Legato VS. Cucaracha

[cucaracha]

*drums*

I announce the duel between Cucaracha and Legato!

Facts for our theme:

- A clumsy, "steampunk" walker/mechanoid
no matter if radio controlled, with cockpit, robotic, whatev

- Any medium, no matter if b/w or colored
- At least one "finished" illustration of the walker/mecha
- At least two sketches/WIPs
- As many rough concepts as both of us could provide :)

edit: About the weapons:

For distance weapons: Should be reduced to conventional projectile weapons such as cannons, guns or bows.

For melee weapons: Swords and hammers and such roxxors da boxxors.

No modern missiles or nuclear weapons of course!
But remember oldschool-chinese-firecracker-rockets :D

The arena is opened!

well... here it is in it's inked form... i know i know i said i would make a different design, but.

a) iv had no time and no inspiration
and...
b) your (cucaracha's) mech is very streamlined...

also, the rules didn't make it a steampunk and imo my mech is pretty lumbering... i got a new set of prisma markers (cool grey 10%-black) so im praying i don't screw the pooch... anyway... hope this is ok
