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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Whaddya know, it looks pretty good. It also totally looks like a Gundam and not a generic robot at all.
