New newsletter: how I hunted for the shape of a cool robot, starting from a single central eye. Silhouette first, bolts never. https://riodan.substack.com/ #comicart #mechdesign #robotdesign
Title slide with the text "Mech design: silhouette first, bolts never", the title of Dario D'Angelo's newsletter. Drawing of a robot design with the quote "I was after something more drone-like." Drawing of a mech design with the quote "The only thing really worth spending most of your time on is the silhouette." Drawing of a robot character design with the quote "As I went on, the head flattened out and sank into the body."

Mech sketches where the solid blacks do the heavy lifting and the line stays rough on purpose. Spiral on the chest, claw hands, a head that's basically one big black helmet. #mechdesign
Black and white ink concept sheet with rows of stylized robots and mechs, some standing front-on, others tilted or in motion, drawn with bold lines and large solid black areas. Black and white ink sketch: a dark, compact spiky creature on the left and a bipedal robot with a big arm cannon on the right, leaning forward and firing left, with radiating lines for the flash. Black and white ink sketch of a mechanical figure with a squared torso made of angular panels, a large left arm hanging down and jointed legs, standing on a few horizontal ground lines. Black and white ink sketch of a mechanical humanoid in three-quarter view, with a big dark helmet-like head, squared shoulders, a pincer-shaped left hand hanging down and circular joints on the legs.

Getting the mechanical details right on this quadruped walker.

Kept the environment muted and dusty to highlight the worn metal textures of the chassis.

Drill mech concepts in Copic on Bleedproof paper. Start with light grays (C1-C3), build up shadows, black fills last. College-era Feng Zhu worship when seventeen articulation points seemed reasonable.

Searching for the perfect design! ✨ Did a quick sketch dump trying to figure out the main character's fighter jet.

Mech character concept I recently designed ⚙️
Exploring high-mobility combat design, heavy arm cannons, and a readable silhouette in a harsh environment.

Feedback and thoughts from other artists are always welcome.

Fresh off the assembly line:
The RCAP-G x TaiKat Robotics collaboration. 🛠️
Latest specs include magnetic propulsion and retractable arms. This was such a fun piece to create for an art trade!

think I farmed a bit of mech mojo design with this one, a bit of a simpler robot but kinda like this design :)

Sketches @ breakfast: Fueling up with mech designs this morning. Used my fountain pen for this. What do you think of these chunky concepts? #Dieselpunk #MechDesign #Robot #Sketchbook #BreakfastArt #ConceptArt #IndustrialDesign
A sketchbook page filled with pen sketches of blocky, angular mech designs in a dieselpunk style. The mechs feature visible mechanical details and industrial elements.

Not every mech is a skyscraper… 😈🤖⚙️
Some wars are fought with insect-scale pocket mechs, painted like grimdark minis and battling across a 6x4 table like it’s the end of the world.

Would you rather pilot a titan… or command an army of tiny killers? 👀🔥

3Dモデルをトレース。機械系を０から描く方尊敬。後は画風に合うかどうか…
Tracing a 3D model as practice.
Respect to those who draw mechanical designs entirely from scratch.
Still figuring out if this fits my style

A spider robot with a human face. There's also a guy visible through a window in its abdomen, but it's hard to see because I didn't draw it very well

Quick warm-up sketch of a Noise Tank from JSR. That era of game art and char design still inspires me to this day.
Looking to transition into concept or game art professionally. this kind of stylized energy is where I thrive.

#JetSetRadio #NoiseTanks #gameart #conceptartist #artwarmup #mechdesign
A pencil sketch of a Noise Tank from Jet Set Radio. The character is mid-action, with exaggerated, angular robotic limbs extended in a dynamic pose. One hand is reaching toward the viewer while the other holds a device. The character’s round goggles and helmet spikes are iconic. Speed lines and stylized Japanese katakana effects in the background give a sense of fast motion. The caption “Art Warmup Wednesday 5/21/25” is handwritten on the right.
