I did this fast with markers, but I don't normally do technical stuff so Crits appreciated.

Elijah,
interesting design. It might help you if you would use a rule to staighten the lines a little (use some perpective lines to guide you as well) |

Elijah: I like the idea of seperating the main tank body from the hip base, gives it a good range of motion. I agree with Trudel about making some of the lines straighter. Mostly in the gun barrels, there's nothing worse than a bent barrel  I would suggest using the markers to layout broader sections of shadow, it looks like you were timid with them and used them more to define color differences than light and shadow. Pick a definite light source and darken everything that isn't hit by that light.
The design works pretty well, but I think the front end looks a bit like Daffy Duck's bill
btw. How many legs does it have, I only see three.
Great start anyway. Personnaly I only use the ruler when I absolutely have to. I'm lazy

| HEy thanks for critin' me skeez, I really like your style and I think your kinda the reason I did this pic. yeah I am not sure about the bill, :P I also think it doesn't allow a whole lot of room for the driver. I gave it three legs on purpose, I know balance doesn't really work like that but I thought it might add a cool unbalanced effect, but it would probably just fall over. |

And now for a little bad Canadian humor:
It fell because it didn't seem well balanced.  |
