Comment on WIP Shadow Production Sketch by mqken
Really great mech design. The upper body looks great, particularly the HUGE ASS RIFLE *drool*.
Not so crazy about the lower body. The crotch is pretty bulgy, though I suppose that would be more realistic. Also, the feet seem too small to support a gun that powerful.
Great color scheme though. Black and Gold is THE BEST of all possible color combinations.
Can't wait to see the finished product!

Yeah I wasn't sure about the lower body part either, especially the feet like you just said. I actually did the leg design twice and was only satisfied with the second attempt. This unit is ofc not built for speed and I explain in the bottom part that the leg parts can be replaced with tracks, which I will include later on in the sketch (If I do get it finished). That track should provide this unit with the mobility if it were to be put on the front lines, and the ability to hold a massive rifle. However this leg design is for "landed operations" meaning aerial drop to specific locations where this unit sets up camp and provide artillery fire. The feet and legs actually adjusts and transforms into a stand for a sniper nest. That was the intended function of this feet design but I'm still not that satisfied with it for reasons you've already stated. I just have a thing for thin mechs : /
Anyway sorry for the rant, and thanks for the advice

Hey, rant away. It's good to see that you put so much thought into the design of the components.I find that in mecha, the why can be just as cool as the what.
Absolutely!
