So what mobile suit did you not like at all until a specific redesign/model kit/alternative art/whatever rolled around?
F91 for me. Heresy I know, but I just didn't feel it. Can't even tell you why, aside from the grill-chest. But something about the upcoming Metal Build made me fall in love with it. Always dug the Metal Build aesthetic (something I love with the Freedom 2.0 too) and this feels like the perfection of that: Detailed but not over the top, slimmed down and captures the essence of the suit...Just wish it was a MG instead.
I'm not saying Okawara's a good illustrator but holy shit that thing on the right is garbage lmao

F91 is beautiful in any case, both original, Katoki or MB redesign. There are only a couple of monkeys who want to be contrarian just to make free baits. I did not like the "anime" Destiny, but the MB is majestic.
>>15213900
the F91 on the right has the ankle guards almost touching the ground, fucking retarded
>>15215917
And?

>>15215938
And what? Nothing you posted made it less retarded.
>>15215938
wow that HGUC is a dissapointment
>>15215946
>>15215950
Interesting. I didn't realize the Metal Build was based on a redesign by Okawara.

Pic related made me fall in love with doms
I agree on the F91, those calves make my dick hard.
>>15215976
F91 merch just tends to be that way. Suit's still sexy as fuck. Sides, what ground is it going to touch in space?

Thank fuck I have this on pre-order

Honestly, it's pretty easy for me to see why you feel that way. Tiny-ass feet aside, the proportions on the MB are a drastic improvement over the older line art, it looked grossly Katokified despite not being his. Seriously, what the fuck is with that tiny head and those ultra long lower legs + thighs? Disgusting!
>>15215992
It's missing a fuckton of the stickers, but yeah, it's definitely one of the kits that needed work to look good.
>>15216143
even the original art appears to have long ass legs and babby armseven.
>>15216191
Even with work it won't look good, it's way too big for it's scale, not even close to 1/144, F91 should be tiny.
>>15213900
feet are WAY too small on the metal build and the calves are too skinny for the rest of the legs
>>15213900
>>15213923
Almost anything by Okawara fits for this thread.
The two designs that really made me feel this way were the Dragonars with Obari's opening and Providence Gundam with the upcoming MG.

The "calves" on the metal build seem bigger than on most other versions, it's the bit between them and the ankle that's pretty skinny, don't know what to call that part.
I think the legs look great honestly
>>15213900
The Destiny Gundam. The RG Re-Design made me fall in love with it. The MG just pales in comparison and the HG looks like ass. I want to get the DM MG in a bad way.
>>15216535
Also the Westenfluss colors REALLY helped me fall in love with it even more. God DAMN do they look good.
>>15216539
For serious.

Robot Damashii has the best proportions.
The metal build F91 is a drastic improvement over the original design, no question.
But man, it's feet got way too small.
>>15218056
Thats something i have against most metal builds except amatsu, its feet are way too sharp for its own good.
>>15216539
Okawara really underdesigns lower legs a lot, doesn't he? Most of his Gundams all have the same lower legs -- basic RX-78 style or basic puffy style.
>>15219174
He draws everything like a guy wearing a rubber suit. That's how it was in his day.
>>15213900
Holy shit, I never realized how awful looking those legs were until now.
How can they do God's work on everything else and fuck up the legs this bad? I was too distracted by shiny gimmicks, it was this tacky looking in the reveal video, but I never saw it until now.
>>15219190
He's very good at designing gimmicks though. The Buster Gundam, for example -- the guns' many gimmicks is a thing to behold. It's really that he's a poor renderer.
