Nice! Reminds me of Metal Gear Gander mixed with the Zone Of The Enders design style

ohsmygosh. i love it. it. is. teh. pwnage. looks more like a destroid redesign to me, though. maybe not as practical as some of the mechwarrior stuff, but definitely more awesome looking than them

!!! You did what I've always wanted to do! Yeah, redesign those godawful mechs!
Looking through your gallery I thought "this looks like somebody who wouldn't like mechwarrior..."
By the way, didja know Mechwarrior artists aren't allowed to keep Japanese artbooks in their workspace? So it's like they're conciously meant to be ugly mangled turds of a machine.
By the way, had you ever heard of the re-rejapanification of Mechs? Years ago FASA tried bringing out Mechwarrior in Japan. They had somebody redesign them. Rather strange since they were all Macross destroids in the first place.
I think you'd like it.

itβs not really a redesign. that was more of a thought that struck me as I was drawing it.
to be fair, I have to point out that their designs werenβt all macross copies, just a few (along with a couple of Dougram designs etc.) since they went trough the trouble of getting approval from the japanese creators of the originals to use them, I find it strange that they would forbid such material in the workplace
and yeah, Iβve seen those before, and I do like βem 
actually, my designs might show up in their own section over at gearsonline in a not too distant future

Absolutely bad ass design. I agree, I never liked the design's of the mech's in Mechwarrior... laim was the only word that came to mind.

They kinda look like odd angular objects stuck together in some humanoid fashion.
"oh thatβs swell. now sprinkle on som gun thingies"

indeed a drastic improvment over mechwarrior.

I didnβt design this with mechwarrior in mind, but couldnβt help thinking about it with those weapon mounts instead of arms.
of course, itβs also a bit similar to Tekki/Steel battalion, but the mechs in that game already look insanely cool

i personally dont see much point to mechs having arms with hands. tends to be simply somehting that is added to make them look cooler, but is lacking in practicality
π: 0 β©: 1
well I guess it depends on the role they are intended for. in some cases hands can be practical. also I wouldnβt like too control a mech with a direct brain control without hands

true true, one of the reasons im a fan of partial brain control. but i also lean towards less human-esque designs. donno if youve looked but almost all of mine are quad legged dual gun types that are more along the lines of a walking tank than a ultra heavy soldier made of metal

Iβve always imagined my mecha being made out of some type of super strong plastic polymer . and they are all rather small, more along the lines of a high tech armour for guerilla warfare.
Iβm not much for human-like mechas either, but I rather try to get away from that with odd proportions
I have made a few quadlegged walking tanks myself, and if Iβll manage to dig βem up Iβll upload some of them.

i had imagined yours mecha as lightwights. they look like they would be about 15'-20' in hight just from the way the lines work
the odd proportions is one of the reasons i like yours so much, they look almost like they would have trouble standing but at the same time there is no reason they couldnt and its rather impressive.
but seeing how your style takes a quad legger would be quite a sight, i deffinetly would like to see one of those

I actually traded in my copy of mechassault 2 for another game. It was good fun, but the game was so damn ugly it ruined the gameplay
