Revision Notes- Gundam Dawn

This is a sort of rough sketch I did of Gundam Dawn late last year, trying to really iron out the proportions of the design. Looking back at it (with the benefit of having several Gundam 00 reference / art books on hand), it seems there are quite a lot of little bits throughout the design that need some work, especially for really capturing the feel of Gundam 00.

I've considered adding in some of those purplish-gray GN belt/conduit things present on all of the Season 1 Gundams. I'm still sort of on the fence about that.

I'll also probably try to make the sides of the chest look more like their own distinct modules, rather than having them directly built into the torso (since around the sides and back, they already look like they should be separate modules. Only the very front is where they're directly integrated).

I'll also be slightly upping the contrast of the color scheme, mainly by slightly darkening the gray of the mechanism bits and the gray on the chest and legs.

This is a design for my unofficial Gundam 00 side-story: Gundam 00 Dawn.
