Dervish Concept Sketch
Added 2021-07-01 04:15:39 +0000 UTCI think someone asked for a Dervish. Here's a continuation of "I post all of Bishops art so that he stops bugging me" month. On that subject, for those wondering, all parties involved (except for a few patrons I believe) are happy with me posting design team assets, sometimes including stuff I didn't entirely do myself (I do direct and make hands on edits to everything). This is so guys like Bishop can engage with the fans over his work without having to wait for full release. No intent to mooch off of my team :)
There is a good chunk more that I don't post. Designs, likeart, etc, where an artist requests that I don't spill it all.
Hope that sits well.
Also I'd personally say this month was a bit shy again of the content level I want to deliver, but I at least hit my 4 piece a month minimum. Just got done moving houses. My frail artist hands are about recovered from lifting so many items haha.
Onto next month!

Absolutely stoked to see the Dervish! As an Avalon Hussars player I have a uh, need for those.
2021-10-28 02:40:10 +0000 UTCYes yes yes! I would love this mini!!! Hopefully itll be sold individually because i need at least 4.

2021-09-24 15:56:02 +0000 UTCoh sure, give Anthony and Harri all the attention on my design post, after I went and made up your spiffy Penny for you, at that! Fickle fans, say I! :P

2021-07-07 12:56:11 +0000 UTCAnthony, I'm in love with this Dervish! It's absolutely amazing, and I hope we get a mini, sooner, rather than later! Now, do a Whitworth and Penetrator, and I'll REALLY be happy! Bradigus did an amazing Penetrator concept sketch!

2021-07-07 08:44:51 +0000 UTCThanks for the replies Anthony, Bishop. Would love to see more of one of my favorite rides.

2021-07-05 19:41:08 +0000 UTCI eagerly await the treatment this team can give my favorite apartment-building-with-guns....
Jarod DePastene
2021-07-05 19:38:13 +0000 UTCWell let’s see that good old mech footage!
Robert Moore
2021-07-05 16:25:54 +0000 UTCjust checked, head size remained the same, just got lifted a little higher. And when I get around to doing an action pose drawing, I'll probably do one launcher closed, one open. IDK maybe Anthony can have that done on the official lineart assignment? I dunno how many people actually realize it has covers in the drawing.
Benjamin Myers (Bishop Steiner)
2021-07-05 15:07:12 +0000 UTCI see where you coming from. But I mean.. end of the day, just like people.. sometimes you got a big head, sometimes a pinhead. If I am remembering correctly my initial take had the head sunk in further, at least, don't recall if it was smaller besides that, but the consensus from the bosses was *Scot's brogue* HEAD! So I gave em more head. Or Anthony did. I forget who did the final head proportion tweaks. Probably Anthony.

2021-07-05 15:03:40 +0000 UTCdef need my Jagermech.
Benjamin Myers (Bishop Steiner)
2021-07-05 15:01:00 +0000 UTCJagermech, as well.
Jarod DePastene
2021-07-04 18:04:03 +0000 UTCI asked, too. :) Lots of people did, actually.
Jarod DePastene
2021-07-04 18:03:43 +0000 UTCNow we just need to see the Javelin, Quickdraw, Cicada, Clint, Hermes II, Whitworth, Vindicator, Charger, and at least 3025 will be complete

2021-07-04 14:46:30 +0000 UTCFINALLY :)

2021-07-02 17:29:41 +0000 UTCYet, the 50-ton Enforcer looks like a 50-ton mech due to its proportions, especially the head/cockpit. While I know the Dervish is 5 tons heavier, this current image looks “smaller/off” somehow and I believe it’s due to the size of the head/cockpit. If it was reduced in size only, I believe it would convey a better sense of scale. Just my opinion of course. Maybe the 3-d image/mini will give me a different perspective. Fire starter, Vulcan are spot on. Looking forward to more!

2021-07-02 15:16:40 +0000 UTCAt only 55tons it's not a very big mech, so even with a head this size the cockpit isn't super roomy just yet.
Anthony Scroggins
2021-07-02 11:38:12 +0000 UTCOverall great, but the head seems a bit too big throwing off the overall scale IMHO. I like the missile port covers. Be neat to see a pic with them closed.

2021-07-02 01:54:41 +0000 UTCI was assigned to a Dervish back on the 3030 MUSE. I'd never paid them much attention until then. Imagine my growing horror as I found ammo in location after location, the thing is a death trap!
Michael Prescott
2021-07-01 22:17:52 +0000 UTCHaha. We live at the whims of our bosses mech boners.
Anthony Scroggins
2021-07-01 21:30:46 +0000 UTCI'd enjoy doing a Mauler when we get there.
Anthony Scroggins
2021-07-01 21:30:22 +0000 UTCGreat work. Well done!
2021-07-01 21:12:21 +0000 UTCAs for the future, any of the "Old 55" that aren't done yet, the Chameleon, and the Merlin would be most welcome for me. Hatamoto and Mauler/Daboku would definitely be cool too.
Mitchell Berthelson
2021-07-01 19:06:14 +0000 UTCI was the one who asked and it is GLORIOUS. And yeah, Doomguy vibes. The only thing they fear is your Infernos. :)
Mitchell Berthelson
2021-07-01 18:44:48 +0000 UTCShimmy, what all do we have to do for the Hatamoto-Chi? Where do I need to send the Sushi, Tempura, or Ramen to?
Scott
2021-07-01 16:28:48 +0000 UTCAwesome! Any chance of a Mauler and/or Hatamoto?
James Bixby
2021-07-01 15:56:33 +0000 UTCYes daddy, gimme more!
Joe Wright
2021-07-01 15:10:18 +0000 UTCReally dig it. It is a really good upgrade of the original while still similar enough to immediately read as a dervish. It has just a sprinkle of MWO flavor without being to far in that camp IMO (which I'm definitely not a fan of for all mechs).
2021-07-01 14:11:23 +0000 UTCI think your player should be reading this thread...looks like he's not alone after all. Dervish Lovers Anonymous meeting going on in here? ;)
Benjamin Myers (Bishop Steiner)
2021-07-01 13:56:26 +0000 UTCthat's the general consensus of most of the 40 tonners. Dervish IMO about the only thing I think is a bit off is a ton of ammo for each SRM. I get some folk like to grab a ton of Boom and a ton of Inferno, but an extra ton of armor woulda also been mighty nice, lol.
Benjamin Myers (Bishop Steiner)
2021-07-01 13:55:33 +0000 UTCFinally, some love to my fav med mech!!! Dervy’s been hitting the gym. Big shoulder, forearm, and chest gainz!!! Also, looks like it has a baby archer torso resting inside of its chest. I love everything about it. Give me a company’s worth!!
2021-07-01 13:02:39 +0000 UTCMakes me finally want a Dervish, to be honest. This, Whitworth, Clint, and Hermes and Hermes II are in that "If they were only *slightly* different" range for me.
Robert Schuster
2021-07-01 12:28:02 +0000 UTCIt now looks much tougher than it actually is. Love it.
Kanrei13
2021-07-01 11:48:48 +0000 UTCIt's going to take alot of convincing for me to not call it the "Doom guy" mech
Reikenan
2021-07-01 11:02:43 +0000 UTCDude, if your team and employer don’t mind, I don’t mind. I love getting a behind-the-screens look of cool BattleTech stuff
2021-07-01 10:50:07 +0000 UTCF&€¥ yes! I can see dervishes baby, dervishes everywhere! I think i need a lance of them…
Swen Decker
2021-07-01 09:30:28 +0000 UTCMuch improved
Jeffery Smith
2021-07-01 05:12:04 +0000 UTCGlad the forearms got turned into a snub weapons port. :D
Jordan G Roberts
2021-07-01 04:56:14 +0000 UTCI love the Dervish both on the table and from a miniature stand point. The original miniature is hard to beat in my mind and Bishop’s done a fine job with the retake.
Dan Hegarty
2021-07-01 04:28:59 +0000 UTCYessss… now we just need the Whitworth…
2021-07-01 04:18:09 +0000 UTCOne of my players is the world's only Dervish fan. Nice work.
