I wasn’t sure what to post, so I’ll report on the progress of the variable robot (still unnamed) I’m currently building.
I specialize in character design centered around mecha like robots and cyborgs.
I have a decent grasp of manga and anime expressions, especially regarding mecha, though I’m not an expert.
・About the robot currently in production
The concept involves a pilot character operating it, summoning it from the ground, and boarding it.
This robot is stored and hidden in its basic warship state.
I’ve been struggling to recreate this mechanism in VRChat, but I’m finally getting closer to the ideal form.
The gimmick is planned to be almost identical to this video.

Character settings and such will be fleshed out later.
