We don’t often see mecha like this one by Ryuhei Kawai (kwi-chang). It has a large chunky flavor, and barely a smooth surface in sight. The various bristles all seem to have a purpose (grenade launchers, radar, ammo, etc.) and it manages to work. The addition of pistons on the back of the legs, as well as vents on back, add to a purposeful, frontal assault only, look.

With six people it was unlikely we’d all be so busy at once but we’ve managed to hit a temporary point where all of us are struggling to blog due to real life.
Don’t worry, once things settle down we’ll be back.
Alex Schranz uses transparent colors to create a 3D graffiti display of his signature “PAX.” He uses a black light to give the pieces a fluorescent glow, resembling something from another dimension.
