Every year on March 12th, SD Gundam fans on Twitter post art in honor of "SD Gundam Day", which is the birthday of SD Gundam's creator, Kouji Yokoi and the mangaka of the Knight Gundam Story franchise, Hoshino Ryuichi.

This is the piece I did for today, and I wanted it to be focused on the Knight Gundam series since the new Knight Gundam work is coming for the 35th anniversary.
