Hybrid original artist Jimmy Stone designed the “GRANBELM” Q version 4 head robot – magic man “ARMANOX” (meaning “night armor”, named after the supervision of Watanabe politics) is deeply loved by the audience, in order to give back to the audience The favorite, Jimmy also enthusiastically interacted with the audience using the question box on Twitter, and supplemented the settings of each rider and the parts that were not shown in the play. In the “GRANBELM” special issue of the 5th issue of Anime Bros., Jimmy also accepted an interview to explain the mechanical design of this work
Jimmy is also looking at the Q version of the robot animation in the 1980s and 1990s, because Nexus President Nakamura knows his preferences, so he has chosen Jimmy to join the project. When I received this notice, Jimmy had to take care of other works, and I was a little confused at the time. But when I saw the “magic robot” on the data, Jimmy immediately blinked and painted non-stop, and had already painted dozens of pages. Among them are the white lilies that everyone sees now, and Jimmy’s most desirable image in this pile of drawings. He rushed to show this to everyone and won the unanimous approval of the audience. At the same time, Jimmy also said that the next step is really the place to work hard
Mainly the word “magic” has attracted Jimmy, too much sci-fi too mechanized robot is not its own long term. Jimmy used to experience the hard work of SUNRISE in the past. Almost every work needs a special setting, so it can’t be designed as you like. “GRANBELM” does not need such a cumbersome process, and in addition to the design, Jimmy also acts as the naming and setting of the riding body. After all, it is not a real science fiction, even if there are many places that are said to be irresponsible. You can also use the word “magic” to fool the past. Magic is a fairly convenient setting
In addition to the previous design, Jimmy also took charge of the ARMANOX masterpiece painting of this article. Except for the most important face, all the movements and moves of the original paintings are almost always passed from Jimmy. In the first place, the mechanical part of Jimmy’s work was almost completely revised, but he didn’t feel hard. After all, this was the first time that he joined the project as a master in the early days, and he also participated in the script meeting, with the script Hanada Ten. Hui together conceived many worldview settings. It took nearly a year for the scripting work to be done, but Jimmy said that he had learned a lot. In order to make this work a success, it is worth paying
Pure White Lily (White Lily). The symbol of
ARMANOX is also the source of design for the rest of the body. The light attribute, the impression color is white, is the original setting. At first glance, it is necessary to show that this is the hero’s riding body. ARMANOX pays attention to the overall contour when designing. For example, the outline of pure white lily can see the image of the Chinese character “light”, and it will also have different designs because of the color giving the human feeling and the shape of the magic stone. Because ARMANOX is all a girl’s driving body, it is also not designed to be “manly” when designing
Violet Katze.
The design prototype is a cat. When it comes to the beautiful girl magician, it will make people think of the witch. When it comes to the witch, it is a cat or a bat. It is designed with this concept. The dark attribute is also the original setting, so the body color is black. The logo of the riding body is also the design of Jimmy, which is opposite to the white lily
Aconite Gris.
The obvious power type ARMANOX. Because it is a girl’s maneuvering body, the overall is more gorgeous, and it is similar to Anna’s feeling. Inflammatory properties, the shape is also “inflammatory” shape. Each role belongs to a different country. Anna is a Spanish origin. When it comes to Spain, the first reaction is bullfight. Therefore, the design has also added a little “bovine”
Laser Guanlong (Ji Guan Long)
Ground property. Ningning is a Chinese, so the dragon is the prototype. The name of ARMANOX is almost named after the flower plus color form. The laser crown dragon is a special case. It is the dinosaur that was distributed in China at that time – the colorful crown dragon (scientific name: Guanlong wucaii). Ningning had a special feeling for her mother. Jimmy originally planned to use carnation as the prototype. However, the design was not as good as Jimmy’s wish, and the word Carnation was originally changed from the Coronation. Become the crown of the crown and the god, and thus the crown dragon
Originally Jimmy intends to name it “Xin Guan Long”. Since the pronunciation of “Xin” is similar to the “Wake Up” after deformation, it is finally changed to “Laser”, and the laser crown dragon is the initial name
Drosera Nocturn.
Curse attribute, the reason why the witch is used as an impression is to distinguish it from other designs, and choose the design that can’t see the face. Because Jimmy himself is an animated original painter, it is as simple as possible to simplify the lines in design. And Jimmy thinks that ARMANOX should be a creature that is closer to the creature, so it uses softer lines. The part that can’t see the face is also to highlight the mystery of the creamy nocturne. The design of the head pays tribute to Jimmy’s favorite dragon son, “The Soul Taker” (The Soul Taker ~ Soul Hunt ~), like a snake monster. The design of the rod is also deliberately close to the image of the Kamen Rider
Crest Anthurium.
Wind property, designed with the impression of birds, the “cockscomb” on the top is completely different from the pure white lily. The feathers on the back can be unfolded, because it is a magical figure, so some strange deformations are allowed. In addition, in Jimmy’s setting, pure white lily is the oldest ARMANOX, while feathered candle is a newer riding body
雪月梅花(Setsugetsu Baika).
Gravity properties. Snow Moon Plum is also a relatively new ARMANOX in Jimmy’s setting, so the lines will give people a feeling of purification. The upper part is made of wood, which is made of Lingmu, so it is more light and thin than other riding bodies. In addition, when you talk about the moon, you will think of rabbits, so there are also rabbits in the shape
