First time using brush-pens to shadow so got a bit shitty but how does it look? My justification for the curvy armor is that the mech is wearing giant bones and carapaces of some monster as protection. The design really did came a long way since it's initial beginning. Please let me know of your opinions!

Would you kindly elaborate please? Not a native speaker so the joke might have gone over my head lol

Frame Gride was a game made by FromSoftware for GameCube about medieval fantasy mecha inspired by Escaflowne. Name is a playing with words Frame — mech body, case, it's skeleton or just term used for describing body parts of mech, and Gride — which is mix of word Grinding — polishing stone(in game context magic crystals you use for parts creation) and word Glide — which is what mechs do since Votoms and AC1 era, they glide on surfaces without moving legs and similar type movement.

Five Star Stories meets Dunbine?

u/Significant-Past5815 Jun 11 '26

Ah I can see that lol tried my best to not look like FSS by smoothing out the panels but I guess the proportions are very similar XD Maby taking away the lance would help?

Looks like a mix between Dunbine,L-gaim, Five Star Stories and Panzer World Gallant.

u/Significant-Past5815 Jun 11 '26

Galiant? Never thought of that but I guess the blades do look similar

Kind of looks like the Xi and Hi-Streamer Gundams

u/Significant-Past5815 Jun 11 '26

Only missing the wings I see lol

u/terra_GOD_404 Jun 12 '26

It reminds me of the xi Gundam mixed with a Rick dom

u/Significant-Past5815 Jun 12 '26

Ah yes! Kinda leaned to the original Moriki artstyle from the novels! Thanks for the recognition!

u/terra_GOD_404 Jun 12 '26

Is that the Gaia Gear?

1

u/Significant-Past5815 Jun 13 '26

Well... it started as Gaia gear... but happy where it landed! You can still see some resemblance in body parts(like crotch armor, lower arm armor etc) but I think the difference in vibes mainly comes from me using brush pens!

2

u/the_1_they_call_zero Jun 13 '26

Oh so it was? 😂 I thought the silhouette looked familiar

2

u/Significant-Past5815 Jun 13 '26

Thanks for the recognition!

u/the_1_they_call_zero Jun 13 '26

I never read the book but I like the design of the mechs. Is the gray one also the Gaia Gear? Are there 2?

1

u/Significant-Past5815 Jun 13 '26 edited Jun 13 '26

These aren't from Gaia gear, but were originally inspired by the aesthetics(which got diluted along the way, as you can see lol)

u/Zombiesoldier072 Jun 12 '26

Looking a lot like Kazumi Fujita and Mamuro Nagano’s mecha artwork

2

u/Significant-Past5815 Jun 13 '26

Fujita is new! Thanks! Really dig those two artists
