like everything i've ever drawn ever i liked this allot more half way through than i do now. also like everything i've ever drawn even though i say its done thats really just a way for me to cope with pictures. as most of my drawings show in comments full of "edits" - final doesn't really mean anything to me. if you have an insightful enough comment i'll try to adapt to it.
that said im not going to redraw it or anything X_X!
an evolution of this forlorn piece [link] this is defiantly a mech frame i am going to keep returning too as i think it holds much promise. essentially its upper torso has no front and can swivel in any way to allow rocket pods and other hull mounted weapons to fire at a target. all the while 4 independent miniguns seek out infantry and light vehicle threats while the main gun gets into position and fires.
i was playing around with a lot of ideas for this, but i think it's ok as it is. no need to get it more complicated. from incoming missiles slamming into some rocks offscreen, to a small group of aliens hiding behind the rock getting ready to attack it to a burning apc instead of the rock in the foreground. this is what i ended up with.
The world needs more mechs that aren't strictly humanoid. This is a great example of how practicality outpaces familiarity. In fact, the whole lack of anything to relate to makes this all the more alien -- and all the more unnerving. I'd definitely love to see this in action... at least, not against me. ;D
or was it artillerie?
