Confound That Blue Boy!
Artist's Comments
This was done for the Secret Santa Art Exchange on the Legends Station Forums. The prompt I received was "Confound That Blue Boy!" I had a lot of trouble with this prompt, finding a good balance between concept, medium, and feasibility, but I'm pretty pleased with where things ended up. For a stylistic shake up, I normally tend to go with vivid colors so this time I focused on setting a mood with a more drab and somber tone. Not as ambitious as my usual shake ups, but oh well. The pose is, of course, referenced directly out of MML1, because it's just so perfect for the scenario and emotion. I initially considered putting in more mecha from MML2, but I started with MML1 and ran out of room and time to include even the lesser mecha I wanted to like Zuuf Gelede and Horunisse, and even Draches and Leopordo barely got scraps in the foreground.
