      In a better version of this planet, Rokuro Shiratori would have a massive art book. Someone needs to explain to me why he doesn’t.

    I’m surprises that FASA didn’t turn these into Battlemechs…

    I wish we knew who the artist of the 1/48 box art was. It has a signature! That’s my favorite VOTOMS art of all time. I love how dynamic it looks, especially with the impossible elbow articulation on the Marshydog (which some kit designers have attempted to emulate more recently).

  4. David says:

    In light of the interview you posted, is it possible that it’s Kouichi Inoue (K. Inoue)?

    • TimEldred says:

      I don’t think he’s an artist himself. And I’m not convinced that “Inoue” is the signature. It’s just too muddled.
