This is the second piece of a commission. The image is NOT the commission, the model is. The image serves to show that the model has been completed up to some point. The model has been delivered for inspection. Once the OK has been given the X3 and Skullheart will move forward.
This is the CROSS BONE Gundam (or the F97 series of mobile suits) from the Cross Bone Gundam MANGA series. This particular iteration is the X2. The X1, X3 and Scullheart and other variations are incredibly similar in appearance to differing degrees. The weapon that it appears with is the "shot lance" used by the pilot Zabine Chareaux in the Cross Bone Gundam Manga series. Like the X1, it also uses the beam zanber and buster gun (though in it's own darker colors). This Gundam is equipped with a core fighter, which is the origin of the protruding "Crossbone" boosters in the back.
Compared with the X1, the X2 is basically the same with some small differences. The head mounted ventilation system has been replaced with a set of vulcan cannons. The V crest has been modified to be slightly thinner and have a wing shaped protrusion from the rear. There is also an extra antennae near the rear of the head (that should only be on the X2-KAI I think). Otherwise, besides the shot lance, the rest is (outwardly) nearly identical to the X1.
Note:
The commission did not include the "Anti-beam cloak", but did include the shot lance weapon.
That looks alot like the GN Lance used by the GYNX from Gundam 00, does it serve the same purpose or is it alot stronger than the typical GN Lance? i.e. it can withstand beam sabers?
Ahh, and what is X1 without X2? They're like sisters although thats a sort of twisted way of looking at it...Anyway, wicked stuff (I wish X1 was in an action pose too T_T)
Cos, I really like X2 from the start, and you make me like it more.
I really like the way you draw Crossbone X2.
crossbone is 1 f my fav gundam
