Exo-Force Revamps

Continuing my streak of mechs, here are three Exo-Force revamps: the Iron Condor, the Blade Titan, and the Sky Guardian.

Exo-Force, for those unfamiliar, was a toyline created by Lego based on mecha anime.  Four pilots - Hikaru, Takeshi, Ryo, and Ha-Ya-To - fought against an army of robots led by Meca One.  It ran for three years, produced an absurd amount of sets, a comic series, and ridiculous brightly-colored anime hair for your minifigs.  While I've never been able to get into anime, mecha or otherwise, I did love Exo-Force, ludicrous hair pieces and all.

(I always thought the hair bore an uncanny resemblance to pufferfish and sea urchins, but that's just me)

Drome Mechs


I was in the mood for mechs a while ago (hence the Sky Guardian sketch among other things) and decided to build these.  They're based off of Lego's old Drome Racers line, specifically the Maverick Sprinter and the H.O.T. Arrow.

What if the racers, tired of the same old tracks under the same old tires, decided to rebuild their cars into mechs?  And race those mechs across the landscape in parkour challenges?

Sketch Dump

Around finals week I decided to try improving my drawing by doing at least one sketch a day.  Given the timing of my attempt, I got nowhere fast with that goal.  However, since classes have ended, I've started drawing again - not a sketch a day, but I do something about every week.
