And now for part of the reason I drew the mech pilot. Now this took an ABSOLUTE AGE to complete. Well over two months. This involved the use of many references, much advice from multiple sources, an considerable amount of research in details such as weapons, sizes and scales plus a fair bit of world building to boot. Alongside many, many shots of caffeine and long nights and days.

This is the Foxfire Attack Mech. My own personal concept for an real life mech. Yes, it looks furry in a way. This ate my life for two months. It was also meant to appear in a future history fic of sorts, but my every increasingly busy life has proven problematic in this regard, so this may well be it's only apparence outside of commissions.

The Foxfire is essentially a walking attack helicopter. It is designed to serve as a general purpose combat platform that excels in hostile terrain where no other vehicle can go, with a particular speciality in assault, special operations and rough terrain fire support. Futuristic as it looks, virtually everything on that mech is essentially based on stuff that already technically exists today. If you really wanted to you could probably build a Foxfire right now. All the weapons are off the shelf, and I've gone to great lengths to try and keep this even partly to scale. Namely between the mech, the pilot, and the two missiles that are on display too.

This was a pain to draw, but it feels well worth the effort to actually get this piece together and show the Foxfire off!
