But which face...is calling out to us?

It reminds me of Halo in a sense.

Sensor mask over brave head is best.
The handsomest for real.
>>14145863
Gundam heads are awful designs. I'm disgusted you would imply otherwise.
>>14146503
Gundamface is fine once. Nothing wrong with granddaddy RX-78-2. It's reusing it to death that's the problem.
>>14145863
simple, patriotic, and iconic
>>14146526
I strongly dislike the insistence on giving Optimus lips that they keep doing. He looks cooler with the faceplate on.
>>14146417
>>14146519
>Nothing wrong with granddaddy RX-78-2.
Being cluttered and clunky seems like a pretty big issue to me.
>>14146542
>>14146569
Clustered? When it only has 5 details on the whole mecha?
>>14146519
>>14145863
>>14146612
There's too much stuff going on and the v-fin isn't integrated into the design at all and looks ridiculously out of place as a result (hence clunky). These issues are found on most Gundams, not just RX-78-2.
>>14146631
Again, there is barely anything going on. I don't know if you only like tubebots or something but the original RX is low on detail. The v-fin is no more out of place than the breast things on Mazinger Z. It looks fine, especially when comparing it to a kabuto.
>>14146659
Let's break down it's elements, then. I'm talking only about the frontal view here, since that's the most problematic.
>two eyes (colour doesn't matter here, eyes are supposed to stand out)
>a black border around the eyes
>a red ridge beneath the border
>a mouth plate
>two vent lines on the mouthplate
>a red chin piece
>a helmet
>a mohawk on the helmet
>a red camera on the mohawk
>a continuous raised "earmuff" piece
>on the raised piece is a series of vents on both sides of the head
>yellow vulcans (white on some versions, but on the original they're yellow)
>a red jewel
>v-fin
So, no, there isn't "barely anything going on". That's a -lot- of stuff.
The colours aren't that big of an issue, but because the head has so much base detail already they make it even busier. But that's just the head, the entire design has one colour too many. Removing just one would make the colour scheme not-shit.
Then there's the v-fin. Not only does it look like someone just blu-tacked it on, the angle of the horns doesn't work with the very upright body shape of RX-78-2. That kind of angle would work on a wider design, like Virtue. The Crossbones have a good angle for the v-fin.
If the entire design was just the head as it is, it'd be fine. But since it also has a whole body with it's own detail to it, it's too much.
Considering the most recognizable features of the Gundam are the v-fin and the mouth grill, here's how I would fix it;
>remove the red ridge beneath the eyes
>remove the black vents on the sides of the head
>remove the vulcans, yellow or not
>raise the angle of the v-fin
>integrate the head camera and the v-fin into one shape that flows better, similar to Red Warrior and Zeta Plus.
>The v-fin is no more out of place than the breast things on Mazinger Z
Irrelevant, we're not talking about Z.
>It looks fine, especially when comparing it to a kabuto.
>This is shit
>Nah it's fine because this other thing is shittier
What. Also again, irrelevant.

Person who designs things for a living here.
The Gundam's head is pretty cohesive. Nothing intrudes upon anything, the v-fin angles you towards the face (y'know, arguably the most important aspect of a mech design), the the few colors there are pop in contrast with the base white.
What you're suggesting to "fix" it is incredibly boring and would make it looks like some generic robot. The entire point of a design is to hook the audience into looking at it, which is exactly what "Gundamface" does. It's heroic, instantly recognizable, familiar in what we see in it (it looks like a face- eyes+"mouth" grills), and can also look intimidating at specific angles. The Gundam head hits all the marks of a good hero design, which is a lot more than I can say for many of the other robots from that time.
>>14145897
>my Gundam is so edgy it cries blood!
>>14145898
I always thought the Stein would look better with a Gundam-ish crest of some sort. It just looks bad with no flourish at all to the head when the rest of the suit has stuff going on.
>>14145863
>>14147222
Same feeling but I thought the rest of the suit should have been toned down. Would have been funnier when you realize that FF did that much more cosmetic shit on his war machine, too

You know it.
Mecha faces aren't handsome. Hide that shit behind a mask.
>>14147241
Gotta love the Robot Detective/Big O/Q look.
>>14146857
:S?
>>14147461
Well drawn, but I think that looks pretty boring without the side vents and the accompanying bulge around the sides and back. Which I guess just goes to show he was wrong.
>>14147498
i gotta agree, i don't know if i'm just too used to how the Gundam face works, but this looks too naked -especially without the side vents
>>14146417
Sensor Mask.
>>14147317
damn i like
>>14147461
eh. It looks like a Strike that lost its second v-fin.
>>14146417
A sensor mask covering a visor head, which itself breaks at a critical moment to reveal there was a Brave head beneath it all along.
>>14146503
>Shit on Gundam face
>Posts Transformers face which is basically guy in a helmet and features an awful color scheme
You are in no position to criticize
>>14147879
But how could you not like the Brave face, which is a very stupid name to give that style anyway, since it's not even remotely the most iconic series to use it, nor the one to popularize it or use it first?
>>14147892
I like Brave Faces, but they usually have everything else around the face be interesting to distinguish itself from all the other Brave faces.
This guy just has a generic one-tone helmet with no real interesting features.
>>14147901
Whoever thought putting a nose on a gundam deserves to be punched
Most handsome Zaku bar none.
>>14147925
Geara Doga is truly underrated. I say this as a Fedfag. Best Zaku indeed.
Not handsome but worth posting
For those who like danger
Alphonse is the most handsome!
>>14147386
Giant Robo has all that and an Egyptian headdress.
>>14147919
Thankfully it looks fine when the face is closed. F-91 is my favorite Gundam design, and even I hate the open face.
>>14147933
Agreed. Geara Doga a best. And I too am a feddiefag.
Geara Zulu just looked like a GM playing dress-up. It didn't have any of the graceful curves that mark a Zeon design. While we did get a couple Dogas in Unicorn, it's a damn shame they had all new grunts for their main force only a short three years after CCA.
>>14147901

To be expected from Obari.

Sleipnirs/Areions are some of the best redshirt mechs I've ever seen.
>>14146629
>>14149457
Wait, when did GP02 appeared in BF?
>>14145863
Best aesthetic toku mech.
Pic related is a head design that I think has good visual balance.I've also shown pictures of RX-78-2 and Red Warrior to a couple of artists and all of them preferred RW.
>>14147027
>Nothing intrudes upon anything
The overabundance of different design elements on the head add a bunch of noise to the design which makes the character design incohesive when you look at a full body shot.
>make it looks like some generic robot
It already is a generic toy robot. Ain't nothing going to change that.
>What you're suggesting to "fix" it is incredibly boring
By that logic stuff like Zakus, Doms and Gorg here >>14146597 are boring too.
The rest of your post doesn't really relate to anything I said.
>>14147461
Whaddya know, it looks pretty good. It also totally looks like a Gundam and not a generic robot at all.
Just a couple of things;
>I didn't mean take out the earmuffs completely, just removing the vents
>Combining the forehead jewel and camera into one
>Removing the nose ridge completely, but making it the same colour as the eye liner works too
>>14147514
>i don't know if i'm just too used to how the Gundam face works
I think herein lies the problem for most people here. You've been staring at these things for so long you can't really take a step back and actually look at them anymore.
>>14147879
OP asked for handsome mecha faces, so I figured I'd post the one that makes me sweat every time I look at it. Yes, I'm man crushing a toy. Don't judge me.
>an awful color scheme
How is it awful?

I'm sorry you were born with terrible taste. I hope in the next life you will not be so damn dumb.
>>14150883
Oh hey, haven't seen this one before. Thanks.
While that is a great design, you're wrong.

Okay then, explain. I'm not disagreeing with anything you said that I didn't reply to, by they way.
Then again, you probably aren't even that guy.
