Artist's commentary
Front Mission: A Moment Alone
Hi all! It's been so long since I've been able to post work that I've done!
These concept artworks were done in late 2008 for the game Front Mission Evolved. Front Mission is a cult-classic mecha franchise by Square Enix that inspired my love for robots when I was a youngster. It was an insane privilege for IFS and myself to have been able to contribute to it.

Image info:
My second favourite image, this one also involves the most 3D(base model provided by Verawat.V) and photo textures. Aside from helping to conceptualise the operations hangar area, along with the entrance to the observation deck and rest of the base... I thought it was a good opportunity to try something more... symbolic? The original render and angle by V was too good to pass up the opportunity.

-Skan Srisuwan for his wonderful Wanzer redesigns.
-Verawat Verasunthorn who translated Skan's designs into 3D models, over which a number were used as 'bases' for me to paint over in these artworks to maintain accuracy and as a time saver.
-With Skan's permission, I'd taken design liberties with some of his designs, throwing in my own ideas and flavour to the mix; hopefully providing an extra layer of 'grounded-ness' or grittiness that I felt resonated with the spirit of Front Mission. ;) (Wink)
