I went ahead and did major improvements to the Star Knight mech concept.
While I do wish that I could draw the more bulky mechs, I feel like this is the most I can muster. I looked into mechs from Patlabor, Macross/Robotech and all the way to G1 Transformers complete with a small figure on the side for size comparison.
The cockpit is located at the top of the head, inside the red visor. I was inspired by a shoot em up for the Mega Drive called "Arrow Flash".
