Nice. The Bley/Grey look works well on a mech. It gives it that
metallic utilitarian look.
This mech says it means business - and is design for close range
destruction (with the large heavy weight arms - good for smashing),
while having serious ranged firepower to cover itself while getting in
to do the damage. I suppose the curves give it a musclebound look.
I like the cockpit- the domes behind it make me think of a fly or
insect. Very powerful and clunky feel.
Good work Jon.
