Description
This is basically a continutation of my Gundam Kagutsuchi Project. Thanks to your suggestions, I thought I'd go with some changes.

The reason why the pencilart looks a lot darker was the usage of an older scanner of ours since the one I normally used at the moment was out of whack. As always, I'll translate my notes just in case.

Decorative swordpiece or without?
I'm bad with rear view. So sue me!
Inactive State
Beam Sword
Active State
Or
Customized Beam Sabre Concept - Hilt
Battle Shield Concept (bit too big, me thinks)
Not easy trying to go with a mechanical revision

As you could see, I came with some different ideas - including the beam sword's active state by borrowing a page from Gundam Epyon's weapon in Gundam Wing. I still have to improve on shading.

Because I was trying to give Kagutsuchi a bit more of a technological look, it wasn't easy trying to replace some organic parts to mechanical. Especially the joints for the jaw! And just to differentiate the two heads, the dragon head at the bottom becomes part of the Battle Shield, has the twin cannon barrels in the mouth, while the Gundam head has a dragon-based helmet. In addition - if it's added, the Gundam's swordpiece is a decoration, not a secondary weapon.

Once again, your suggestions would be helpful in making this Gundam a battle-worthy mobile suit! Though as usual, I might have to put that into scraps later on. The next time I'm working on this mobile suit, it would either be on the limbs, alternate mode, transformation, or some additional parts like wings and/or weapons.

So once again, what do you think so far?
