Concepts regarding the third Cyclopean unit: The Overseer

The left sketch was done weeks ago, during exam week , while the right sketch was completed a couple of days ago.

Design notes:
> Original concept was to be a sort of shaman mecha (left), which soon developed into more of a bishop (right)

> Original name was supposed to be the Cyclopean Scribe

> Both designs incorporate the addition of books/tomes as part of their gear, since the Overseer records the names of the warriors who have died (gained redemption) under their command (thus the title 'Scribe')

> Once again, they take after the Warhammer 40k Chaplains who wield powerful maces with different design motifs like more books, scrolls, or skulls

> 1st concept design (left side) is more of a berserker which could fight alongside the Repentors, thus wielding a similar, albeit more powerful, sword as the one used by the Repentors

> 2nd concept design (right side), includes scrolls as part of the design to drive the point of an ancient figure espousing knowledge and the law

Still WIP because I've yet to decide upon the last elements XD

At that point where I was finalizing the design concepts, I was particularly devastated how my armor looked too similar to older works -___-;

Still, whatever works right?

As long as it looks good I guess it's all right, it might become your unique style

Man, I am a sucker for berserkers and giant choppers.

That is one hefty blade, sir!

I love how you draw mecha calves. I suppose that's a bit of an odd thing to say, but the angles are really good!

Thanks

The calves are one of the more complex things I draw when still coming up with the basic framework

I have them angular so I wouldn't be left with a very bulky figure

Thanks

They're most likely the ones who will lead the charge for the Emperor's forces when Xeranad finally unleashes hell upon Angel Falls
