I wanted to rework one of my old sketches for #marchoftherobots2026 and found this old doodle of a robot with a head for a body, this design has fascinated me as it’s so uncanny, mainly from #gurrenlagan, #gaiking and various #gundam designs.
After I finished the initial colouring I just added more
1st Gaiking inks.

Gaiking! He was always my "leader" character with my action figures.

Gaiking was my first giant robot, and few can match the effect that first bot has on you. I'm sure anyone would agree with the feeling when it comes to their own personal firsts, whether it be Gundam, Macross, and the like. This is also notable, as it was one of the very first drawings that I colored digitally. I had just gotten my first drawing pad (Surprise: it's STILL the same one I'm using now!), and a lack of knowledge in settings meant I had to do this with no pressure sensitivity at all, so it was all manual control of brush sizes and the like. Everything was done with a custom brush, from the rendering, to the clouds, and even the lens flare. I think this was done of Photoshop CS2 or 3? I was introduced to Gaiking via the Force Five movie compilation that was available on VHS back in the day, but this version was influenced by the more recent-ish anime, Daiku Maryu Gaiking, which had a substantially different cast and story.
Gaiking again, this time featuring a personal redesign of the Daiku Maryu, the robotic dragon that served as the flying carrier for the heroes, and whose head is the core component of Gaiking itself. The girl is Midori, who in the original anime, acted as one of the main bridge controllers in charge of the deployment of the different ships, as well as launching the seperate components for Gaiking's assembly for battle.
After the original Gaiking pencil sketch was posted on my old DeviantArt account, I received a few commission requests, one of which was this: a depiction of (from left to right) Mazinger Z, Getter Robo G, and Brave Raideen. It might be noted that I like to draw the joints and such on my mechs, and even base some of those on actual toy articulation. Also telling is the way I draw the hands is highly based on the way Nick Roche and Alex Milne drew hands for their runs on IDW's Transformers comics, which served to get me back into drawin robots back then.
If there was ever any super robot anime that rivals Gaiking in my heart, it would be Getter Robo G, which was released under the Force Five line as "Starvengers". An older title than Gaiking itself, and apparently the one of the first ever combining robots. Three high-tech jets that can merge together in different arrangements to form each of these three robots. Counter-clockwise from the left, its Getter Dragon, Getter Liger, and Getter Poseidon. The Starvengers version swapped the Getter name with "Star" and Liger became Star Arrow. Assorted trivia: The ultimate attack for Getter Robo was done in the Dragon configuration, and done in two stages: first the charging of energy, called Getter Shine, and the subsequent release of that energy, called the Shine Spark. I don't know if there was any intended reference by that name, but it should sound familar to Metroid fans. Oh, and the ultimate attack for a later version of Getter Robo would be called the "Stoner Sunshine". Make of that what you will.
More robot backlog! Well, one of them was previously posted, but that was a WHILE back. Let's look at some giant robots, shall we?
As usual, more detailed write-ups in the alt text for each pic. One of these days, I WILL hide something there!

Chibi drawing of mecha protags sitting around a kotatsu. From bottom center and going clockwise the characters are: Kazuya Ryuzaki (Daimos), Sanshiro Tsuwabuki (Gaiking), Takuma Ichimonji (Danguard Ace), Ryoma Nagare (Getter Robo), and Akira Hibiki (Brave Raideen).
My favorite 70s mecha trope is the one where the protagonist is voiced by Akira Kamiya :]
