Description it doesnt come very often that i enjoy developing mech design. 9 out of 10, i dont find no pleasure working on robots, but something strange happened, and i just had blast on couple of these robot concepts.

initially, when you start something with small intention like GEISHA, it works out better than you can hope for and it began to evolve as you control the pixels on it.

MONK, you see here is also a part of heaven's guardians, but much more premitive compare to geisha's capability. but its simple mechanism allows the deities to mass produced this particular unit.
those warriors on the front line, fullback on your foot ball team, or the muscle for the heavenly mob.

intention was be more typical, as far as mechanism and joint structure is concerned, but i tried once again to approach the uniqueness of it, however i came to a sad conclusion that you can only be so creative with humanoid mech designs. either you can be extremely creative and make a rediculously original bots, which will most likely look funny, or have the reminiscence of robots/human figures that you are familiar with and have viewers differenciate it from whats already been done.

Concept of monk is based on Buddist sprituality, and it should suggest shaolin monk esque appearance, but the halo you see over its head suggest more of christianity. thats because when some serious shit goes down and hell come arise, you gotta put everything together that stands for "good" in this world.


excuse me guys, let me put away my mecha-geek glasses now.

i think i about had it with doing bots, and move on to sexy babe again. preferably sexy, naked babes.

done over 2 to 3 nights, (feels like i spent more time on this than Geisha, although, i didnt) using only PSCS.

Concept of geisha, monk, created for TSM, LIMBUS, ORIGIN (c) HOON mess studio.com

Yay! I'd love to see more mecha design on DA. I'm still a big fan of big, massive mechs (I'm watching Z Gundam at the moment), but of course these slender types are totally hip since Evangelion and the Federation Droid army from the last Star Wars trilogy (saw Revenge of the Sith yesterday).
I liked Geisha, but this one is also great. It has a lot of original details, like the lights in the joints and extremities (one in his toes seem to be broken!), the bead necklace, the more animal shaped legs, the halo and the electrical discharge in the shoulders.
The transparent torso makes it look a bit vulnerable though (and there's someone piloting it, isn't it?).
Anywayz great job on the texture and the atmospherical perspective. FAVE!

Its in nice change from your usual work, but it will indeed be nice to see more sexy babes again o(>_<o. Definitely like the more earthly tones, and the Buddist aspect is an interesting flavor. *claps claps*

Excellent interpretation-conversion to mecha of symbolic figures... You should continue with sarariman xD

AWW! This is kick ass, I didn't like the last one, but this one a 100 % cool. Mecha are aweosme. I love the lighting and the color of the Mecha, I don't like the fact that the hands kind of fade out, but I'm sure you ment to do that. I also like the little touch with the alien thing in the venter og the mecha. But the ways the arms are holding up... i don't know if that will fold up in combat or not, but they look cool.

Ok, let's start....
I really like it, is like you said... a very original design.. that may turn out to be slightly funny (Im assuming you didn't intend it to be). However, I do have some critiques.. which you should take as "What auramante would do with this pic" ...and not what you should do. For example the little dusty blur on his right foot.... don't know why it bugs me; I would take it out and leave it like the other foot. The floor is weird , I figured is one of those ..steel floors made to avoid sliping and such? ..I would however add more shadow under his feet.. his whole body shadow... to gave it a strong base.
And 2 last details: ...the light on his hips should reflect more under his arms (that if they all are in the same depth, which I cant really tell) . Then there's his necklace.. which looks a little flat... like you pasted in on him.... maybe its lacking some little shading below it.
Ok, that's it.. like I said, a great pic... amazingly rendered... is it all made in photoshop? (I don't know what PSCS is) and Im still trying to figure what the little thing inside him is -peer-

The values and lighting made this look like a toy in the thumb. Very nice - I like the colors and the electrical current in the shoulders. SWEET!

In all seriousness.... you've got great vision and are an inspiration to "old hobby artists" like myself. I enjoy, and look forward to, you posts.

I'll second ... er, "third" ... that. I thought this was completely CG when I looked at it the first time. That really speaks volumes about your talent as an artist.

What else can I say? DAMN that is cool.

Actually, it still looks 3 dimensional, full size.
