Gerbera X Tiger


"Gerbera X Tiger"
(Gundam Astray Red Frame Kai from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray VS.)

Using my Master Grade kit as a reference, I did this piece with the intention on truly showcasing the samurai-esque aspect of the Astray RF - My favorite Gundam, period. This was also my first piece done solely digitally, using no lineart or sketchings. It's not a method I'm fond of, however, as this one took me well over a month to finish...
The "Lowe" and kai symbols were actually scanned from the model kit's decal sheet, with minimal clean up, and placed in the background.
