The Grand Inquisitors are elite clerical warriors of the Spanish Empire equipped with steam-powered mechanical armor, fitted with Toledo steel and sacred artifacts. Blessed by the Holy See, these fanatical remnants of the Inquisition have been given renewed power by the Industrial Revolution and sacred relics from Rome. Sent as a desperate act to quell rebellion, these holy warriors are now tasked with rooting out heretics and filibusters from distant colonies. As the 19th century draws to a close, the Grand Inquisitors find themselves in the midst of a rising conflict against their waning empire that may lead to a revolution.
Production notes: I always wanted a steam-powered Catholic mecha. I drew on a bunch of references: I think it looks like a cross between a Sazabi, a Guymelef, a Sto Nino statue, and a bunch of motorcycle parts. It has Samus' thighs. After a week of planning, I rushed this pic for a convention's mecha design contest. I began the lineart at 6 pm last night and had it printed at noon. Didn't win, but that's ok. Bits of it came out different from what I planned, but I'm fairly happy with it. I don't know If I still want to finsih this to the original vision. The idea was what Jose Rizal's stories might have been like if he also liked giant airships and powered armor.  |

Now playing: Atelier Iris 1 and Magna Carta 2
Hoping to play: Eternal Sonata and Tales of Vesperia (PS3)
My only complaint is that guy's snub-nosed revolver. It looks like its made out of play-dough or something; the lines aren't straight. Its not an especially big eyesore or anything--indeed, I don't think anyone would really notice, compared to the large robot, but still.
