Bryce - could you add a picture of a closeup of agiels head for us? I
really like it, but I want moore...
Eric - I think the Cubs face puts me very much in mind of the
Transformers autobot look, it is different from your other mecha's
faces - which always seemed (if you dont mind the crit) a little
strangely shaped to me. I note you are still haveing fun with
photoshop. One of these days, you are gonna have to do some photoshop
+ stop motion with a mecha to show off its posability in a small
clip...I think the colour scheme really does give the impression of
utilitarian miltitary gear, beyond the few bits of trans-green, which
show up well.
The bulky should joint covers give the impression of bulk and well
armoured, while the thin waistline gives the impression of agility.
The feet look good, but possibly a little too small to support the
bulk of the mech properly. I cant help but wander if a little more
armour overlap over the click hinges for the toe caps would improve
the look a little.
I find the strange doubled tube look of the fingers appealing, and the
hands really look the part, plus that looks like a very posable (and
opposable) thumb! What is that between the /other/ two 1x1 on the
thumb - between the clip parts with a concave surface?
The body cavity for the pilot is nice - it would be great if there was
an upper flap which hung over. The brain case is kind of cool.
Anyway - I like it that you provided a nice big desktop sized pic, and
I am making it my work desktop for now... Keep it up Eric.
Danny
