Here are a few pictures of "giant robot vehicles" that I've drawn, and some "meka" miniatures I've painted. More recently, I've tended to drift toward a preference for "power armor" rather than giant robots in science fiction, and those meka that I do draw tend to exist within a more "fantasy-tech" context.

Sentinel #2 A Sentinel painted up in urban camouflage, with an angel carrying the "Steel Legion" stylized lightning bolt portrayed on the flag. (Part of commission for Brian Zahra.) (1 Nov 2001)

Sentinel #1 A Sentinel painted up in urban camouflage. The flag has a "winged skull" as the emblem, mirroring the "winged skull" embossed design on the mek's cockpit door. (Part of commission for Brian Zahra.) (1 Nov 2001)

Dethmek Concept sketch for a skeletal-looking melee-specialist robot vehicle, armed with an armor-piercing pick. Pencil on scratch paper. (27 Oct 2000)

Ogre A hodge-podge, "piece o' this, piece o' that" ungainly close combat meka. Pencil and brushpen on sketchpad. (22 Sep 2000)

---

White Knight #1 Yet another close-combat oriented "knight" type meka. Pencil and brushpen on sketchpad. (22 Sep 2000)

---

Cockpit Concept #1 An attempt at designing a "control cage" style cockpit for a meka. Pencil and ink on sketchpad. (22 Sep 2000)

---

Blue/White Knight Concept sketch of a "knightly" meka, with a lame attempt at something approximating a background (some trees for scale). Colored pencil on sketchpad. (21 Sep 2000)

Red Knight Concept sketch of a "knightly" meka. That's supposed to be the cockpit hatch, there in the middle of the chest. And, yeah, that heraldry and decor is just asking to get knocked off in a fight, but what fun is a meka if you can't decorate it? ;D Colored pencil on sketchpad. (21 Sep 2000)

Magus, Jester and Cavalier Concept sketches of "fantasy" meka, done in ink and pencil on sketchbook paper. (20 Sep 2000)

---

Gureii Ookami The name is supposed to mean "grey wolf", minus proper grammar. I used to spell it "Okami", but that means "landlady" or "mistress", according to my Japanese dictionary. Like, whoops! (1994)

---

Champion Mecha This was one of a few meka designs I did for one of my many poorly conceived comic project ideas that I never actually did anything with. (1993)

Blitz Mecha Originally, this was a proposed design for some meka for some "alternate Earth" RPG where the Germans won World War II. The style of the meka wasn't quite what they had in mind, and I'm not even sure that anything came of the game, either. Not much of the design makes sense, but FYI, the "bullet head" shape is supposed to be able to close down over the "eye", to provide better protection at the expense of visibility. This is one of the first meka designs I can recall giving just two fingers and a thumb to -- My reasoning was mostly that they'd be sufficient for grabbing things, and a meka shouldn't be doing fine manipulation anyway ... but also that it could allow the pilot to use his other two fingers to flip switches and such, rather than operating the robot's fingers. (1993)

Three Mecha Three different meka designs, originally done for the purpose of showing to a fellow who went by the handle of "Nitrocoon", for a comic project of the same name. None of the designs suited his fancy, and I failed to be able to produce the sort of quality he was looking for, so I never ended up doing anything with this. Ah, the story of my life! (1993)
