That’s a really interesting colour scheme you tried, Kyle. I like it!
The upper half is in your signature style, with the cockpit, the huge
missiles and the antipersonnel gun (below the cockpit). The main cannon is
very nicely constructed, but seems a bit small in comparison with the
ginormous missile pod.
The legs are good, but seem to be angled too steeply. The heavy “foot” makes
them look awkward. From my quadruped and multiped design experience, I can
tell you that legs should either be: a) left without any feet/toes, b) given
splayed toes, c) given a small “pad”. That said, your “feet” do show promise,
but perhaps on a slightly bigger mecha...
Anyways, well done Kyle! I was so happy to see a cockpit on this one. The
trend nowadays seems to be against them! :-)

Thanks for the comments, Mladen. I wanted to come up with something that
emulated the concept art, but still looked very characteristic of my style, and
I’m glad it came across that way. Of course, I also wanted to come up with a
mind-blowing breakthrough design, and I admittedly failed on that score, but I
did get to use some parts I hadn’t used before, which is always a good thing!
