One of Japan’s most talented anime modelers continues to create works of art that look more 2-D than most actual drawings.
The RGZ-91 Re-GZ (Refined Gundam Zeta) is a prototype transformable mobile suit based on the MSZ-006R Zeta Plus R. It was featured in the anime movie Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack and had a cameo in the OVA series Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn.
Impressive colored pencil work
To really help complete the illusion, kyo512a (nickname of the modeler on twitter) mounted the finished model against a picture frame with some pencil shading applied to a plain white piece of paper, which also helps hide a thruster that’s broken off the robot’s backside since its initial assembly.
