Great design, but I think "Behemoth" is more appropriate a nickname- or maybe "Carnosaur"? The Kraken is a fictional sea monster, and considering it's based on the giant squid, is completely helpless on land.

That's certainly true... but it's an old concept, and I'm not sure if I want to change the name now; I've grown rather attached to it.

Obviously, it's an ironic joke by the designers, just like the Maus

Interesting mech. Uses a tail for stability? Purdy legit.

Thanks You need something to counter the recoil of the 16" man gun after all

Thanks for the tip - I'm not good at backgrounds, so I tend to avoid them looks like I'll just have to bite the bullet...

np just sth i noticed...

yeah, we all have our difficulties with some stuff... and one day we will need to tackle them.
for me it is mostly rough painting technical details, like making you see stuff that ain't even there... and figurative...
i just started the first one.

Depends on the model. Definitely not REX, but perhaps RAY.

Touche

In my defence, I've never played the games, so I don't really know much about the metal gears

No worries. I've only played part of MGS2 myself, barring any Youtube videos I've seen.
