Mecha Assembly eXperience

I went in looking for a Titans reproduction, but ended up somewhere much more interesting.

In week ten, I set out with a clear goal: recreate the iconic "Titans" color scheme. I had the palette, the plan, and the vision.

Then, the paint settled.

It wasn't a "failure," but it wasn't what I’d planned. It was subtle. Sinister. Almost hidden. My first instinct was to strip it and try again—but I paused.

I realized that this deeper, darker base wasn't a mistake—it might just be the perfect foundation for the "reality rip" and synthwave glitch effects I’m planning for the next phase.

Perhaps if I had stuck to the original, the high-contrast Titans blue, those neon glitches would have fought the base for attention. Now? I think they’re going to be framed by it.

Sometimes the gap between what we envision and what we end up with is the exact place where growth happens. I’m leaning into the "Messy Middle" and trusting the process. 🙌
