A skinny mech in a half-crouched stance with a lowered long gun in its hands, couched in its shoulder. The other shoulder's armour has a big X of tape over it. It has scratched and faded paintwork, a red layer over blue (lore being it's stolen tech from the Hearth Revolutionary Forces' opponents, the TSC, painted over TSC blue with HRF red.) It has mismatched legs, one a replacement stapled on mid-thigh which is no more than a knee joint and thin piston lower leg with a paddle foot.
It is wearing a visor down with three glowing lenses in a triangle pattern, with one on our left being twice as big as the right two. two fins jut off the side of the visor like ears. Out the back of the head leads a thick bundle of thumb-thick cables kept together with cable ties, that lead down into the side of its gun-shaped weapon above the grip. The gun is rifle-sized and had tape on the stock, symmetrical spikes along the barrel like a puffer fish. A jellyfish is scratched on the side. (This is a reference to its original name, Irukanji.) 6 small barrels peek out a smooth cowl, arranged in a 3x2 pattern. It's darkened towards the end.
On its back is a conical generator with glowing loops of string-like wisps coming off its bright back end. Similar wisps are scattered over the Krait's entire right side. The generator has a missing side panel with visible glowing components and cables inside.
It has a wide, stubby armored tail.
There are glowing copies of itself just behind the main image which match the generator glows, intended as a teleportation effect.

LANCER is copyryight Massif Press. This Illustration is an unaffiliated third party work for the Hearth-7 Homebrew project.
Same as the previous image except with a clear background and no text. A watermark by the left knee reads Jonathan Caridia with a cool logo.
I got commissioned to do the rest of the #Lancer Hearth-7 Homebrew mechs, so expect more of these over the coming weeks. Fun project!
Here's the Krait, a Size 1/2 teleporting crit-fiend with lock-on tools and some cool Nexus weapons, including one with an embedded AI.
