ZOIDS. You came for the Zoids. You stayed for the Zoids. And maybe the dragons. Itty bitty K Wuf by Rhodes~ Anything under "Zoids Artwork" is drawn by me.

High-detail Zoid Commission for Torrigan of Ambient, because Ambient’s just awesome~

When I go to a room of the house that doesn’t have an exterior door, my dog doesn’t understand how to ask to go outside. I’ve learned to tell if she has to go by the fact that she stands around looking like a forlorn little white buffalo.

... Looking online... I feel deep remorse for what I did to my zoid models. I brutalized them. I played with them like they were action figures after painstakingly assembling them... And now I want a red blade liger again to proudly display on my shelf and the cheapest I found was like $300. My Deathstinger is strewn about in broken pieces I'm sure somewhere in my attic... That's going for at least $500 now. Granted that was like blissful joy as a child but... Fuck lil dude couldn't you keep one in tact?

Ebay’s prices are taking serious advantage of people who aren’t as familiar with the market, so it’s best to shop around~ You can get Death Stinger for $60 if you’re patient (not including fees and shipping) and Red Blade Liger (at least the Tomy version) for around $40. Importing with services like buyee can be scary, but it’s a lot simpler than it looks, and can save you hundreds of dollars when the only alternative is Ebay. Check out this Japanese names page with a quick guide on how to look them up, and this page on using importing services.

Recent commission for @derangedhyena!

This was a fun one, and I am delighted to have finally been commissioned to draw some Zoids

A loose drawing of a ruin-lurking Silver Fang I did a couple months back, in anticipation for getting my kit~

[hanyoutaikyoushu]

König Wolf Silver Fang! This kit was custom commissioned from Torrigan, who did an absolutely amazing job. We collaborated on some of the design choices, like fixing the severe overbite, widening the snout, and adding minor custom design elements.Overall, I think it is the best result I could ever want from a Silver Fang! Absolutely stunning work. He did the modeling and 3D printing, and I did the painting and provided design assistance. 

Because of Torrigan’s custom design choices, the Silver Fang is actually considerably larger than the standard König Wolf. It has longer limbs, larger paws, and a much larger head.These choices were all fantastic ones. The head is so heavily armored I could actually only find a single double ball joint in my collection that would hold it up!

The kit is fully articulated, but since it will be days before there’s enough sunlight to take proper photos, I decided to roll with these for now. I look forward to really showing off all of the insane design details that went into this kit.

In the process of planning for comic stuff, some Zoids also got refs. Including the main character’s Zoid, a custom Konig Wolf, redesigned from the ground up to support a properly functioning CAS system. It’s too bad it’s now owned by someone too poor to buy CAS.

Story wise, eye color varies by region. Northern wolf species have red eyes, central wolves have orange, and southern wolves have yellow. Each standard has its own list of pros and cons.

For a long time I’ve agonized over wanting to make a Zoids comic. I’m slowly coming around to the reality that the time (and physical ability) may never exist in the capacity that I want for the comic. if I had common sense I’d put the goal behind me, but doodling Zoids in the car is a strong reminder that I still really want to do the thing. So, instead trying to figure out if the overarching story could be split into some short one shots, or if maybe I just want to attempt something that has no story.

I’ve briefly explored the waters of comic making a couple of times, but never finished them as they were tied to community projects. Both times I really enjoyed it, though.

After hemming and hawing for a while about whether to post any human/comic art here, or to make a side blog, settled for here. My tumblr isn’t really getting much use. Keshion was to be the antagonist of the story, and there may still be some shorts exploring his perspective. We shall see.

Zoid Pilot OC commission for @hanyoutaikyoushu! Thank you for commissioning me, it was fun drawing him~!

[hanyoutaikyoushu]

Ahh thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time for this commission, and I really love how it turned out~ Excited to have art of him in a nice Zoidy style~

A collection of FOR-Specific doodles/drawings done over the last year or two.

- A red Dibison I often ended up in battles with!

- There was a Death Stinger event where, to destroy it before it reached the base, you had to run ahead to trigger its CPC spin so it would stop, so it would have more time to be damaged. Most Zoids didn’t bother to see if there was one of us CPG-users anchored in place before doing this, though. Many Breakers were a’sploded that week.

- The world will never know the horror of pachyderms trying to kamikaze your base for a full 10 minutes because their ridiculously OP defense let them walk right past you- Won with a tiny sliver of base HP left.

- The introduction of the Konig Wolf was topically paired with insane battle glitches, game crashes, etc. Including the Zoid being stuck in place throughout the battle. Overheating woes.

- ... Purple Shadow Foxes are just pretty ok. Go-to scheme for all game foxes.

- Overpowered Zeek Dober was in for a very rude awakening when the newly introduced launching Breaker claws snared him mid-Hellblazer run and dragged him to a fiery death.

- Don’t play multiplayer games with reliant teammates during lightning storms, kids-

- Drawn during the very last day of Zoids FOR, with just a few hours remaining. I battled until the very moment I could battle no more.

A collection of Zoid drawings/doodles done in the range if 2017 ~ 2019~ I don’t have much time to draw things like this anymore, so thought I’d post some of them here on Tumblr~

[blueroansnbuckskins]

Can never appreciate this design too much. I love Zoids and this is a design based off the König Wolf prototype zoid. It’s color scheme is heavily based off a character of mine, the demon wolf, Allagar.

Also, the song I listened to while creating this beast.

[hanyoutaikyoushu]

This is such an incredibly cool design! Love the changes to the original concept, it really streamlines the appearance. The expression in the face is also great!

A commission for Phobos of their awesome upcoming Bone Jet B custom. The Jet B, along with all webcomic Zoids holds a special place in my heart as one of my oldest Zoid inspirations. I was really happy to have the chance to draw one!
