Is this the definitive design of the Universal Century aesthetic?

No, because 95% of UC aesthetic doesn't have detail like that.

>>15438517
Doesn't look anything like what we see in F91, Crossbone, or Victory, so no.

That fucking arm being turned at the elbow even though the joint is 90 degrees in the other direction is so fucking irritating holy shit

>>15438517
Should be the Fed aesthetic, that operator aesthetic with ACOG scope and Trijicon sight. Suppressed beam weapons and MS sized Glock 19s because Deagles are bad

>>15438517
If I had to say one, It would be the Gundam Mk 2. It's the perfect bridge between the aesthetic of 0079 and the rest of the early UC in terms of design.

Still hate how Katoki redesigned everything to match his bland style. Work okay for Okawara but what he did to the Izubuchi designs was a crime. Especially Zaku FZ.

>>15438910
Yeah the FZ is supposed to be much beefier. Oh well at least the HGUC is decent. Could've used a moving mono-eye. Oh well!

Feddiesthetic is very consistent when it comes to Gundams and GMs.

>>15438928
What's that plane in the background?
Some sort of X-32 redesigned to look cool?

>>15438910
Katoki is okay when doing angular Feddie stuff but totally falls apart for anything involving bulk or curves.

It's a joint mounted on a swivel. Pretty simple, really.

To be fair, he's gotten better about that as of late. Ironically, it's Izubuchi that's gotten worse over the years.

>>15438910
You mean you hate how Katoki is totally consistent and has been using the same style for decades when redesigning UC stuff, unlike Izubuchi who went batshit insane and draws like ass now?

Nope.
The definitive UC design is the Zaku II.

>>15441587
Izubuchi hasn't designed anything in years.

>>15441550
But that's Izubuchi's design that he just redrew.

>>15438910
I really hate Unicorn/modern UC/designs. Most UC suits are still really clean designs like the left Jegan in >>15438720. They're still boxy and angular, but they aren't just divided into some horrifying mess of useless panel lines and mounted guns.

>>15438860
It's the modern "Okawara knee"

It's like he has some sort of grudge against the guy, christ.

>>15441746

I believe he is talking about how the Hi-Nu Gundam became lanky when Izubuchi "modernized" it for the MG release around 10 years ago

No, that's X-32, Boeing's experimental 4th Gen fighter with the winning smile.

>>15441885
How "finished" are prototypes of that stripe? Could you put it into a combat situation and expect it to not get dunked on by a previous generation mass production unit?

>>15441884
It was a totally different design though, meant to be a combination of the Hi-Nu and original Nu. Probably at Bandai's behest. He succeeded with flying colros.

>>15441891
I don't think it has the computers and shit, it can just fly.

Katoki and Fujita's styles actually work very nicely together though. Fujita was all about sharp angles and spikes.

No, the worst case of Katoki butchering was what he did to Ebikawa and Nagano's stuff.

>>15441980
No. Buchi just did it that way because he felt like it. When his redraws his newer stuff they look totally different proprtions. It's not a combo of the nu and hi nu. His Nu redraw has the same new proportions.

In fact it seems the only part that the Buchi MG takes from the original Hi-Nu design is the backpack. Everything else is 80% original Nu Gundam.

>>15442091
The X-32 lost to the F-35. The YF-23 lost to the F-22.

>>15442042
>No, the worst case of Katoki butchering was what he did to Ebikawa and Nagano's stuff.

I don't recall him touching any of their designs.

>>15442117

No you are wrong. His new hi nu is done in the same way as how he redrew his Nu Gundam. Its not a combo, just an evolution of his stye.

Except that looks nothing like either of them proportionally, and judging from the paint choices is just a quick sketch and not at all indicative of his overall style.

What are you talking about?

>>15444108
The forearm is rotated about 90* to show off the magazine carrier on the underarm. It can't actually turn that way.

>>15441869
For some reason I just do not like this design and its variants. It's such a weird medium between curves and edges. Its so simple in a wrong way because if I look at the jamesgun or javelin, I would think that it came before the GM III or Jesta.
