Nice that you like itKhyronTheBackstabber wrote:Antares...
That armored Alien, packing heat, is one of the most bad assed things, I have seen in a while. Two thumbs up.
Once, i was eager to present the unit with descriptions in here.
But i put that thought away because i suspect i'd just get flamed for it.
@TheMuffinKing
Just some random things which came to my mind:
1.You should add reactive armor plates to your mechs.
Those would make sense i guess.
2.What about a 4 or 6 leged mech?
3.The overall form should be a little more rounded
Otherwise nice drawing. Keep it up

Thanks for the tips! My walking tank, and one of my mechs have E.R.A., but need a wee bit more detail. I will draw another!

This is a quick sketch of a mech made of components of a helicopter gunship. It's rough and quick, both in style and proposed function!

Yeah, the torso exaclty looks like what i had in mind with "rounded"TheMuffinKing wrote: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/ ... CF2614.jpg
But i think the legs are a little bit too short
Very nice work

Three mechs with this update!
This first one is a 2nd generation AFVW 1:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/ ... CF3142.jpg
The second mech is an older Soviet WT-66b outfitted with "Kontakt" E.R.A. and a modified "Shtora" defensive suite.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/ ... CF3143.jpg
Lastly we have the cyborg infantry of the Martian Machine Corps with an unidentified cannon.

Bloody hell. These are really good. I'm not a mecha fan, at least not those bigger than a tank(WH40k Titans don't count! :p ). But these are just the sort of practical-looking mecha I can imagine. Not too big, not too flimsy, and a real "nuts & bolts" style that I like.
Draw more.

Thanks for the input. If you're interested, I get a lot of inspiration from Anime like "Full Metal Panic", "Gasaraki", "Giant Robo", and "Votoms". I also research current armored vehicles and military tactics...over all I am a tank nerd !
Here's some more to whet your appetites!

This is a further development of the armored loader concept, with an arm mounter 20 mm cannon.

UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE!
Now that I have your attention... Here's an Avenger, in a really dark setting. Thank you photoshop!
This is the "Fats Widebody", this combat robot is equipped to defeat light armor and support infantry ops from a remote and secure location.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/ ... CF2612.jpg
Number 12, is a tech demonstrator used to showcase the latest in A.I. in a heavily armored shell. It is also the heavily armored cousin of the Tacit Ind. security bot. Regrettebly Number 12 never found a buyer.

Tacit Ind. Security bot, low cost solutions for security concerns.

The Unknown mecha...a mystery!

This one doesn't look like it was made by Humans. I'm getting a strange Eldar vibe from it.TheMuffinKing wrote: The Unknown mecha...a mystery!

Top Secret!
Top Secret!
New! Smuggled from the secret design works of the Antares and TheMuffinKing alliance...Blueprints and prototypes of an upcoming superproject. These many prototypes represent the idea exchange between Antares and Myself over the past few weeks. The final product is shaping up to be quite spectacular...
Heres the first concept sent by Antares.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/ ... hCoOp1.gif
This is an armored overlay I drew.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/ ... hCoOp2.jpg
The red sketch, a rough preliminary...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/ ... hCoOp3.jpg
A more detailed frontal view, with all sorts of cool stuff. This basically outlines the first proposed concept.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/ ... hCoOp4.jpg
Finally, an isometric view of our first concept...unfinished.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v282/ ... hCoOp7.jpg
These are just a teaser, a what might have been. I don't want to spoil the real surprise!
