WriterofReapers Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) I was struck by the urge to build yesterday (for the first time in a looong while), and the result is this. Its name comes from the white tiles on its right arm and wings that supposedly say "Dragon God", and, of course, its coloration.For only my second time making a mecha, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.Comments and criticism are very much welcome, so don't be shy! http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/054/4/a/pale_dragon_god_mecha_by_ckmcaspiringauthor-d4qrop7.jpghttp://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/054/8/9/pale_dragon_god_mecha__wings_folded__by_ckmcaspiringauthor-d4qrpqi.jpghttp://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/054/7/e/pale_dragon_god_mecha_rear_view_by_ckmcaspiringauthor-d4qrsta.jpghttp://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/054/5/b/pale_dragon_god_mecha_cockpit_by_ckmcaspiringauthor-d4qrpwa.jpghttp://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/054/0/0/pale_dragon_god_mecha_cockpit_closeup_by_ckmcaspiringauthor-d4qrsg7.jpghttp://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/054/6/e/pale_dragon_god_mecha_left_side_by_ckmcaspiringauthor-d4qrspq.jpghttp://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/054/3/9/pale_dragon_god_mecha_right_side_by_ckmcaspiringauthor-d4qrsw6.jpghttp://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/054/b/c/pale_dragon_god_mecha_eye_by_ckmcaspiringauthor-d4qrt1q.jpghttp://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/054/4/6/pale_dragon_god_mecha_angled_view_by_ckmcaspiringauthor-d4qrt3x.jpg Edited March 2, 2012 by McSmeag The pictures were all like "look at my MASSIVE filesize!" and I was like NOPE not impressed, not dating you Quote ◇ Lacertus ◇ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devorath Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 LOL @McSmeag Anyway really cool. I don't like the blue round piece. One-eyed MOCs and sets have a tendancy to look bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WriterofReapers Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Ah, I love it when the staff is creative when they edit posts. :lol:Thanks, but I couldn't really think of any other way for the pilot to see what was going on. If I did two eyes, it could give the impression of having a face on its chest, and no eyes just might not have worked. Although I personally like the eye, I appreciate your feedback.

The Mugbearer Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Very nice Mecha. It reminds me of Lost Planet. =) I really like wings and cockpit.

WriterofReapers Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 Thanks! The cockpit took me a while to figure out, and originally I wanted it to be a bit roomier. However, I'm rather happy with how it turned out (especially the fact that the model doesn't have to be taken apart to open it... although that probably should just go without saying... ).

Meiko Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Wow. That is a really nice mecha for starters, and a good design overall. I love how you got the angles by using 45° 4x4 plates. The colors are nice, and build is just incredible. Wonderful job!

WriterofReapers Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Yeah, the body uses a lot of angled pieces in the hope that it will help give it an almost organic look. I really wanted to avoid the "core" of the mecha being bulky, so I put quite a bit of effort into giving it a sort of sleek look.Not that I completely succeeded, mind you...
