Is there a list or a site with mecha design vocabulary, ones that describes proportions, colours, and surface detail.

e.g. stocky, sleek, sharp, curved, monochrome, contrasting etc.

Or just design vocabulary in general.

This site details the TSFs from Muv-Luv.

You'll learn all of that vocabulary if you just study art to whatever degree. It isn't exclusive to mechs.

Even then, just lurk here for a bit. You'll pick some up through osmosis, and then you can espouse them without knowing what they mean like everybody else here.

At least it looks like GL. Have you seen the SRC?

bitch please

(also yes the riobot's not in there cause it also has weird proportions so I put off getting it)
>>
>>15200605
Now that's a collection! It's cool to see someone with that TTGL statue.

How much did the Perfect Change run you?

a true /m/an

>>15201033
Looks like about 40,000 yen (~$400)? I had to use a proxy and bid on japanese yahoo auctions. It showed up in the US ebay once at like $1000+.

>>15201038
Of course. Gurren Laganns allowed only.
>>
>>15201275
That's around what I paid for mine as well, also on YJA.
>>
>>15201359
But are you hyped for the Perfect Change Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann? (Or has it been cancelled)

I just noticed that's the E2046 version of TTGL. How does it look?

No clue, never opened most of these. I don't really know what E2046 is, but it seems like a smaller version of the Volks TTGL (pic-related). Unfortunately, that one seems impossible to get (though I did manage to pick up a broken one for cheap, not shown in original picture)
>>
>>15201368
Oh, unbelievably. On top of being a huge fan of Studio HalfEye, I'm also a huge fan of Chouginga.

I think it's on hold currently since they're working on a new Escaflowne.
>>
>>15201407
Oh good, I wasn't sure what had happened to it since I'm no good with Japanese and the updates stopped coming.
>>
>>15201413
I'm not very good either, but I figured since it is just one man who does the designs that he just switched focus for the time being. That and Chouginga would be crazy complex to actually pull off, so I suspect it's a lot of slow design work.

>>15201394
E2046 does garage kit recasts and stuff, they're a good place to look if you want to find something rare. It won't be original, but I've heard they do quality reproductions.

>>15201038
A true /m/an would have few of loli statues at least to be a char

This image only proves how good Izubuchi is if his designs can't be summed up in one meme
>>
>>15204758
Izubuchi's would just be a regular proportioned human being. Maybe a bit barrel chested and short-armed, but it's the closest you'd get to not fucking weird.

He drew his own meme, saving us the trouble.
