Since the art threads aren't lasting too long recently, how about a thread for any and all sorts of original content? Fanfics, art, idea guy posts, everything's welcome here. >pic related is a Yokoyama-inspired robot with essentially no lore
>>23899927Oh, if you insist, OP. I had a multi-generational mecha epic that I started "planning" (daydreaming about) in high school, conceived of as either an animated or game series. I'll dig up some art later, but the basic synopsis (with the music I associated with it):Overarching: Invoke (TM Revolution)>Gen 1: a native from a primitive planet accidentally activates an ancient draconoid "Xygguraut" mech and is recruited into a massive war that pits his society's space-faring cousins against a fearsome enemy: humanity.O2 (Orange Range)Meteor (TM Revolution)>Gen 2: the human/furry peace is shattered by an attack by a third civilization. Abandoned in his first battle, A'ern Ktrin is saved by a passing junk collector, only to be thrust back into the conflict upon the discovery and activation of another legendary Xygguraut.DDR{B4U (all versions) (intros)Drop The Bomb (all versions) (invasion)Senorita Speedy Mix (LI's theme)Daikenkai (boss)era nostalmix (secret boss)}Dimrain47{A Question of Fate (battle theme 1)Revolutions (battle theme 2)}the WORLD (Nightmare)>Gen 3: The entire cluster is threatened by the arrival of an utterly alien hivemind. A caravan of ships from all of the previous civilizations desperately search for a safe haven, protected by an elite squadron of Xygguraut pilots.1998 (intro 1)D2R (intro 2)Suna no Tsuki (ending)>Gen F: In the near future, the inhabitants of Earth discover their extrasterrestrial origins, inadvertently triggering the return of an ancient enemy. The protagonist, a product of genetic experimentation to resurrect an archaic species, is caught up in the invasion, saved by a mysterious mech. Inside is a waif, held in stasis for who-knows-how-long. Together, they'll find a way [beyond the bounds] of their fate.Sorry, I never get to talk about this shit. It's an unabashed pastiche, so I keep it close to my heart but realize that it's not really worth developing. Fresh from '05.
>>23900049Also posted these a while back.
>>23899927The style is really charming.
>>23900049>picking the music never once in all of my years of making up funny little guys and stories have i ever thought to do that. you're a neat guy, anon>>23900066thank you i drew this guy as well but this was really pushing how much detail i wanted to add
>>23900176I find music to be excellent for concept development because it directly connects to one's emotions. If there's resonance between your concepts and the emotions you want, any imagery they inspire will also tend to be emotionally resonant. So, you just listen and let the images and ideas come. It's a bit like lucid dreaming (a lot of good ideas come from dreams).
>>23899927A super sentai team where each member is from different tokusatsu, with a theme of combining different dimensions. The team would be an alien, time traveler, cyborg, magic girl, and ninja. The combined mech would be made from the teams different elements, there would also be 3 team figuration based around the leader. These 3 teams would be inspired by different mecha genres and change the teams personalities becoming alternate dimensions of themselves. The sixth team member would have a summoning watch used to call a kaiju, giant robot, and alien super hero
>>23901193why does this sound familiar?
>>23901198Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger. The 45th Super Sentai team was made of robots based off previous sentai that would become giant mechs. They had a left/right combinations. Funny enough I didn't know about the show when I thought of the idea, it would probably scratch my itch. All I knew about it was the dancing transformation.
>>23901211a crossover sentai would be a fun idea, zenkaiger didn't really push it far enough since all of the kikainoids were from the same universe. give me a red dino lead, blue car secondary, and yellow ninja as the core team and they all only begrudgingly work together at first
>>23901238My vision is heroes at the end of their journeys are entangled into a new one. Then entanglement has granted them new and unfamiliar powers. As they get used to it the team would unlock their full potential giving them super forms, with forms of their pasts and secondary colors. Red is Ultra/Gridman inspired and like Gridman he would make up the core of the mecha, secondary colors would be silver.Blue the technical time traveler with a Thunderbirds inspired time machine. Secondary colors would be gold.Green or Black is the Kamen Rider who at the last moment turned the evil organization super weapon against them. The secondary color is black or green giving of the form of an iridescent beetle.Pink or White is the magic girl who summons the full powered version of her flying familiar, I'm thinking something bird like. Second form would include magic dress elements added to her suit.Yellow is the yokai slaying ninja with tools made from sealed yokai. The would be a batmobile like vehicle that could launch tools with an animal yokai sealed in it, maybe a rabbit. Second form would add black ninja elements to the suit.With giant Red as the core the combined mecha would have Yellow as the legs, Green as the arms. Blue as helmet shoulders and back. Pink would finish it off as chest and abdomen. Each part would probably have moves, like yellow would a missile attack as legs.For the 3 man teams there would be Getter, Disaster Rescue Valkyrie, Cloak mech with Dagger bits, Knight with shield that turns into bow for a finisher, Storm Dragon Samurai, and a Blazing Phoenix Fighter.The 6th member's mecha would be made of a fusion of a Godzilla/Gamera like kaiju, a Tetsujin 28/ Giant Robo, and a Superman superhero/Brave. It would have a heroic theme of body, mind, and soul.
