The Vernier: mech concepts

So far, so good. Here’s some of the preliminary roughs Darwin drew up for Strachan and Milton’s mech. There’s a lot more to come on its finalizing stages, we should see a solid design come out pretty soon.

Here the following images will also have a little bit of Darwin’s commentary:

———————————————–

THUMBNAIL STAGE:

“The one concern I had designing this mech was that it needed to remain consistent with the design philosophy I created for the Rotogin lightweight division. These robots had to look compact, highly mobile, and be ready to inflict major damage. In terms of aesthetics, I decided to utilize a look similar to the ‘Carnage’ mech that appeared in issue 1. This thumbnail stage explores various visual and potential mechanical concepts that can be further developed. It really is quite messy.”

S+M character concepts

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Strachan (left) and Milton (right)!

[I just noticed the S+M bit not too long ago LOL, apparently Darwin didn't realize it until I told him hehe.]

Siris character concepts

SIRIS “THE SPIDER LADY” MUNROE:

Above is the original Siris character design J.Korim [penciller] drew up for the Rotogin comic.

Operation Phoenix is a go!

In order to understand what Operation Phoenix is about, one must understand what Rotogin is about. If you’re familiar with the title, you can skip the next paragraph and read the one near the bottom ;).

Otherwise…
