Feel free to crit, even if it's opinion about
"Well, I prefer more angular shapes and I think it looks too EVA.."
The depicted character is 18+ years of age.
This is not a scene that respects canon of Turbo Killer?

Neat looking, but that front shield kind of stops the gun turret from being to have any sort of depression. I guess he only shoots things taller than him?
It's cute!
Though your going to compare it to mecha anime, it looks more like an orbital frame than an Eva unit.
Looks like it moves very fast and very feral. You can picture it moving like a very mobile wolf or tiger. I like it.
I started on super robots and have been going backwards to more blocky or mass produced robot with my recent RP place. So I am garnering an appreciation for different body types. Seems like a good scout machine to me. You don't need fine manipulators on a solely battle craft. Seems like it should have a better sensor suite on top unless that is something else. I am trying to pick out some thing I don't like and I can't. I like the shading effects. I like the motion blur. I like the shape. I honestly would consider commissioning you for straight robot art if my current characters machine wasn't a blocky as hell Armored Core.
Reminds me of something from the more recent Metal Gears, actually. Especially 4 and Rising: Revengeance.
Though regardless of similarities to other stuff (which is not a bad thing), it does look really cool. I like all the detailing and shifting lines on the plates. That swivel camera on top mounted near the turret adds a surprising amount of plausibility to the design as well; looks suited to remote observation or control.
I think it looks cool!
Reminds me a bit of Blade Wolf from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, but with a mounted cannon instead of a chainsaw :P
I love machines designed like living things. All the sleek, exquisite precision of a machine packed within the primal ruthlessness of an animal. It's several layers of Stupid Sexy.
I love mechs. Hardest thing to draw. I hope u make more i really like the cyber futuristic stuff. Clean or not.
They are bizarrely hard and not hard to draw.
Like take gundam type robots or even armored core robots: They're incredibly stylized and unrealistic. If you can keep that in mind, then they feel far more approachable. There are genres where they attempt to render the machinery and stuff like 008th MS Team and some versions of Macross, but they can inform how you can limit yourself in your own designs as well instead of adding more and more gun!
So yeah.. I guess it's like.. Have a lot of references on hand for schematic reasons, but mostly inspirational reasons!
There are things like the keloids as well that try to make their robots look more realistic, but also show how you can start to depart from the human form as the base of robotics...
Sooo.. Yeah! I mean. Like. You can do a lot with robotics. They have a broad range of shapes to fill based on their built purpose.
Perhaps it's choice-paralysis? Hmm hmm.
Definitely have to have your imagination used to the style or genre. References is crucial for sure.
I always had that fetish for sci-fi and future mech or city scape style but have to use a shit ton of geometry like point perspectives and body structure. Not saying its impossible and i will definitely do it but i can see it being a load of work. Ive seen artists go nuts but looking at their stuff including your work makes the brain inspired.
Evangelion and Ghost in The Shell (series) would be my references. Gundam too but havent watched any of the cartoons yet.
I recommend since you like mechs, try looking up mechs from the Front Mission games 1-5.
The wanzers were so kool.
Haha it's almost always work. Accepting that explorative aspect of it is very important. Not every little sketch is worth finishing, but... it is part of an experiment working toward something that is worth finalizing... if that makes sense.
It's finding something worth finishing by experimenting with the same subject in different angles, different poses, positions, and then pouring the effort of refining only a few of those attempts to find the magic. idk.
OOO FUCK MAN HE BIG AND MEAN
shit this is so cool fuck i love how you did the fiery-blast out the back propulsion thingy. the jointing is all so cool too and the motion affects are so good!!! HE GO FAST!!! ZOOOOOOM
A robot doggy that plays a deadly game of fetch!
Love those more organic looking mech designs.
This picture has a great sense of speed too!
This does look really cool! If you do more sketches like this, I'll definitely be looking forward to them!
I keep coming back to look at this one. It is AWESOME !!! I'd love to see this guy blow up all of the things. :D

No huge dicks and ridiculously bloated boobs!? Who are you and what have you done to Naoki!?
Hehe just joking, that's a really slick looking mech.
