Hi all! It's been so long since I've been able to post work that I've done!
These concept artworks were done in late 2008 for the game Front Mission Evolved. Front Mission is a cult-classic mecha franchise by Square Enix that inspired my love for robots when I was a youngster. It was an insane privilege for IFS and myself to have been able to contribute to it.

Image info:
This one took the longest time, total of 3 days IIRC. Combination of 3D base and photo textures. Lots of painting and personal ideas for this one, so I hope you enjoy it. It is my favourite of the lot.

-Skan Srisuwan for his wonderful Wanzer redesigns.
-Verawat Verasunthorn who translated Skan's designs into 3D models, over which a number were used as 'bases' for me to paint over in these artworks to maintain accuracy and as a time saver.
-With Skan's permission, I'd taken design liberties with some of his designs, throwing in my own ideas and flavour to the mix; hopefully providing an extra layer of 'grounded-ness' or grittiness that I felt resonated with the spirit of Front Mission.

I actually prefer it over Votoms even though it was inspired by it.

See... I love pics like this... Behind the battles and explosions there is real work that need to be done before you can go out and have those battles.... great work!
or in this case.. the calm during the storm, haha!
indeed, work DURING the explosions! ;-p

Awesome job!
Just utterly amazing, I can feel the air in this chamber it's that realistic . Brilliant brilliant work
thank you kindly!
You're welcome (-;
Wow, gives the nice impression of a mech hangar bay. Nice attention to detail and architectural elements. Great use of imagination and colors being limited to just a few. I like your sense of scale and proportion, as if the drawing was done at eye-level. Provides just enough visual perspective to give a sense of what and where this is at.
Fantastic!
thank you!
Omg! I'm always back to your gallery to see this and just now I realize I didn't fav it.... this mistake in corrected now sir. +
See ya!
See ya!

No, just a controlled palette cheers!
cheers!
What's that pervy mechanic doing on the right side...
Jokes aside
You've inspired me to try to make something different on my next piece, thank you.
