Just posting a throwback (recoloured, of course) to fill the void of apparent inactivity.
I'm currently working on a whole load of graphics /overlays ATM so I haven't been doing a lot of illustration.

#mechatober2025 no 28, Crystal.
My original idea for this one was sub-par so, in a way, I'm glad I left it until waaay late to do it properly; I think this one has some neat elements to it that I'd like to improve on in the future.

I refuse to accept this new month's attempt to stop me getting everything finished on schedule :D

Made a slightly snowman-looking mech with icicle spikes, quilted jacket, and tacticool-snood.

It's basically a skating mech with jet engines for fists, that naruto-runs.
I like the idea, not so much the execution, so it's one I'll return to at another point.

#mechatober 20, Tread.
I don't know why, after the monowheel tank, I was struggling for an idea for tread: All I had to do was design a robot that used the instability of a trike to ruin the functionality of a tank! :D

#mechatober2025 22, Hollow.
My initially thoughts were along the lines of Zakat; a big hollow sphere type mech. Glad I persisted, as I prefer this idea. It's based on the Brazen Bull.

#mechatober2025 19, Flame.
This one took too long because all I could think about was a robot with it's head on fire.
Think I did enough to make it seem a little interesting, but it's probably one that could do with a revisit to push the idea a bit further.

#mechatober2025 17, Duelist.
Had a very wild train of thought going for this one; an oversized revolver with a basket hilt wrapped around the mech's body.
It's not a combat mech, but designed exclusively for competition shooting (at another mech).

#mechatober2025 No. 12 - Bio.
I guess I put a fair few "bio" elements in my designs anyway so, for this one, I just turned them up a little bit; more teeth, tongue body, and a pumpkin colour-scheme to appear suitably spoopy.

#mechatober2025, 09 - Toxic.
Went with something based on one of those frogs you shouldn't lick (more than all the other frogs you also shouldn't lick). They're poisonous but that counts as toxic, right?

#Mechatober2025 no 7, Fantasy, was obvious: had to be a wizard mech.
But another thought was floating around my head; "what if Hat, but also... Zock?"

#Mechatober2025 no 6 - Experimental. And it's a bone-armoured monowheel-tank.
I have to admit, I got a bit stuck on what would actually make something -look- experimental. Best I could come up with was something that looked so obviously destined to fail it could never be more than an experiment.

Goddamnit! It's only Thomas the Tank Engine again. I think my default colour-scheme settings need rebooted.
Anyways, it's Mechatober2025 no 5: Scavenger.
I figure it puts fancy bits in the container on its back and has a limited ability to carry things while mono-wheeling about.

No 4. Antique... Ball gown? It's all I could come up with and it has, by far, the largest teeth I've ever put on a robot.

And, apparently, nothing screams "mercenary" to me more than a demented Thomas the Tank Engine enthusiast.
I had to put some orange on the top to try and break that vibe down a little bit :D
