Okay since i critique best when im critiquing body part by body part, thats
what im gonna do! ;)
Legs:
like the white armor plates, really blends well with the rest of it. The
ankle guard is very slick, love the daring angles you always take on your
mechs. I think your knees dont qualify in the FSS craziness! Have them
outjut a bit more and build them so they go past the knee, not just stop at
it, it gives it more japanese style. The thighs are kind of plain, they fit
but i think it would be cooler with mayeb some slope bricks in the middle or
something.
Feet:
The feet go hecka good with this mech, fits perfectly, but i think you
should take off the really steep slope brick, either turn it over, or add a
2x1 slope brick to the front of the toe, i personally think it would look
better.
Hips:
Love the armor, like how the thigh armor hangs from the hips and not from waist.
Torso:
Well, i REALLY like the top half of the torso, but i dont think the bottom
of it really matches it. So skinny and stuff, maybe rework it and make it
shorter? Or you could just steal one of sun yuns torso :D
Arms:
AWESOMENESS!!! love these things, maybe put a long slope piece on the end of
em to make em more pointier? thats the only building tip i could give. I
think you should pose the arms differently though, i would think this mech
would be more humanoid. maybe pose him so hes like in a fighting stance, his
elbows are behind his torso, his fists are facing up. I think it kind of
looks unnatural to have his arms out like that.
Head:
double awesomeness! i love it, so simple yet so slick! love the little roman
type head flare piece.
PS take my opinions with a grain of salt, i have no expertise in mecha at all :)
