"Surrounded and running low on ammunition, a TA-6 armored hardsuit conceals itself behind a building in an attempt to hide from a pursuing enemy tank, however its thermal signature is a dead giveaway to its location."Related content

Tank shoot through building. Mech is left without a leg. Mech pilot is left looking stupid.Β Β

Way to go BW, I feel like each piece you create gets more and more realistic, keep up the great work

YES!
Very cool mech design. And i dig the little battle scenario.
1 little unsolicited suggestion; color scheme between the mech and tank are somewhat similar. I'd make the color difference between them more dramatic, to emphasize the idea of enemy factions.Β Β

Thanks Rob! Great point about the color schemes, they are quite similar now that you mention it.
I suppose technically they would both have pretty similar schemes due to the area they're operating in, but you're right about them being a bit too close in style. If I do something similar to this scene I'll make sure they're more different next time.

From a tactical POV, you're totally right. Their camo is doing it's job. (I'm haunted by the voice of internalized art directors telling me stuff like this though -how to make stuff pop, enhance design, readability, etc..)
I find that Camo is always the enemy of composition. It's purpose is to make something invisible, or visually confusing. But that's the exact opposite of a designer's job. So you need to cheat it somehow. Actually, putting those vines behind the mech like you did is a perfect step in that direction.Β Helps push him away from that wall.
Anyway, I notice you've got nearly 3,500 views on this sucker already! So like....

I second that camo is the enemy of composition! I actually experimented with giving the tank some barracuda camouflage netting and even putting on a sort of vine camouflage pattern to match with the buildings, but it worked too well to the point where it was almost invisible from afar so I instead settled with this simple two-tone camo pattern.
And thank you kindly! I'm honestly surprised how well this piece has done.

How come I have a feeling the tank is gonna aim at the groin area. And it seems the loader is sooo gonna talk about it at the pub.

That depends if the loader actually makes the hit and the mech doesn't shoot back.

Well all I know that everyone would be talking about it.

I'll be honest with you: I'm rooting for the tank.
