Total Chaos: Grim Reaper
Wednesday, August 29, 2007




Completed the Total Chaos at last! Really took me awhile to get the mappings done. Some of my friends complained that the Alpha Murasame wasn't properly mapped or textured, so I decided to try and give the Total Chaos a more proper mapping and texturing treatment... I hope it doesn't look that bad though... lol.
I don't really like the green of the original Chaos hence I chose this light bluish green as a contrast to the black of the Alpha Murasame.

The pilot is a guy named Remi Fiero, with a pretty big ego and doesn't like losing to females... will get more into him later. Next up will be doing the in-flight shots of the Total Chaos, so till then!

Total Chaos: preview 06
Wednesday, August 15, 2007

Another update since last month's. This is the WW2 propeller fighter plane appearance, after the 2 remote weapon pods are detached. What's left now is to map the 2 remote weapon pods and the Total Chaos will be completed. Can't wait ya!

Total Chaos: preview 05
Tuesday, July 17, 2007

Finally an update on Total Chaos.
Most textures seen here were actually done quite sometime ago, just that some minor parts aren't completed yet, so I did not post an update. I added paint scratches on the grey parts.
The texturing of Total Chaos has dragged on way too long... must finish it soon, so that I can start work on other stuffs.

Total Chaos: preview 02
Tuesday, March 27, 2007

A small update. This is how it looks like without the remote weapon pods but still some stuffs need to be adjusted for the final look. I replaced the side thrusters at the back with funnel-type thrusters... that's just so Gundam eh?
Now what's left are the 2 remote weapon pods... so till then.

A little preview on the 3D Total Chaos. Since Total Chaos has lesser parts, I shall finish this faster than Alpha Murasame... hopefully.

Total Chaos: Design Sketches
Friday, March 02, 2007
click on image to enlarge for details

Yes! The next MA of Revelation:75 from Zaft... Total Chaos! I have always been thinking of creating a MA-only version out of the Chaos Gundam... ermm... not really a new creation, it's more like a mix & match hence the name Total Chaos, the design is really a total chaos I think. lol

When I 1st did concept of it in my mind, I had images of WW2 fighters appearing and I thought "hey! it will be pretty cool if I have this MA in those WW2 propeller fighter style" plus the Alpha Murasame has a modern design of a fighter plane with forward swept wings, the contrast will be great... modern fighter vs WW2 fighter.
For the actual design seen here, I took only the backpack of the Chaos Gundam and gave it a pair of wings from the Force Silhouette. I'm keeping it simple as most WW2 fighters ain't complicated or fanciful in appearance. It should look more like a WW2 fighter after the remote weapon pods detached from the main body... but if this happens, there won't be any weaponry left on the main body. To counter that, I gave it 2 20mm CIWS guns at the nose, making it look even more like a WW2 fighter now. The rest of the details can be found in the picture above.

Now that the design is out, next up will be the 3D creation and hopefully the model kit too. Gotta enjoy the weekend before starting on the 3D, so till then...

Concept Art: Total Chaos

Rough sketches of Total Chaos, a new MA from Zaft. Played a bit with variations and finally decided on the design at the lower right hand corner.

Alpha Murasame: Red Widow?
Saturday, February 24, 2007

Actually this red color scheme was done before the final low-visibility color scheme of the Black Widow. I took the red a bit overboard and ended up having a lot of red instead of just the cockpit and the ALTER's compartment. I scrapped this color scheme because it doesn't match the color placement of a real Black Widow, plus I didn't want people to misunderstand that I am a fanboy of Char or Athrun(no, I don't mean that being a fan of these 2 characters is a sin...).
Although I did not use this color scheme but will still keep it in case I have a need for it later on... perhaps as the color scheme for the ace pilot of a certain Alpha Murasame squadron etc.

Concept Art: Alpha Murasame


Some initial rough design sketches of the Alpha Murasame. Seems like the final design wasn't from any of these. lol


Top picture:
I took away half of each leg and it's looking good, in fact I quite like the design on the left. I played a bit on the wing design too... they look ok in the drawings but definitely not ok in the physical model. They look really weird without half of each leg.

Bottom picture:
I retained the full legs in these set of design but took away the feet and replace them with thrusters, figuring that the feet will be of no use since it is a MA-only and not a transformable MS. The left design pretty much made it to the final cut as the Mass Production Model.

Alpha Murasame: in flight
Monday, February 12, 2007




Some pictures of the crafts in training flight routine. The last picture is a simulation of the Bawoos in flight from Meaningless War 0091. My favourite is the 1st picture... but seems like I have seen something similar before but can't remember where.


*I have forgotten where I got the pictures of the sky from, so please kindly drop me a mail or message if anyone happens to know.

Alpha Murasame: Black Widow



I have completed the Alpha Murasame at last! I named it Black Widow because of the ALTER-system(ah! I forgot the sketches of how the ALTER-system will look like when it is in operation... ermm next time then). After deciding on the name, I continue to choose a color scheme that resembles it. I had it in low-visibility colors and placed a red on the ALTER's compartment, simulating the famous red marking at the Black Widow's abdomen... with the overall look resembling the Black Widow itself.

If you have noticed, the name of the pilot for the Black Widow is a female's and I will be designing her together with some conceptual works next.

Alpha Murasame: Mass Production Model



Finally a new Murasame look... the mass production model! Hmm... not really something new as I just changed the forward-swept wings to delta wings. Felt that it's kinda boring to see the mass production model same as the new prototype Black Widow, but I kept the original color scheme as I quite like it.
There are quite a few differences between the new prototype and the mass production model with the most notable are the delta wings. Next is the central 'fin' compartment, the mass production model has the original Type 72 high-energy beam cannon, they are not equipped with the ALTER-system as it is an experimental new weapon only available for testing on the Black Widow. This model also lacks 3 extra small thrusters and they are replaced with 3 connector-compartments for future upgrades... similar gimmicks like the Wizard packs or the Striker packs.

Next up is another MA but this time it's from Zaft. So till then....

Alpha Murasame: preview 03
Friday, February 02, 2007




Finally get to finish the model itself, next up will be texture mapping. Have yet to decide on the color scheme in my mind but it should be finalized soon. I have included a few close-up shots of the missile pods, intake compartments and thrusters... in case anyone wanted to see.
This is just the beginning.

Alpha Murasame: preview 01
Friday, January 12, 2007

The 1st preview of the 3D Alpha Murasame. Progress has been really slow as I felt like a real beginner in 3D because I have not been touching on 3D for 4 years. Now I am getting back the hang of it, so hopefully progress will speed up soon.

Alpha Murasame: Design Sketches
Thursday, December 28, 2006
click on image to enlarge for details

I have been thinking of creating a Gundam story for sometime now and it happens that I am doing my portfolio at the moment... so I thought why not make this as part of my portfolio too. I had been drafting a side-story of Gundam Seed eversince I created the crucified Black Astray(I sounds like a fanboy... haha). Now I have more ideas after watching Gundam Seed Destiny and Stargazer, so I decided to do a story that is after the 2nd war... hence the title Revelation:75

Yes! If you have guessed it... the 75 means C.E.75. The story will revolves around the Black Astray but I will try not to make it another Astray side-story. There will be ORB and ZAFT mechas but I will not include the EAF as I assume there will be no more EAF after the 2nd war. This Alpha Murasame will be the 1st mecha from ORB... and I will reveal more soon.

I will be doing a 3D(already in progress) and a model kit of this Alpha Murasame and I have planned quite a few other stuffs for this side-story too, but will see how it goes as the project progress... who knows, I may just do a short graphic novel of it.
