Ingram: shadow of the griffin

I've been hooked on the patlabor series recently. I mean.... I've seen it before but I've just now been able to afford the rest of the tv series and ova. They don't do anime like that anymore. It kind of reminded me of why I dig mechs so much. This is the alphonse ingram and to the top right is the head of the griffin labor. The griffin has wings but I didn't want to complicate this pic more than it already has been. There is supposed to be some text on the ingram's arm but I couldn't find a clear enough pic.I tried not to make the griffin blend in w/ the ingram but I failed. The griffin is kind of the ingram's rival mech in the series so I sort of included it. I had so much free space I needed to put something there. I kind of know why I dig detailing so much. It just gives the mech or character a historical feel to it. Someone or something that isn't an easy icon to forget. I dunno..... it's just me digging to deep I guess.
