One complaint is the blur on the lower legs - I get why you did it but it looks too sudden - and kind of weird, why are only the legs blurred? - not to mention it kinda ruins your nice texture/line work D:
How long did it take you?
This was a quick and dirty piece so it's not the best, but I tried out the blur because it's kind of needed to give proper immersion. Focus is on the torso while the legs are moving in the frame, I find without the blurring a fast mech looks too static. Even I struggle with changing my mindset from "losing leg detail" to "they were always going to be blurred". It's the same as choosing to design a whole mech but painting it torn apart from damage.
I see how the blur is important but it seems like there should be a better solution. Quick and dirty though like you said. Putting the detail in pre-blur is definitely better, though.
The Mech itself looks great, even though i donīt like the Fire Falcon.
