Alright FINALLY it's done and here's to hoping I put it in the right category too
This thing took me so long to get done! Well if you count that I had a change of ideas about halfway through my previous work.
This is my entry for the February MGC, and I hope this is cool, I mean technically I guess you could say that this is anime, but hey, anime are cartoons too! lol
So for those that don't know this is Duo Maxwell from Gundam Wing AC umm gone Gargoyle for this months contest! I was gonna toss a couple of my garg characters into the Avatar world, but then I had a feeling it'd be a popular idea, and after seeing *shinga's entry yeah I had a change of mind. But it works because I LOVED Gundam Wing back when it was on back before Adult Swim took over late night Cartoon Network, and well I still do
And for those who are Gundam Wing savvy you'll know that this is his outfit from Endless Waltz, since I figured his priest's collar wouldn't show up with the beak and the pose he's in, and because I liked the black and red combo of this outfit.
Of course, Duo was my fav of the five Gundam Pilots, and he has a beak now for two reasons: 1) I SUCK big time at drawing people, especially when on a deadline, so yeah he's not a humanoid Garg for that one reason, and 2) he just struck me as the type that would have a beak if he was a Garg, so eh good enough for me
It was kinda fun figuring out what to do with him too, design wise, but man it took me around two weeks to get this done! Mainly because of school work and real life (raking leaves this past weekend) getting in the way and sapping most of my energy.
Anyway, I'm happy with him, had to do some MAJOR touching up in MSPaint through, since the red of his wings liked to bleed onto the white on his wings -_- should have tried my new Copic Alcohol paper, that'd have been fun! Especially since I'm happy with his overall pose and anatomy.
Well I hope ya'll like him as much as I do, now off to get him submitted to the MGC!
Duo was my favourite out of the Gundam cast. He also had a sense of humour unlike the rest of the cast. Then again I watched the dub so I don't know if Heero and the rest were either stoic or "War is terrible! /emo" or "I must put aside rational thinking and destroy my enemy at all costs!" archtypes.
haha yeah I liked Duo for that reason as well, he just seemed, I don't know, perhaps a little deeper than the others. What with his prankster/comic relief type kind of exterior, but then you KNOW he's got to have some depressed or darker feelings deep down inside, I mean who wouldn't with what he went through as a kid? He's awesome though, makes me want to go back and watch the series again I MUST finish collecting the entire thing! OH Birthday idea!
