Wings of Freedom

Well here u go! STRIKE FREEDOM GUNDAM

Too be honest i don't really like how the new freedom, i prefer the old freedom better.

Originally intended as a poster for sale for the local comic fiesta, in the end it never did, so it went into the artbook instead. We did pretty well for the sales but we over-print the amount of artbook [link]

I'm pretty happy how the Strike Freedom came out, i took the extra effort to do the Wings disengaging into attack formation, when i was working the line art i sorta crossed my finger will it ever work and the result was very much rewarding, i also did something extra by painting polish gold effect on the joins and servos(the original color is matalic gold). The hardest part of the whole artwork goes to the 'Wings of Light' and the space BG it took me a few attempt to get it right. well it was a big improvement for myself since my last gundam artwork [link]

This is for my 80k page view and my 80 devation. enjoy!
