Currently planning The Hunter, the last painting for the Mercenary Mecha series. And yes, that is a Tyrannosaurus Rex-shaped mech. This mech is built to hunt and eliminate other mecha. At least, that's my excuse for painting a T-rex mech.
Three pilots run this mech, all cybernetically hooked into the controls in some way. One of the three, having suffered life-threatening injuries in the past, is half cyborg; he has a much finer touch when controlling the mech, at the obvious price of being half-machine. The mech itself is equipped with talons built to take a beating and gouge into the weak points of enemy mechs. The shoulder-towers carry anti-mech missiles and surface-to-air missiles. Guns are positioned around the mech to defend it from infantry-sized threats.
In the non-fiction realm of things, I'm relieved to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It'll be good to take a break when this is over.
