Content Requests

Time for another round of polling the vocal of yee for content requests.
I've already got a few items I can assemble progress gifs for that I just need to get around to finalizing. But the common subject I want to know again is what mechs some of you want to see additional render angles from, as that's simple enough content to output.

I'm working fresh Battletech content, it never ends, but I'm not sure yet when I can post these new things, so it'll be a little dry on new stuff for a bit.

Of course if you've got any special ideas/requests outside of the renders aspect feel free to let me know and I'll consider it.

Comments

Can you post the renders for the Clan Heavy Star? It never got posted on here.

You got to pay the bills first, and it seems that you have been quite busy the last little bit.

William Janak

Motivation levels are building to do the last of that books editing haha. I do feel bad about it not being completely 100%, but not as bad when it's 99% :D

Anthony Scroggins

Well I really enjoy all your work so I don't really care. BUT if you could work on your Protectorate Wars Project that started all this Patreon business of yours. I would be quite happy.

William Janak

Also few more ideas- 1. perhaps remake the Dragonfire and make sure the CT laser is placed somewhere that's not very questionable :P (sorry if this part is inappropriate) 2. the Fafnir 3. the Uziel would be great as well

Sapphirus

Would like to see Assassin, Firestarter, Javelin, Cicada, Hermes/Hermes II, Clint, Whitworth, Vindicator, Dervish, Quickdraw, Jagermech, Charger (and variants), Imp, Annihilator, Falcon, Firefly, Shogun...

Burning Chrome

So, I'd love to see some alternate angle shots of the Zeus and Centurion, but as I initially misinterpreted the intent of the OP I'm going to ask if there's any plans to redesign the Annihilator? It's a quality and characterful mech which is desperately in need of a facelift.

Stewart Spencer

The renders are still useful for newbies. My brother hasn't played much, and what is Classic for most of us is just another mech for him.

Mike

Yeah, I'm really hoping that the next campaign is vehicles. And I'm hoping they let us know if it's a wasted hope.

Mike

Yeah, wish the Whitworth was included. I like the Trebushet plenty on paper, but boy is that a goofy-looking mech when you actually model all 15 tubes on the arm.

Mike

Anthony, I was super bummed when the Whitworth got pulled, I'd LOVE to see you take a shot at him! Bradigus did a great sketch for him! Same deal with the Penetrator! Bradigus doodles the base of a FANTASTIC one!!!!

Joshua Bressel

Seconded!!!!!

Joshua Bressel

I later realized I could find the lineart on the MUL and, better yet, in the coloring book. My bad. You're right that the renders feel less interesting now that we have the minis but the lineart is great. And if there's a story behind the design, even better.

Carlos Sempere

I always assumed if you guys have the plastics in hand you'd be less interested in the renders haha.

Anthony Scroggins

Turntables require a long render time from a computer so we only do one or two of those per pack, usually whatever Chris modeled. We also pay him for those, so not so simply to pump out more :D

Anthony Scroggins

How about the 'clan buster' variant of the Black Knight?

Henning Boessler

I just realized... we don't have lineart or sculpts of the Game of Armored Combat set (plus the Griffin and OstScout).

Carlos Sempere

Also also I'd love to see the Black Hawk-KU and Black Hawk (Standard) get updates, given the radical redesign of their progenitor

Alex F

This is a great idea. Show some start to finish sketch to 3d stuff, one Mech at a time. Kinda like the map posts on the kickstarter updates

Echoing the wishes / hopes of seeing more designs (Clint, Vindicator, Cicada, Whitworth, Dervish, Hermes II, Assassin, Quickdraw, Jagermech) show up at a later stage / next KS, I'll settle for a Spider rear view / turntable.

TIM STRAUVEN

More turntables is good. Colorized TRO art. Variants, infiltrator, sloth, and Gorilla Battle Armor

James Bixby

I’d love some Scrogginized battle armor designs. Also quads...

Joe Wright

Not to be a broken record, but I'd love to see your take on the IS Standard and Longinus BAs, as well as 2D artwork of the Catapult CPLT-K2 it'd be a guilty pleasure of mine. Other than that, I'd love to see your continuation of the Unseen Moon remake art.

Malintus

Turntable of the Behemoth and Fire Falcon.

James Hauserj

How about the Thresher?

Tyler Erickson

Battle Armor Designs?

Trevor R.N.

Wishlist: 1-Combat Manual Davion designs 2-Kickstarter for BT Combat Vehicles, Infantry, and Aerospace Fighters. 3- Any of your unused concept sketches/hand drawings.

George Velez

Got some of those on my list :)

Anthony Scroggins

More of my unseen moon remake will come eventually.

Anthony Scroggins

Adder you can grab from the KS main banner art. Only Fire Moth I have is a burning hulk on my Forever Faithful cover haha. I'm sure now that we've got all these in house 3D art assets we'll slowly see them get fresh art. Vindicator is definitely deserving of a redesign.

Anthony Scroggins

Ez peasy mate.

Anthony Scroggins

Haven't started the next quarter of the painting yet, but it's on my mind now that things are a little less crazy.

Anthony Scroggins

I hope we're snappy about the IWM hand over. So much room for great refits there. Gotta do that Axman 2N with the missile shoulders.

Anthony Scroggins

That would be fun. Shame the Destiny book was a bit rushed through art and I didn't have time to do more of the mechwarriors.

Anthony Scroggins

I definitely want vehicles added to the reworks, and a sprinkling of BA.

Anthony Scroggins

That one is guaranteed to be hit if we ever do a FedCom era campaign.

Anthony Scroggins

Definitely got my eyes on more of those 2nd tier IS workhorse mechs.

Anthony Scroggins

Atlas II eeeeeey ;)

Anthony Scroggins

Can do there.

Anthony Scroggins

I've always thought the Titan was a bit too much Optimus Prime :D

Anthony Scroggins

The other IICs from TRO 3055, Yeoman, Nexus, Raijin, Grand Crusader, and maybe the Madcat Mk II

Sapphirus

I really miss those artwork pieces you do like Unseen Moon, Combat Manual Kurita, Shattered Fortress and such. Anything of that nature in the oven?

BFenix

My custom CCG update project has highlighted a lot of 'Mechs that don't have much (or any) art out there. I've yet to find any modern illustrations of the Vindicator. Same for the Fire Moth. Would love to see those holes filled. Others that stand out are the Mercury, Mongoose, Sentinel, Adder, Viper, and UrbanMech (lots of line art from Bishop, little to nothing in color though).

Travis Gardner

I'd love to see some line art. It's a shame the Dragon couldn't get bumped up enough to make it in Destiny.

Mike

Or, as a real challenge, the Kraken/Bane

Alex F

Charger

Chris L

Hatamoto-Chi

Scott

I would like to see more angles of both the spider and the panther. Also have you had a chance to work a little more on your Wolf Dragoons art work?

Robert Moore

Artwise, I'd love to see your take on the Wolverine II and Firefly. Article wise, more insight on how you go through the updating process.

Matthew Morris

Ah, the good old Whitworthless. :) I love that thing.

Hatamoto Chi. Scorpion or Goliath

As the above two comments stated I would like to see insight into the design process. More specifically the design philosophy.

Christopher Eastwood

I second any of those capellan 3067 era mechs. Save the Lao hu, they could use a rework.

Christopher Eastwood

Behind the scenes info, like what mechs caused problems or which ones you and the team enjoyed.

Pledger K

Some insider knowledge would be neat. Like what mechs gave you the most trouble or what were your favorite to work on? Like some behind the scenes stuff

Panther!

Kanrei13

Personally I vote for new configurations on the mechs that have been done, and new weapon configurations. That would be really cool. In fact, if you have any custom configs from your own gaming sessions that you've designed, I'd enjoy that.

Brent Evans

More mechwarriors. Particularly different nerohelmet designs.

Damen DeLeenheer

Berzerker!

Steven Cross

Id like to see the Whitworth, dervish, vindicate, phantom, pouncer, and naga in the new art style. I was sad those didn't make it into the kickstarter but would love to see them reimagined

Vehicles, IS power armors or vehicles would be awesome. Love to see how you would improve the Gray Death Scout armor and the Manticore tank.

Tyler Erickson

Vindicator, as this workhorse design was apparently forgotten. Solitaire would be very nice as well as the Jinggau.

Henning Boessler

how about a blood asp rework^^

You did a post with my Sidewinder and you mentioned a few adjustments to the actual armament. Please let me see your take! Another Mech I would like to see is the poor Whitworth that didn’t make it into the Kickstarter lineup. Please have a heart and give that poor neglected Mech a little love..

Jürgen Frey

Mentioned it before, but would love to see your Atlas II you did art for as a 3D mini. Hopefully they do another Kickstarter to expand the line

Tinman

Banshee please

Alan So

Go back to the Clan Invasion box or the Legendaries or the other mechs we're just getting to hold in our hands right now. What are the stories behind their designs? Which almost looked very different? Or pick a weapon and talk about how it looks when it's mounted in a torso vs. on the outside of an arm.

Carlos Sempere

I'd love to see your take on the Titan II ... or the Titan (from battletechnologie magazine) The art for it is great but the mini itself is kinda lacking .

More renders/angles of the Lancelot, Mongoose and Exterminator would be great. Or throw yourself at some of those 'Mechs that likely will never get any love, like the Helios or Verfloger
