09. The Girl in the Shell
Armor, Gundam Style. From the first time I encountered Hisako Ichiki in Astonishing X-Men, I wanted to see her armor manifest as either a Gundam, Unit-02, or a GIANT ASTRO BOY. I was gonna draw all three, but turns out giant robots are FREAKY HARD TO DRAW, so let’s all try to be content with the RX-78-2 and hope I never have to draw another one of these ever again.
For those of you just tuning in, it’s the Mighty Month of Marvel here on jakewyattriot, one new drawing from the Marvel Multiverse on the daily. If you’d like to vote for your favorite Marvel character to be featured this month, feel free to ask.
