TSR Challenge: #6 Steam Punk Chimera

[Cobalt Blue]

The animation surely boosted the definition of each part but... the more i look at it, the more organic and Castlevania-ish it becomes, rather than steampunk... its a rather ackward feeling(wich isnt related to the color choices). probably its because for me, the red used as rust reads more as blood, thus giving it a more "butcher" vibe than anything...

oh, the tip of its left leg shouldnt lose contact with the ground just like its right leg does. the rotation should use said tip as the axis for the rotation, instead of the center.

and being totally silly, i'm trying to figure how its suposed to keep balance with those legs...
