Fire mech

Hey, it's the new guy again.
This is the same mech from my post in the sketch/doodle page, but I spent a little more time on this one.

Suppose it's not bad for someone who's only been using painter for a week, eh?

C&C anyone?

Supposed to be extremely agile and small enough to operate in corridors and sort of fold up for...uh....easy storage.:)

C&C is greatly welcomed.
Great to be here guys.

I'd give it a 3rd toe in the back for balance.

Actually, there sort of is a third toe, it's long and flat, I guess it's hard to see, you can see it better on the right leg in the third image....but I suppose I need to work on conveying concepts better.
Thanks.

Dont mind him, he has been posting unintelligable remarks in alot of peoples threads as of late. This concept is pretty cool, I like that you developed it out with a couple of views. I do have a general crit however, I see alot of hesitation in both the linework and the coloring job, what I mean is that it looks like you go over your lines alot of times and in your painting you use an extra small brush. Typically it improves with practice but something to be aware of, you may want to try a few sketches where every line you want you do in one or two strokes. Then after you have the drawing done you can go back over lines that you want to be thicker if your trying to achieve line variation. With the coloring, this is a pretty nice job for only one weeks worth of practice, I am not really familiar with painter since I have only used Photoshop but try using a slightly bigger brush and perhaps at a harder setting if you know what I mean. The frontal picture that you colored has alot of fuzziness in it, I suppose it is personal preference but it seems to me that a sharper image looks more professional. Experiment with different brushes and see which ones give you the kind of blending that you want.

These are just some suggestions, whatever you do dont stop drawing, Your amount of improvement is directly related to the amount of effort and time you expend. :thumbsup:
