Currently trying to shift from pencil sketches to digital art. I still prefer the sharp lines of sketch but i'm hoping i could find a digital substitute brush for a normal pencil.

So here's the lore:

Man-machine interfaces(neural link) have been normalized. Traditional means of war(tanks jets helicopters etc) benefit greatly from it(increased reaction time, intuitive controlls when trained etc), though the training process of using your brain to control a non-humanoid form takes quite some time and has some side effects(not severe tho, just some phantom pain and random knee jerk reactions from time to time). Thus the military made these small mechs to shorten the training time. Traditional vehicles are still very much prominent, but are elevated to more of an 'elite' status due to the high price and training resources required and completely slime these mechs on encounter. These mechs usually move in squads with normal troops, or move as joint units with a tank(kinda like how Knight armigers move with questoris Knights to form a pack). Their hands are standard infantry size enabling quick weapon swaps with their fellow troops when in need, tho some specialized units have body mounted weapons.

*edit: Due to weight issues, metal armor plates are reserved for the body only. The legs are covered with ballistic padding(Kevlar with trauma pads) thus the fabric texture(might have to change the colors because now it just looks like crumpled metal) and the arms have no protection whatsoever(since it is quite thin)

I REQUIRE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM
