Heh, Well It's still my least favorite part but you did a great job based on
that image. What anime (manga?) is that from? I'm glad that you didn't do
the little tiny arms ;) I like the propotions of your mech better. while
that mech is neat, it's arms legs and head seem way to small for it's
emmence body.

I didn't even think about the order of the photos, since (when I check out others' pages) I usually just pick the ones I like most... The similarity of the shoulder (...)
