So I kind of hate the Black Knight because to me its design is a cardinal sin of selling the illusion of Battletech scale. (lemmy.world)

It looks like someone wearing a human-sized robot suit instead of a 10m tall mech. So when one came in the pack that I won for a comp, I decided to illustrate this by making it a robot suit of armor. I present Iron Knight.

I've never been a fan of the "it's a human" shaped mechs with the possible exception of the Atlas. You're allowed to have one. It might be because I discovered Battletech in the 90's and the clans came with shit like the Timber Wolf and Mad Dog and Dire Wolf and such; even somewhat human mechs like the Summoner are weird and mechanical and not "a dude in a suit."
