Always good to see new designs. This one is quite impressive for a first post. I really dig the color scheme, except there seems to be a tad bit too much black. Maybe I only dislike this because black doesn't photograph well. I'm also in love with the back-mounted reactor. Those canisters mounted at angles are awesome. <yoink> :-) The feet are pretty cool too, but overall the legs seem a little disproportionate with the torso; sort of top-heavy looking. But, when you build a mech around a pilot, the big-and-boxy-torso is almost always bound to happen. My only other comment is the arms. The upper arms seem very thin compared to the supersized shoulders and those bearpaw hands (very cool btw). Maybe using different hinging techniques could alleviate this? I know how hard that can be with a small collection. Overall, a great start. Pleased to have you on board. -Chris Oh, yeah, those tail lights are pretty neat too.
