Dai-Mazinger (What-if)

A continuation of a post I made here: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/gJEYme

The rabbit hole is pretty strong with this one. What ppl did not know of Dai-Mazinger was that it was supposed to be animated by AIC back in the 80's but due to the Mazinger franchise having a strong grip by Toei Animation despite Dynamic Productions having license rights to it,denied AIC any rights to animating Dai-Mazinger so it was then scrapped into Hyper Combat Unit Dangaioh. Years later,the concept of Dai-Mazinger would be imagined as Shin Mazinger for TV Animation and the rest is history.

I decided to go back to my sketch and place him into a what-if AIC actually made that Dai-Mazinger project. Here's the result just from replacing Dangaioh with Dai-Mazinger.
