Shilone Concept Sketch

I like this!

I really like the new art for this fighter, but this fighter is not one of my favorites. However, I totally understand why it was chosen as the kickstarter extra given the historical significance tied to the clans in universe. Will we get to see concept sketches for some of the other popular aerospace fighters for the clans and IS any time in the near future?

Can't wait to see if a Corsair follows from CGL and our Artists' Community.

The we can look into other ASFs... Lightning, Mechbuster, Tomahawk, Corsair, Gotha, Rapier, Hammerhead.... etc...

Lucifer, next. In fact, Bishop already did a Lucifer redesign for me on commission. Let's make it canon?

I logged on to say pretty much this. I would buy soooo many slayers.

Stewart Spencer

any other views? engine cluster? front lrms?

Though I absolutely love what you've done with the Shilone, I'm kind of sad right now Tyra Miraborg didn't pilot a Slayer instead. It's my all time favorite BattleTech fighter and I would love to see it get the Kickstarter treatment.

I hope so, either way I can't wait to get my hands on the free one they are packaging regardless of when the deliveries arrive. Once again, you've done a classic design justice and I cant wait to see what else you can give the modern-yet-classic treatment ^^

The update said they're looking into ways to get it to wave one people.

Anthony Scroggins

This makes me sad I was wave 1.

I'm betting CGL will find a way to sell it somewhere. It's extremely expensive to tool up the miniature and give thousands away for free. I don't really know myself, but I'd expect to see it at conventions and the CGL webstore.

Anthony Scroggins

I have asked on the kickstarter, but I figured I would ask here since you are the guy that drew up this beauty of a redesign. Have you heard any plans from CGL to sell this model on shelves? or is it a KS only thing, it would be sad if it was the latter. I would love to field a wing of these aerospace units on airfeilds for decoration or as combat units.

EtolGhost

Hurraaa!

Jakob Fredensborg

Oh yeah, that's awesome. Nice to see that the love is being extended to more of the universe's massive range of units. Kickstarter V2 when? 🤪

Andrew Dickinson

CGL has said they're looking at vehicles :)

Anthony Scroggins

I like how you canted the two tail fins out like that vs the original artwork from the 3025 TRO.

KaiserDunk

So nice to see an aerospace fighter. Battletech is such a diverse game, I hope a bit more energy is spent on adding units other than mechs to the plastic options that have been developed thus far.

You're very welcome! And welcome aboard.

This is a special case where it was to be a miniature from the start, though we've also done a few vehicle designs needed for illustrations too.

Anthony Scroggins

Hahaha, I hope not!

Anthony Scroggins

As my first post here to your Patreon, let me just say that this work of BattleTech Art joins the host of art and uncountable hours of effort you have contributed to my favorite game franchise. Thank you. :bow:
