Final sketch with the last round of notes from Harmony gold with added background. Originally the background was just going to be the UN Spacy logo, or an explosion. But when I was given creative freedom, I opted to paint the SDF-1 in the background.

Second pass based on notes from Harmony Gold. Legs were thickened and sizes of veritechs adjusted to give a better sense of perspective and depth.
