I’ve loved anime ever since the 80’s, watching shows like Robotron and Voltron. Compared to American cartoons of the time, they felt incredibly detailed, especially when it came to the mechanical designs. The artists drew screws, bolts, pistons, joints, and all the little components that made the machines feel real. There was always so much to take in.
Those shows became a huge inspiration to me. They taught me to look at everything mechanical I create and ask, “How can I add more detail without cluttering the design?” Finding the balance between complexity and readability is a fine line, but it’s one I’ve always enjoyed exploring.
