_________________________

one of the most F***ing tedius work...

inspired by Air - Alone in Kyoto song :) simply surreal.. puts me in that Patlabor mode LOL T_T

PS CS, many hours and no ref... For my HL2 mod Hull Breach (i will release the new webbie soon!)

This Mobile Weapons platform and a Trade Alliance pilot poses for a shot near New Kyoto's Harbour. (they are lifted and retouched from my character/mechanical concept sheets)

Anyway.. im too tired to say much more.. i hope everyone likes it. I think i was successful in the ambient tones.

Ukita, you never cease to amaze me with your talent! The coloring is awesome, like always, and the lighting on everything, even the helmet vizor, is blowing me away! Awesome job!

Slick mech art...a plain comment I know but I hardly get the chance to comment on many of your works, don't ask why :-I but this one speaks to me the most...particularly the soldier holding the helmet; that seems to be the best touch. I love his helmet he's holding as well. Good stuff, guy.

hey man :)

what strikes me about this piece is the detail and the crispness which is sometimes lacking in ur work. I cannot stress how much better this is!

I love all ur work bud, but this is sooo far improved from anything else its awesome. keep it up bud :clap:
