Description A special MBA that can conduct massive amounts of electricity similar to a lighting rod and can shoot it full force to an enemy to destroy the target completely. The Blue Storm has a special quality to leave blue streaks when it flies in the skies.
Pilot: Marlena Flores

Last one for ~megasxlrfan . I really tried to improve the same style of shading I used in Sky Razor but I guess I went a little overboard with the legs. I really am not good with reflective surfaces so, I just did random bright stuff for the visor. The design is based on [link] .

Thank you. Somehow I guess I am, but it depends really. Sometimes I'd get sloppy just wanting to get things done but I get a little too serious once I got hooked up with the work.

I think I subconsciously based that on another mech called Nematau, though I can't find it on dA anymore. I forgot who drew it either.

an air unit? that's cool!
quite nice mecha-version of the original...

Xperimental00 In reply to eyetypher [2011-06-20 09:50:13 +0000 UTC]

Yep it's an air unit, and humanoid at that. I tried my best to be faithful to the original, though I really can't convince myself to give it the bird wings lol. Thanks.

eyetypher In reply to Xperimental00 [2011-06-20 09:54:22 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, bird wings for real-type mech are hard to imagine. Beside I like this kind of wings, it gives more real-type feels. Keep up, dood!

Xperimental00 In reply to eyetypher [2011-06-20 10:03:28 +0000 UTC]

But Katoki-sama's Wing Zero has bird wings! XD Anyway I decided to give it conventional wings because of Angel Arms' quite present-day setting. And thanks again.

eyetypher In reply to Xperimental00 [2011-06-20 10:19:03 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, and it's really hard to draw for me even now, Katoki-sensei did it very well.
you're welcome!

Xperimental00 In reply to eyetypher [2011-06-20 10:31:55 +0000 UTC]

The first time I saw it, I thought Katoki-sama went for organic wings; until I realized it's a bunch of binders at Wing Zero Custom's back. I agree it's pretty hard to draw something similar. I never went beyond Freedom-style wings.

eyetypher In reply to Xperimental00 [2011-06-20 10:47:10 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, and those binders makes it real-type mech.
And I just realized that I haven't submit any original winged mech until now..lol
Actually I made one but I haven't coloured it yet..

*I'm not ing this doesn't mean I don't like it, I just don't want you to thank me all the time I ed your work..

That reminds me, I believe this is my first winged humanoid submission. I seriously restrain myself from doing those since I used to believe anything with legs belong to the ground.

Lol, I guess I'm getting pretty automatic on responding to faves.

Haha.. Flying units still needs legs while landing landing, just like Aires from Wing Gundam.. And also Lion from SRW series which its legs isn't used to walk or run..

Well, they won't need to land if they're in outer space anyway..

Xperimental00 In reply to eyetypher [2011-06-20 11:20:44 +0000 UTC]

You got a point there. Legs can always work well with VTOL mechs.

Ahh, Lions...

yes, they're...
*just googled and find vtol=vertical take-off and landing...

what's it? you liked Lion series?

Xperimental00 In reply to eyetypher [2011-06-20 11:39:53 +0000 UTC]

Yeah but wheels are always better if you go for conventional planes. XD

I loved them Lions. I really wanted one the first time I saw them at SRW OG, plus they're just so hard to hit! Sigh, do they sell model kits of those?

eyetypher In reply to Xperimental00 [2011-06-20 11:48:42 +0000 UTC]

I likes them too.
Especially for the standard Lion and GuarLion.
I saw some models of Guarlion.
I wonder if there is any models of standard Lion though.

Xperimental00 In reply to eyetypher [2011-06-20 12:17:36 +0000 UTC]

I can't find a standard Lion model in my searches. I really will get one when I can hoard enough money. XD
