I realise I messed up in a few places, but hopefully it's worth posting.

Something must be wrong because I can neither see the pictures when I click the link, nor does the website come up.

Hm. You're right. Filesmelt is probably down again which isn't exactly surprising. Hold on a second.

Looks nice, but it doesn't seem all that dynamic. put some smoke and streams and particles flying that bring out the direction of flight or something.

Doesn't really look like it's moving but otherwise it's a very cool drawing.

Thanks guys. I was going to add more effects (dust, background, motion-blur etc.) when in Photoshop as I'm better at effects made digitally.

The right thigh (his right) could use some different shading, as could the right arm. Other than that I like it.

Dayyum, pretty nice but I think the right arm is in a bad place, took me a second to see it.

Thanks for the critiques guys.

Nice, but would be better sith somekind of background, and a tad bit of colour.

Reppin the greater good. Word. I have a clay ashtray that I wrote Greater Good on in Tau.

Yeah, I suck at making up poses. I hope you don't suspect me of some form of plagiarism though. As for saying it's moving backwards... I don't really think that matters - it's just the thread title.

it looks like a big box with scrawny legs. not saying it's a bad drawing, just saying it's an awful mech design

Pretty good recreation. Proportions are right, and shading is propper.

Thanks fellas.
