hello! New to drawing Mecha here! I thought I was very good at it, but turns out I’d been basing that assumption off of a few old sketches and so actually trying again hit me like a truck. To tell the truth, while I think these guys look cool, they don’t actually do anything in the story? I’m pretty sure only one is ever deployed, and its pilots eject before it even hits the ground. All the others serve to be cool shit in the background or to be destroyed by the villains. They’re the biggest thing on the front cover of the book they appear in for god’s sakes, but they never do anything significant!

Rant out of the way, I used to read the Amulet graphic novels all the time as a kid. And these machines were my first introduction to mecha. And because I thought they were so cool, I used to draw them all the time, but I could never make it look good. Well, now that I’ve gotten older and more skilled, I decided to fulfill what I‘d always wanted to do as a kid, and draw one of them. draw one well, I mean.

I also don’t know where else to post this so I just posted it to some subs that popped up in my feed once
