i really like the feel of this. The render makes it feel like its out of team fortress 2. Got a lot of solid pieces and textures. Keep up the good work

As much as I enjoy your regular style of art and rough sketches, this technique sure ain't no drag either! The PS render over 3D is a very interesting look. The matte coloring looks great, and indeed a tank shouldn't be too shiny.

I get what you're saying about the semi-primitive design, but that's a particular mech style which I tend to enjoy. Makes the vehicle look very pragmatic and functional, like a relic from some mechified Cold War era. (kinda like this guy: [link] ) IMO, it is harder to design mechs this way... with realism and engineering in mind. The farther in the future you go, the more outrageous mechs can be... like in Z.O.E. The more realistic clunkier ones are tougher to conceive.

Hope this means we'll see some more of this style from you. *As a personal preference, would love to see coloring of the line-art style bottom views. If it were me, I'd be very tempted to color those just using multiply layers (just laying color under the pre-shaded line art). Would be a quick and easy way to knock out color study.

Thank you for the hearty Mech Fix!!!

Ah, I see your affinity for Armored Core style is showing...well done sir, the 3d look has never been my favorite, i prefer concept or character design style (thats why im a big fan of yours) but you pulled it off nicely in the end. The way you colored it makes it look much nicer and "real" than i usually see, I hate that plasticy shiny look alot of 3d has.

No, yours is much more matte, almost looks colored in marker. Very nice. The whole design is superb. As Ive always said you and I think alike when it comes to certain design styles and elements. I like the roll/saftey bars on the cockpit glass, a cool touch. A tank probably wouldnt have glass, but it does have sort of a mecha aspect as well, so it still fits nicely. I also like the missle racks on the back, a nice additional armament. Very practical. Looks altogether like a well thought out and useful machine.

I look foward to more as always.

It looks really good. Perhaps some more detail on the exposed hip and knee bearings, just so they look more like they work. Oh and light shine on the glass cockpit would be good too I think.

Very nice though!
