/co/ creation /m/ thread
>>
>>22944014
I appreciate the simplicity of it. The unnecessary multiplication of lines is a serious problem in contemporary mechanical design. Makes every "Gundam" look nearly indistinguishable.
>>
>>22944014
I don't want to sound racist but man I really hate the way white people draw mecha. They're always so ugly and goofy looking.
>>
>>22944136
They are vastly superior to the generic japanese angular design however
>>
>>22944136
How do you feel about mock-Kaiju Zeon aquatic mobile suits?
>>
>>22944158
No they look retarded. I'd rather take a generic Gundam over the shit honkies crap out
>>
>>22944174
You seem reasonable.
>>
>>22944191
This is 4chan. In real life I'd probably say something more like 'I just prefer the complexity of angular designs but western designs are cool too haha' even though I absolutely do not mean it
>>
>>22944014
Looks gay as hell and like it's gonna be another Voltron
>>
>>22944198
Why should we consider sheer geometrical complexity a virtue in mechanical design? In writing functionless ornamentation that obscures the information or impression to be communicated is considered something to excise in the process of revision.
>>
>>22944014
>blue girl
>simple but decent robit
Yeah, alright.
>>
>>22944014
The hell is their cheeks?
>>
>>22944305
Perhaps they're trying to infiltrate the Greater Clown Imperium.
>>
>>22944014
It looks like absolute shit.
I expect this gay garbage from Tumblr, but not from this forum.
>>
>>22944373
Forum? What forum?
>>
>>22944376
Do you know what is an internet forum right?
>>
>>22944014
Alot of Western mecha designs feel too 'tropey' for lack of a better word, like they don't go all the way with their concepts so some of the designs just feel like slammed together parts of the few mecha shows they did watch.
The mecha is fine I guess, could be better. The head's atleast kind of cute.
>>
>>22944382
The point is that this place isn't the reactionary monoculture you think it is. "This forum thinks this," "this forum does this"...no, actually, fuck you! What forum?
>>
>>22944396
Anon WTF are you talking about?
4chan is an internet forum
>>
>>22944400
That you think this just shows how little your opinion matters.
>>
>>22944400
I'm not literally disputing that. I'm disputing the attempt to say that there is some kind of 4chan monoculture, such that you can identify the "4chan perspective" or "4chan sensibility" on any issue. /m/ is /m/, /a/ is /a/, /v/ is /v/, /pol/ is /pol/. Visceral hatred of all things vaguely Tumblr because of GamerGate trauma is not something to expect of "4chan" generally. We call people who struggle with that /v/irgins or /pol/tards
>>
>>22944404
Are you high?
>>
Nasty little GNUish princess.
>>
>>22944407
Feel free to criticize as much as you like once we've actually seen anything from it. "It looks gay" or "this is from California" aren't actual criticisms, just obnoxious alien board culture
>>22944410
What is this shit
Go back
>>
>>22944406
Ok, you are half right.
But you have shown that you're a newfag.
People in all sub forums have hated Tumblr way before Gamergate.
>>
>>22944414
Also it looks gay is real criticism
>>
>>22944415
No, you don't get to call people new while demonstrating your own ignorance.
>>
>>22944415
Not in this obnoxious culture war reactionary fashion
>>
>>22944417
Anon you are a newfag.
>>22944418
Fuck off and take this type of bullshit to /pol/ or /news/
>>
>>22944425
"this is gay and Tumblr and Calfornia bad scary look at their cheeks we don't abide this here on conservative web forum 4channel!" shit belongs on /pol/
not the posts pointing out how goofy it is
>>
MYSTERY NIGGA

>>22944014
>the strong & heroic cast member is an ambiguously androgynous gender-monster
>token white nerd paired with token black girl; forced interracial message
>stolen Dick Gumshoe design, but brown just because
Holy shit, this couldn't represent the absolute state of western media any more even if it were a parody.
>>
>>22944523
yes, you're being oppressed by paid shills on the mecha board anon
fucking ridiculous lol
>>
>>22944534
>paid shills
See, that's where you're wrong.
>>
>>22944014
It looks only slightly more tumblr than gwitch lmao. Why cant /co/ just make Megas again?
>>
>>22944552
IIRC they tried like multiple times.
>>
>>22944566
Huh, never heard of that, it looks absolutely rad. Looks like the same people behind Gorillaz' animation, right?
>>
>>22944576
No, character designer was influenced by him, though.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Valley
It's the same guy who did Tron: Uprising and the intro/trailer animations for Beatles: Rock Band. 99% sure he did the designs for that GHII commercial too.

>>
>>22944576
>>22944589
Apparently Pete Candeland was involved with production on both Gorillaz music videos and B:RB stuff, though. So, degrees of association. Jamie Hewlett is the og Gorillaz guy.
>>
>>22944589
>>22944592
You're both wrong, >>22944576 is correct. Valley animated on early Gorillaz videos.

>>22944014
I actually like the robot. The character designs came straight out of Dumblr and that's a hard pass.

If you're going to do this you should at least start with a good /co/ and /m/ design.
>>
>>22944660
The only reason this show was popular was because of the stupid fat ass lead, which 90% of /m/ could identify with. "Finally we got representation, let's make it out to be some great show!"
Shit story, shittier mech designs and the shittiest characters ever! Shove this show back up your fat ass where it belongs!
>>
>>22945504
I'm about as far from a 6'4" 500 pound cis blond white dude as is possible without having a vagina and I liked Megas. It was funny and the action was great. MTV without the cynicism and WWE without the coonery. And giant robots (I heard people dig them).
>>
>tumblr thread
>the tumblr people show up
>>
>>22945504
No, that's not correct. Pushing this idiotic trolling on a different show isn't going to make it more correct than the last time.
>>
>>22945856
I know, right? Don't they know that before posting on /m/ you're required by internet law to pledge allegiance to Matt Jarbo and Donald Trump?
