Is there any realistic UC Gundam/Gundam-style fan-art out there that isn't total schlock?

This are hilariously shit
The idea of a realistic mecha is silly, not because of mecha but because the people who strive for realism lack creativity.
They're going for an aesthetic rather than function. Style that looks like function in a sense, but in truth fails at both. It's why Titanfall's designs are so atrocious.
Look at how artists in the 50s envisioned the 2000s and then compare it to reality. At first you might think the 50s sci fi artists were more imaginative, then you realize even something like the now humble F22 would have been impossible for them to imagine. That the rovers on Mars are beyond what they thought of.
Realism, in that sense, is trying to apply the now to the future when the future has made advances you can't even think of.

The Gundam looks real bad, but I kinda like that Zaku. It's pretty stylish in an odd way.
>>14832868
realistic gundam, the Type 61 tank will have no problem destroy a zaku. giant mech are very expensive, very heavy on maintenance, very easy target
>>14832868
The anime designs are already as "realistic" as you get, they just need to be recolored. Real world military vehicles are designed to have large, continuous surfaces and relatively simple geometry. Kibbles and bits bullshit that American "artists" like to propose are the antithesis of realism.
>>14832868
I can't really tell what I'm looking at but it's still really intriguing.
Artist has some other unique concepts https://www.artstation.com/artist/inkashu

Awful.

Zeonic Front is very realistic in this regard. You die from one - two hits from Type-61 or helicopter.
>>14832868
The criteria of the content your looking for is incredibly unclear and probably retarded, but I'm pretty partial to artwork of MS going through maintenance in a hanger/base.
>>14832873
>>14832876
Fucking garbage.
>>14833007
Very well put.
But seriously, fuck realismfags. They put out some fucking greeble tacticool shit and then say it's supposed to be better than everything else because of some dumb physics or fuckin' nonsense like that. We're talking about giant ass robots and these shits talk about realism. Fucking please.

Are you looking for painterly realism, lots of mechanical detail or mechs dressing like OPERATORS?
>>14833773
>>14833774
fucking ultrarealismfags and your overdesigned greeble shit
>>14832868
realistic char
literally
>>14833007
I think some artists pull it off rather well.
I forgot the name of this guy,but he designed and also wrote iirc, an adaption of Mobile suit Gundam called "For the barrel".
Now obviously I won't argue that mecha can be realistic at all, but I think the aesthetic is pretty interesting and for a while can be a tiny bit believable if you just suspend all knowledge of science for a period of time.

>You die from one - two hits from Type-61 or helicopter.
3 actually, but it can be dodged easily due to their low rate of fire and clank as fuck. granted mobile suit aren't suppose to be tanky but to be very damn agile. Its a spaceplanes with legs anyway.
The one who can outright blast you is Gendubs.

Most enemy MS and gun turrets can destroy in one hit from the back, unless its a Beam Spray Gun. Nobody is sure if that even does damage.
>>14835086
Beam spray guns can actually hurt, sometimes...
But really? Gun turrets need atleast 2 shot on the back to actually scrap my MS as my gameplay goes....
But maybe that just because i don't get critted and being shoted in the back that often.
>>14834768
Those designs look like they belong in Ideon.
I don't really know what this thread is about.
>>14834768
I'd like to see more MS in this style

>>14835580
that's actually just fanart of the actual For The Barrel, but it is fairly close to the style used there;

Scale of the people in this one is hilariously fucking off.
They need to be like twice as large as they are to be roughly accurate.
I guess it's a bad art thread though, so bravo.
>>14835633
>Gundam by CLAMP
But honestly those designs have a bit of charm to them, I think it's the alien proportions
>>14836170
You are objectively wrong. Everything posted so far has shown a good example of drawing 3 dimensional objects with appropriate shading and light. Forget about scale, it could've been intentional to make the Dom huge.
Feel free to post your own masterpieces, maestro. I'd love to see what you consider to be 'good.'
