I've realized why your drawings are the few mech drawings in my favorites list: You're the only one that puts them in action. Everyone else just draws them standing there, doing nothing, without even a background.

I'm glad. I think that's the best way to portray a mech: being used in action.

Hmm, is he shooting from a dropship or fortication? Otherwise I'd be a bit unsure about having mudhoppers around him, seeing that a sniper usually chooses a desolate position with good view, and the footpads couldn't help him, anyway.

IMHO, the colouring could be improved, though; I don't really know how, I'm not an deviant of drawn arts, but the colours just don't seem to be right.

this was a hard piece to do. i wanted it to appear as if a small group of rebels were hiding out in some ruined ship sniping a road on the desert floor down below... the colors were also limited by what colored markers i had atm. actually, somebody colored it for me and did a awesome job... i have the pic, but it has been sense taken off the guy's servers

Well, seen tactically, I wouldn't give up my hideout for a sniper shot, but yes, one can think something from the picture like that. I was just thinking a bit too straightforward.

Well, and if you can't reach that guy per mail, just put it up somewhere yourself and link it from the deviation?

I think the best color for the desert sky would be a hazy kind of pale yellow, turning more orangish as it decends to the horizon. And personally I think the arm looks fine. It's a mech, not like it's restricted to human poportions. I love the texture on him. Is it supposed to be camo?
Lovely work here.

thanks for the color suggestions.... now to find the right combo of markers... as to the camo, yeah it was all done using 4 colors. i went over all core parts with warm grey 10% around 5-6 times and than colored the camo in with 30% and 50%. i think it looks pretty good imo. thanks for the comment.

I really like this mech design. I do not see a problem with the arm, look's good to me. I think this will be very cool when finished!

i think i found out what i don't like about the arm. usually, the mech would be leaned over the gun aiming, but hes basically aiming using the camera on the side... so thats what i think messes it up

Wow, awesome. *.* Great coloring. Ways to make the desert maybe adding some slight gray or perhaps tones of the sand sinking or making hillier areas perhaps...then again I'm not good at coloring sand. Keep it up.
