Kid: That fixed it!!

Or something about MultiMC

I had a chance today to make a few very rough sketches of my take on the Cronus.
The front view of the cockpit and a bit of the torso

The same bit in profile

The general, poorly drawn shape. It wasn't supposed to be this round.

And a more proportional one

Cats.... why is your mech wearing high heels?

Also, if Levi variants are now a thing, I put forth the suggestion of an anti-air Leviathan. (Re: Quad 25mm also re: more dakka).

Shall do rough sketches soon I thinks.

High heels?

I think, if the original leviathan is artillery, the gun should get a bit of an overhaul.

Those are retracted during locomotion. Point slightly invalid.

Better example

As for Leviathan, it wasn't really made for artillery, that's just what it ended up working best as. Although the gun will pass for a 152mm howitzer easily, but I might make a bigger one for the MKII series. Currently I'm planning a Flak/anti-air variant and an anti-infantry type thing like the stormlord.

Assuming I don't just make separate chassis for them all anyway. Or scrap the whole thing and make modular tanks.


As for the mech, I kinda like the head so far, but the shape for the body and legs are not doing it for me I'm afraid.

Yeah, I'm not digging that shape of the torso much, either. I'll play with it a little more, get something nicer. But I think you should consider making the shape of the leg different from the digitigrade-style, because all of the other ones so far have had that same basic leg design. Only one knee joint might make it seem a little heavier.

... I'll keep trying.

Manus was working in this. I don't know what happened about it though.

I might even have a go myself.

Oh, pictures were kind of important.

*.jpg

First off, I have a main profile shape that's a little closer to your original design, albeit somewhat more angular and scythlike (more or less an accidental tribute to Chronos). I'm also thinking that, since there's so much room on the front center section, the cockpit could curve under the torso, so that it has a transparent floor.

Front portion:

The back is different in profile from the original because of my other idea: a kind of cobra-esque hood made up of multiple, jointed slabs of armor. It's a unique addition that'd create a kind of organic, skeletal feel and really make this mech stand out.

Here's a sketch of the back-view of the hood.
Spoiler:
Image
I'll draw it from the side as well when I'm less tired. I'm thinking that the panels will get progressively shorter as they continue to the fore and curve around the shoulders.

And here's the profile with the back section, roughly showing the entire torso's shape. The hollow area in the hook would contain the shoulders.
