Artist's Comments
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. Comments
Nice mecha concept, and the idea is sound. It gives the piece a contemporary feeling, like on the way to developing the humanoid mechas (which I personally love so much but I'm beginning to like these as well).
One thing though, from your description, it would either have to have a large crew, which I don't think there is enough room for, or a very sophisticated computer network to operate all the different weapons and threat ID systems. If the latter, I hope to God it doesn't catch a virus! impressive!! Smooth and crisp!

Mohzart I didn't notice the shadow over the piece when you were showing me it last night. very cool. Makes it feel like its in a canyon.

and yeah the whole thing is computer controlled and all of the risks that pose should balance out with the rewards. if anything there could be one pilot but that wasn't intended -- -Contact me for commission info- -AIM: Legato895- -Email: commissions@michaelkingery.com- Well, i'm sorry, but you sent me a link of kittens playing together, and I got side tracked... What the fuck do you want from me? I'm only carbon...
