Thanks so much for the recommendations! Had also found found a couple of artbooks on Jin Roh, Mamoru Oshii's Intron Depot and other works, Zone of the Enders HD edition, Tatsuya Tanaka's Cannabis Works, more Evangelion books and have began a massive trawl of animebooks.com following some of the recommendations (design works and great mechanics seem to be pretty good tags to follow). Anything really along the real-robot--military-cyber-punk end of the spectrum, for mechanical design, concept art, even characters/location art is cool.

Someone posted a megas with a bundle of seven mecha related artbooks in this /ic/ thread >>3023742 Of the seven there is one that will probably interest you that is "Yutaka Izubuchi Mechanical Design Works Realistic Mechanics".

Oh, yes, I forgot we can't link. Just go on to /ic/ and enter their latest Artbook Thread, is one of the first posts.

A little off-topic: How to make an artbook? A plan on doing one a book I'm writing, in which the artbook fully shows what the mecha in my book will look like.

First you would need enough actual content to form a artbook. Generally, the majority of the artbooks that I already have put my eyes on have at least more than 20 pages of drawings. If you only have something like two or five drawings/schematics of the mechas from your story, you would be better just putting them in the last pages, or in the middle, of your story book.
