a real gundamさんのイラストまとめ

one thing about the Okawara Strike design that no one cares about anymore is the big flat shovel feet. back in the day this weird shape was all over the place, like on the cheap 1/144 kit, or the Advanced MSIA, or the Quick Gundam Model

it's interesting to see what traits from the actual animation Bandai chooses to emphasize on Robot Damashii "ver A.N.I.M.E." figures. on Strike Gundam, points of focus include contours of the legs, and the chonkiness of the shoulders... but not so much the HUGE skirt armor.

love this particular type of guy. this color, with this kind of face

I always forget whose signature this is! Out's August 1981 poster was by Mitsuki Nakamura, Okawara's business partner, who, like Okawara, worked on TONS of anime

speaking of old magazines with Christina Mackenzie in them, here's a cute illustration from the June 2006 issue of Newtype, which I apparently scanned10 or 15 years ago and only ever posted once. https://t.co/rYBJ2w5Uq0

@icyballsack @thescrotch it is indeed from AOZ Reboot: https://t.co/ejk7RPWK4V
while it is a successor to the Jamru Fin, which the text says was meant to be Big Zam-sized but got trimmed down, the Zamuru actually is that big. per this diagram, if Woundwort is 18m, then Zamuru is just about 60m tall
