Nice, the flames in the background are a nice touch, but...

Nice art, although I must admit that these days most folks seeing the title "Centurion combat robot" will be thinking "Cylon".
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!
Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

Guilty as charged.

But that's a nice drawing of the old BattleTech Mech

Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

The CN9 didn't have a shoulder cannon, it's right arm was the AC. :)

I like the grills on the guns, aircooled machineguns always give me a gritty WWII impression.

One thing i might comment on is the exposed ammo belt coming out of the back; exposed machinery looks cool, but i'm sure a little armour there would be good for avoiding an easy disabling of the big gun. One rationalisation would be that it was poorly designed by bureucratic screwup and all the pilots cut it off in the field.

It looks more like a 'Hunchback' then a Centurion if your comparing it to a BattleTech mech.


RE OP: Fantastic Artwork, btw.
