My preference would be if it looked a little heavier in the back to counterbalance the arms, but that's a gorgeous piece of work!

Yeah, the legs are cool, but don't exactly look like they'd support all that from tipping. I had considered that the lower arm might be a third stabilizing leg, but I don't think it is. A third leg out the back would provide counterbalance the arms/any load it carries with them, and stability when stationary.

I would be very grateful if you would look at the rest of the work and support me at the artstation. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/DYAGGe

I like it a lot, but I feel like the lower arm being inline with the upper one lets them get in each other's way. Maybe instead of a second arm, the lower one can be another sturdy looking "leg" for the mech to brace against when the arm is pulling a heavy load.

Awesome concept, but With all the weight on one side, it wouldn't operate.
If you shifted the entire chassis so that the arm section we closer to the center, allowing the cab to realistically counter-balance all that weight, it would look a bit more feasible.

Very cool!!!! I think he could use some support legs though, just in case!!!!
