I found this forum doing a search for Fujita Kazumi after a conversation with Genocidalpenguin, who I see also has hopped aboard here


This machine is one of the very first concepts I did for the project, a more aero-frame design with a wide shoulder profile. It's a lot differnet form the current designs I've been crafting and the aesthetics have evoled into a more organic look but I still dig how this one turned out. I plan to do a reworking of it eventually.


This machine is one of the latest and more current from the project. It's full CG, no pencil guide sketch. I prefer this method now because it allows me to "sculpt" my designs virtually like they were 3D.
This one’s an odd looking yet elegant machine and if you’re looking for symmetry, you’re not going to find it here. The company that makes this FOIL, Lavess Soso, is a specialized team of artisans (some slightly mad) who design their FOILs as one of a kind units exotic walking sculpture, no mass produced body types here. The inspiration or notion of this design’s aesthetics is the art movement Futurism, a style of painting closely associated with Cubism (I have a cubist FOIL in the works too). Futurism was about the idea of industry, applying the notion of movement to a static image. No this FOIL isn’t pure Futurism, it’s more a suggestion of because the future setting has a fractured sense of history. The Armor looks as if it was sculpted, like clay, well that’s because it is a form of super hard ceramic. The chipping shows light tan underneath due to the ceramics, if this FOIL had a metal armor you’d see something more metal in color of course. Lavess Soso FOILs are renowned for their aesthetic boldness.
Overall I prefer the non cammo version because this version the cammo is too effective at doing its job, breaking up the lines. I do dig the look of the cammo too though and I have an idea of the FOILs having a chameleon style surface color that could generate cammo patterns, not a therm-optic as it’s been done so much, something more retro in execution instead keeping with the WWII look. The sweeping curves and angles are what makes this machine unique looking and without camouflage it’s more clearly defined.
Feel free to hop on my Deviant gallery as I’ve been keeping the postings there pretty current. The most recent posting being the CG colors I did for genocidalpenguin’s fab Zidharta design. Take care everyone, I’m happy to drop in and contribute.
