The Commander Concept Sketches

The Commander is the fourth painting in the Mercenary Mecha series, and I plan to finish it in a week.  That would be twice to three times faster than the previous paintings.  Wish me luck.


This mech is a helicopter carrier–as in a carrier ship–that a team of ambitious engineers hauled out of the water, patched up, stuck legs and a torso on, and called it good.  While it is equipped with a battleship turret, anti-aircraft guns, and missile launchers, this thing is primarily a support mech.  The arms can telescope to pick salvage off the ground, or move helicopters around on deck, or (in emergencies) throw heavy objects at nearby enemies.
