Really happy with how it is coming along. The mask is what I am using for inspiration on the head.




So I have gathered up a bunch of reference images, mostly of Samurai armor and Akuma masks, and I am diving in on the Akuma full speed. I am hoping to make this one seem more “modern” as a design and have the devil mask on the cockpit while the body resembles a stylized Samurai armor.

I meant to have this up yesterday, but it turns out I have bronchitis and the doctor put me on Prednisone and some other decongestant that knocked me out cold. Which was good because Sunday I got maybe three hours of sleep from coughing so much. So, here’s the choices based on suggestions from the […]
Hey everyone! Still trying to figure out the Sabutai. It’s the weapon mounts that are messing me over. A UAC20 on the wing is just a massive piece of equipment and I am trying to figure out how to make it look like it belongs there. So, while I plug away on that I am […]
