Two different views.


The model is pretty much finished now. Unless there are any suggestions
I'll release it on my webpage in the next week.
Anyone?


Enjoy!

<two bits>
a part of me likes this a lot, while another part of me doesn't.  it
took a while, but i think i figured out what bothers me.  the legs are
traditional mech type, which, while jointed differently, have a
distinctly human feel to them.  this makes me expect human style arms in
addition to the wings.  you obviously don't want arms, otherwise you
would have put them on, in which case, i would've expected the legs to
be more bird-like (i.e. talons instead of big feet, or even tracked feet
that are somehow claw-like?).  everything above the waist is cool,
especially since you changed the wings.  the feathers are a nice touch
too.  they give it a 'tribal' feeling.

p.s.  did you get an email from me about image mapping a few weeks ago? 
i didn't hear back from you, so thought i'd ask. :(

OUCH!  Jpg compression hurt the lasers!  but great work all around!

	This just goes to show how much camera position can chage the sense of
scale... The first one looks like a toy, but I wouldn't want to be faced
with the second one.

	Nice work

Longer wings! Is this the fledgling?
Superb in every other way.

I'd suggest a very little bit longer for the wings... they could also be in
different positions...  like if the mech could fly but with no reactors... that
would be amazing...

I also dislike the idea of lasers...  You were very innovative with that kind of
mech, why don't you continue with the weapons?  Razor blade claws would be
definately nice...  blades that can cut steel like butter...

Innovative? You want Innovative?  Here, eat this. :)

The weapons are Infinite Ionic Repeaters.  In short,  Lightning guns.  The
lasers are neccesary to ionize the air, thus providing a path for the
lightning to follow.  The "tightness" of the laser beams can also be
adjusted, making pinpoint strikes and wide area damage possible.  There is
only one drawback to this weapon, which is it's inability to function in a
vacuum.  Some of the strengths of the IIR is the massive physical damage,
alongside the electro-magnetic circuit damage that results from a direct
hit.  Each has it's own mini-reactor, so the overall energy drain is
minimal.

You like them better now?

No. If the object being attacked is well shielded or grounded the weapon
is useless because the energy is shunted away doing no damage. Commercial
airlines, for example, are specifically designed to take several direct
lightning strikes throught the life of the aircraft which causes no damage
to them.
