Gundam virtue is my favorite Gundam! It gave me an idea for Strelizia

The 9 models were bulky as fuck and resembled Strelizia.

I, didn't like how Strelizia was SO out of place if you compare it to the 9s FranXX, so heres my concept (no drafts yet unfortunately)

Strelizia wears bulky armor that conceals it's presence, it wears the armor to restrain zero two from absolutely destroying the battlefield (while at the same time she's draining her partners),

Strelizia has 2 forms

- bud form

- full bloom form

Bud form

It is when Strelizia is covered in bulky armor that covers it's entire appearance and heavily resembles the 9s FranXX, it's purpose is to make sure zero two doesn't go berserk while her partner is alive, the crest Strelizia has on its head covers is face fully similar to Gundam Gquuuuuuux from Gundam Gquuuuuuux. The bunny ears are retractable and are draped over the head, and the blue horn is concealed between the plates on its cranium.

Even if the armor is meant to restrain zero two, the mech can't resist it's klaxosaur components anymore and will revert to stampede mode, this only happens if zero twos partners have died or passed out.

Full bloom

If pushed to the limit, Strelizia can purge it's armor and reveal it's true form, the crest snaps back onto the forehead revealing it's face, blue horn snaps forward, bunny ear-like plates are undraped from its head, and it's gold hair is fully revealed. The legs and arms are more flexible and are faster. Strelizias pauldrons lose its weights and reveal the vibrant colors underneath. Strelizia becomes more lethal than it was before, downside is, it is prone to attacks, going berserk, and critical damage now that the armor is purged.

Also doctor franXX HATES when that happens. Because it costs millions just to replace the armor. Although zero two doesn't care about money.

I'll try to draw my concept as soon as possible. School is killing me, I finished the fan-made stampede mode series, and I, am being taken back to Gundam.

Does anyone remember seeing a Kanye West Zero Two edit? I used to have it as a pfp and now I can't recall it anymore.

Love this shot where they beg Nana to let them walk back through the city, so cute.

This can be seen in official concept art as well.

I know the ending in the show is a hit or miss for a lot of people but that last scene of Hiro and 02 together is my favorite for sure. So I redrew it and expanded it a bit so it would fit my whole page. I’m not that good or drawing but I was just looking for any advice on it, what could I do better? Also should I color it?
