my all time fav comic pages courtesy of Masako Yashiro (Keep This a Secret From the Laughing Kookaburra)
from Keep This a Secret From the Laughing Kookaburra. "Your book's been released. Here's a copy. - Your publisher" Followed by a series of panels of a young girl peeking into a book and slamming it shut, embarrassed, throwing it and nervously picking it back up and flipping through it again. Someone else tries to pick it up and she yelps and grabs it and runs home laughing and blushing, where she cradles it under her covers at night, still smiling, still red in the face

🧵There's a combination of the right setting and state of mind Ron is in, leading to art and writing opportunities that take advantage of the unique circumstances Concrete finds himself in. Scale and the compression of scenes into panels are played with to consistently interesting affect.

I love a lot of the bygone styles for Sonic. From those pupils alone you can tell I always wanted one of the Toy Island Adventure-era figures. #sonic #sonicthehedgehog

The Moon by George Akiyama is an incredible Giant Robot comic and well worth a read, very short too.

Really haunted by this Margot Ferrick page I saw earlier, it's got the lurid uncanny sheen of a Hajime Sorayama piece but instead of eroticism it just exudes desperation and grief

Char Aznable's New Look
#gundam #charaznable
a comic entitled "Char Aznable's New Look". There's an illustration of Char Aznable in his original Mobile Suit Gundam uniform, except with flesh-tone legs. Next is a panel of him getting a newtype flash with text inside reading "...Is Commander Aznable not wearing pants??" The next panel has Char saying "These are not my bare legs", followed by an illustration of him grabbing tights on his leg and pulling, saying "I'm wearing tights."
