I don't know the back story on this guy but it's a fantastic sculpt (we need more robots!) and Mark's treatment...WOW!

I looked up the artist: SAKABASHIRA IMIRI and was instantly blown away! Fine art in the guise of anime/manga and more...this guy is amazing!

Other than the mouth (reminds of Sky Deviler) I really like the sculpt! The paint job is okay.

It's ok. Some parts look very clean and refined, I guess mechanical and sculpted with the precision you would expect for a robot. Then other parts look a little crude like the vents on the body and the top of the face. I don't think the styles mesh well. Would have liked it to be either super clean or all somewhat crude.
Love the paint though.
