Description just a quick sketch and colors for a concept mech. Its sort of a reboot of an old story.This is definitely a drastic step in a different direction for the story. Before the mechs were humanoid, but now I realize that its very cliche as well as hard to draw and come up with, especially if a person has to fit in it. So instead I did this, a two-piloted vertical tank. The first pilot is the driver and the second pilot controls the missile pods/attachments and heavy rail gun. the main pilot can use the arms to hold guns or do other tasks and the secondary pilot can open the top hatch and use the ant infantry gun mounted on top. These babies can fly with the large engines on the back.but they have a limited fuel source, so flying is mostly only used for getting in, and getting out of the mission. BUT some can be retrofitted with a large booster pack, allowing them to fly longer.

Also pilots are specifically tested to work well together and have to go through months of training to work well and trust each other.


ya sorry for long description but I thought it was a cool idea.
ALSO, open canvas is amazing for slapping on wuick colors that look great!

one thing i don't like about the this design is the windowed cockpit, like the mechs in avatar it makes the pilot very very very vulnerable

I see what you mean, but I feel that in the future where these could be built, they could figure out a way to build and treat glass well enough to stop armor piercing rounds

For some reason, I feel like making a G.I. Joe reference...

...And giant-ass walking tanks with unneccessary amounts of firepower is half the battle!


G.I JOE!!!!

Sup, man? Been gone awhile, and I've made my home at YouTube. I'd be around here more, but I only got my PS3. The mobile DevART bites ass and the normal version crashes my PS3 sometimes.

So, yeah. Life.

It's a bitch.

Anyway, I'll try to pop by now and then, but I won't be around much. Sorry. :/

I wish, but I have no experience in that area, unless you count little 2D computer games like pac-man and things, LOL
