'Lodestone' concept: S2 - Iron Fairy

~18x24 acrylic ink, pencil, conté crayon on ripped/crumpled/tea-stained paper

I need to find someone with a large format scanner, the photograph doesn't do the paper grain or fine lines justice.

Old concept art for female lead's mech in my story "Lodestone". I made this for a gallery show in 2009 that ended up not happening. But a worker saw it at school and bought a print of it. My first fine art print sale.

I was going for a da Vinci invention style. This robot is suposed to be a huge suborbital sniper (roughly 1200 feet tall, about a quarter mile!). The four spheres at the top are different angle views of the cockpit, which rotate freely inside the head to smooth motion for the pilot. There is a diagram of how the cockpit slides into the head at the top center, front and side thumbnails of the entire mech at the bottom right, and the left has some sketches and a diagram of the tracking sniper rounds.
