Hikaru84 Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) Hi there guys, I just finished an illustration of Rook. I want to make a series of Mospeada illustrations of these kind, I love Mospeada and there is not much to see, isn't it? These Rook illustration is a part of a bigger illustration. I am working on Scott next and some cyclones. I think I shared some years ago one of my Cyclone drawings, I'll share them again here. Rod Edited March 28, 2016 by Hikaru84 Quote
EXO Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Awesome! They look like they jumped straight out of the anime! Quote
seti88 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 thanks you for the mospeada love! always loved the characters and mecha ...always remembered drooling over the cyclone tech sketches when young... Quote
jenius Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 I've definitely seen the bike on the left before and the one on the right seems familiar also. Have you altered them somehow? Quote
GU-11 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 The Rook illustration is gorgeous! The art style is spot-on! Looking forward to seeing more! Quote
Hikaru84 Posted March 20, 2016 Author Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) Hi guys, thanks for your words! As Seti88 said: "always remembered drooling over the cyclone tech sketches when young..." Well I still do! I love Cyclones. And yes Jenius, those Cyclone illustrations are classical ones. But they are always small prints or low resolution scans. Even in the art books they are very small pics. So, based on the original drawings, I re drew them big enough to make a high-reso illustration. I even corrected some perspective issues, especially on the wheels and added some extra detail here and there, but not too much, as I wanted to keep the feeling of the original works. I am right now doing the same for a Cyclone sketch that appeared in the OUT84 magazine. It is the coolest Cyclone sketch I have seen! Showing all the gears and mechanisms inside. I just wanted to have it in color. So I am just starting to ink the drawing, here goes a pic of the sketch I am talking about. As you can see, the wheels need some perspective correction, but most of the prespective issues of the bike itself are corrected now. I now have to ink it and correct the wheels on Photoshop, it is a lot easier that way. Bests: Rod Edited March 20, 2016 by Hikaru84 Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) I've never seen that sketch. Thanks for sharing it. Looking foward to your corrected illustration. Edited March 20, 2016 by Ignacio Ocamica Quote
Hikaru84 Posted March 20, 2016 Author Posted March 20, 2016 Here is a fix of the sketch from out 84. I cleaned it a little bit and joined both pages as best as I could. enjoy Quote
derex3592 Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 awesome work here! Keep it up! More Mospeada love! Quote
505thAirborne Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 The world needs more Mospeada and Ride-Armor illustrations!! Quote
JetJockey Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Nice Rook drawing. I don't know how I missed this topic. Quote
Hikaru84 Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 Yeah! I uploaded that one some years ago, on a Mospeada line art thread. Back then I had not finished with the paint job. Now it is finshed. I will upload the final version later OK? That Rand Cyclone and Rook are part of a bigger New Generation illustration I am working on. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 The world needs more Mospeada and Ride-Armor illustrations!! And the Legioss. Quote
EXO Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Yeah! I uploaded that one some years ago, on a Mospeada line art thread. Back then I had not finished with the paint job. Now it is finshed.

Hikaru84 Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Ok, here it is: It took me ages to have time to finish these illustrations, the Rook and two of the Cyclone drawings are part of a bigger New Generation illustration I am planning. I hope to finish the rest of the drawings I need to finish it soon. I have another Rook illustration looking really hot on her Mospeda. But it still needs some touches here and there. I need to draw a Grab Invid now, those mechas are so cool. It is a shame there is no good toy of the Invid designs. The best ones I have seen are some resin kits produced by really talented members of this forum, well, back to work! Edited March 26, 2016 by Hikaru84 Quote
505thAirborne Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 And the Legioss. That goes without saying! Quote
EXO Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 Gorgeous images fellas. As much as I would love to take credit, these are all OP's stuff, except for the original Mospeada references. Quote
Hikaru84 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) Thanks a lot for the nice comments guys. And yes, a cool Alpha or Legioss illustration would rock. I have been illustratin aircraft for a while now, but I have only done real aircraft, here is an F-16 from the Chilean Airforce I illustrated back on 2010, before I started pouring all my time into Star Wars studio scale resin models: It took me whole month to finish ti, I think I spent a week and a half just on the drawing. Special the cockpit. A Varitech Alpha illustration of this caliber would be really nice, but it would take me ages now a days. Edited March 28, 2016 by Hikaru84 Quote
GU-11 Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Nice! You've got some serious art talent, Hikaru! Quote
Hikaru84 Posted March 29, 2016 Author Posted March 29, 2016 Thanks guys! Well, that is my profession, I studied fine arts, although my taste has always being heavily inclined to comic and sci-fi more than fine arts. But here in Chile, back when I was younger there was nothing else you could study if you wanted to learn how to draw professionally. But I learned lots of stuff that helped me find my own artistic way. For the last 6 years I have being more into making resin models now, what has taken all of my time and have never again drawn a serious aircraft illustration again. If you want to see more of my stuff or my models you can visit my web site: http://www.nexus-models.com/ Back to Mospeada, it would be cool to make a serious Legioss illustration, like the F-16 above. But I need to get a Legioss model first. I like to build a model and then take several pics looking for a cool angle. I haven’t got one because all of them are just so ugly, I do not know why they keep making the same transformation error every time they produce a kit or a toy! The mistake is with the huge legs, and it is so easy to repair. I agree that the Mospeada line art shows two possible leg positions, but it is obvious that the transformation position that even the Masterpiece Alphas selected is the wrong one. Here is what I mean: As you can see, the legs in the second transformation method allow for the robot’s foot not to be protruding away from the end of the aircraft so awfully as most of the Legioss toys do. Also, you can see how the Beta is supposed to be attached to the Alpha while the white sections of the leg are separated from each other. Plus, even though the official line art depicts mostly the wrong leg position, the frames of the animation mostly portray the correct position: What do you think? Quote
JetJockey Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 I would like to get a correct toy and see you draw it one day. Quote
captain america Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 Nice work, Hikaru. It's nice to see that people are keeping this old, obscure Anime alive! Quote
TangledThorns Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 I can only draw stick figures Makes me appreciate real artists more though! Quote
M'Kyuun Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 Nice work, Hikaru84. I envy people with talent. Â Quote
no3Ljm Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 This is a cool Mospeada thread. Love the artworks.   And yes, I also envy people who draw like this.  Quote
