Very cool, but a massive gatling gun would look really cool or atleast something that resembles a turret

There's the missle pod on the right side of the chassis, I didn't want to go much beyond that and the smoke launchers.

This is the first mech I've drawn with this style, we'll see how the rest of the series goes.

Pretty bulky for a recon mech... Start with the sketches of the power unit, (exo)skeleton (depending on how you want your mech to be built :D), armor plating, weaponry, as you add each layer on.

;)

P.S. That thing better have jump jets.

EDIT: I can't tell if the thing is facing backward or forward due to the hip section. :p And, the mech doesn't look balanced (too much mass behind the legs).

I wish I could draw like that. And be able to do that at work, no less.

6.7/10.

That's a harsh score:)

Cause no nude art on the mech, it's like big tuck mud flaps, they have to be of ladies and so do mechs need such a graphic. :D

Make me wish I could draw and not just for the nude part :p

I like it. I'm interpreting it as a symbol of freedom. The lack of any weapons symbolizes the uprising of the common man against the government in a peaceful resistance. The shadow represents the undercurrent of violence in society, yet the exactly 3 toes on each foot means that the violence is handicapped by the proximity of humanity's existence within the monstrous head of the machine. However, I cannot fathom what the lack of arms on this robotic monstrosity means. I'm feeling a vibe of helplessness, but maybe it's meant to show frustration, as a robot that can never even pleasure itself because of its lack of appendages.

Those aren't missiles. They're actually peacemaker confetti rockets. It's a diguise, sort of like how this robot is supposed to be menacing, but in reality there is a kindhearted and warm human beneath the metallic surface. It's teaching us to not judge a book by its cover. In the robot's universe, it would be don't judge a robot's pilot by the robot he controls. It's quite brilliant.
