Here's the Haiho in an action pose. I'll be using this image for the masthead of the new GearHead home page, which should be opening any day now.

I think the second image would look much better in GIF or PNG format. JPG doesn't suit cel-style shading.

Very nice, btw.

OK, I saved it as a png and it does look better now. You can see it at the empty homepage:

What I'd like to do is alter the header so that it would always load the starscape then superimpose a random mecha on top. It seems like that should be easy enough; I'd just have to install a randomization script and brush up on my CSS.

Ooh, shiny new Gearhead home page! Very nice indeed. I suppose with the space background, there's no chance of seeing a Vespa in the header, eh?

Yes. Eunsuk has already indicated that she wants this one on a t-shirt. I'll also be making the Elisha Kettel/Zerosaiko image available on t-shirts soon.

Of course, a mecha compilation Warhol-style would be awesome.

I'm referring, of course, to the Campbell's Soup Cans style painting/picture. Either a total array, or with the inverted and reversed colors.

I did the image with the shading on separate layers, so it's very easy to change the colors. Here's the banner I'll be sending to Temple of the Roguelike when the new site is ready to go live:

That's an awesome banner. Really.

Just got my first taste of spam killing on the wiki. Vigilance is awesome.

I like the subtext, hahah. That's great! The font is perfect too, I think.

After Erathoniel mentioned CafePress, I finally took a look and noticed the GearHead Stein. I've always wanted a stein... gotta get that next week!

Just be careful that you don't turn into a vigilante.

Awesome banner btw.
Almost makes me want to order one... almost.
