Wow, I like this design alot better than the first. He certainly has a darker appearance this time around.
When the line work is finished in a drawing, I sometimes scan it right then to see how it looks on screen. Usually I find errors than I couldn't see on paper. Maybe its because we're working at a slight angle, that things become off?

Yeah. It's felt like a gradual change over time for me because I've had about seven designs so far that I've cycled through, trying to find one I liked. I hadn't even realized the jump that resulted from only showing the first one and this one. The chest is mostly exactly where I want it... And has been since the start, but I'm getting solid shoulder-pads, and just last night, after doodling only heads for an hour, I decided on the one-eyed head.
And yeah, the angle does cause the actually rather narrow drawing to look wider, or rather, less tall, so wider in comparison.
Now I know how I'm gonna do the upper arms and upper legs (not hard, just synthetic material), but I imagine it'll take a while to get the armour the way I like it.

And now for the perfect excuse to marathon as many super robot shows as I can actually find (it is surprisingly difficult to find things like Mazinger and Getter online...)

What the hell is up with the crappy ties?
Don't hate on the ties, man.

Design is complete, unless a stroke of genius runs me over: Still need to work on getting in the habit of making the head smaller. The pose is as basic as can be, partially because I couldn't think of anything and wanted to get the design down before I lost the will, and because I'm going to use this for testing colours. And I only did the dark/line shading so it would look better when scanned... Any actual shading is just lost on this piece of crap scanner.

...And I guess to explain the mech, it's piloted by two people: Fritter the Black, and Flutter the White. Dormant state of the robot is as a briefcase with a suspiciously face-esque design on it.
The stripes/tron-lines it has all over it glow different colours to denote different... Things. Dunno yet. As for weapons... It can micro-vibrate its palms for hand-to-hand combat. Its rib-like things wrapping around the synthetic torso can extend and stab short distances. The tops of its hips open up, revealing small missiles. It's not obvious from the drawing (because I didn't draw it hur durf), but those blades on his cuffs? There are two of those on each wrist, really close and parallel to each other; scythe-like blades come out of there. And finally, in spite of how short the tie appears to be, it can be drawn out and used as a rather large sword.
I had been contemplating giving it the ability to pull weapons out of portable portals, but with all these, that seems unnecessary... But I really want to use the Wide Spectrum Gun and the Chainsaw Fists... And don't know how to incorporate those into his design.

WELL THAT **** WITH THE MECHS DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE of course. So, today, after like two weeks, I decided, "I am going to draw something, because I feel like doing so. I will put all of my effort into whatever I select, and it will be a very good drawing by my standards". But I could not. Draw. Anything. I spent like half an hour just wasting paper on things I could not draw for some reason, thinking about things I didn't feel like drawing, and then beginning to rage. So, in the end, I finally got something down on paper. Here it is. I don't know why I drew this.

It's representative of your own mind being frustrated with how slow it is acting today

Of course.
Though by the time I finished drawing it, I was tempted to mount a rocket engine on its shell, but the lines were too dark to erase so I scrapped that idea.

I am in love with it. Do you have a desktop size?
