Guillotine Concept Sketch
Added 2020-05-11 00:59:46 +0000 UTCHere's the Guillotine design by Alan Blackwell. Has a bit of draw over by me, mostly on the torso and left arm.
It's been a long lineage of diverse goofy faces, but that dies today, sorry not sorry :P

always thought this and the Thug were related, now it shows. good work, may have to get a couple for a Snord's Irregulars unit.

2020-06-21 20:49:52 +0000 UTCThis is the one I was fearful for, not your art, but how much it would change, I miss the shoulder flanges, but still a nice one. Will go well with my Wolverine II beside it.

2020-05-20 01:39:32 +0000 UTCI think that's because of it being jump capable. Thick ankles to absorb the stress.
2020-05-13 04:02:24 +0000 UTCThis, weirdly, has been the one I've been waiting on, and this version is amazing. I love it.
2020-05-13 04:01:13 +0000 UTCI kinda miss the War of the Worlds martin cockpit but this one does look nice.

2020-05-12 15:18:20 +0000 UTCWe always tweak things in 3D if they don't look right in that form.

2020-05-11 21:33:31 +0000 UTCThat's the main camp that loses in this KS. Many of the wacky elements go away that people have nostalgia for, so that they don't put off new players who lack that nostalgia.

2020-05-11 21:32:48 +0000 UTCDid not skip leg day. Beautiful.

2020-05-11 21:02:17 +0000 UTCGoofy face and pointy shoulder pads gone. Otherwise it was a good looking 'Mech to begin with, and you didn't mess with it much. I like the upper arm actuator to match the sheet.

2020-05-11 19:19:10 +0000 UTCI mostly like this Mech, but I think the lower legs are way too thick...this aspect look bad enough in the drawing, it would be worse as a plastic model, I feel...

2020-05-11 17:45:00 +0000 UTCholy oversized medium lasers Batman! I love what you did with the cockpit and the large laser arm. the overall roundness of the legs keeps it in line with other Star League Proprietary designs. I wish you had not reduced the shoulder pauldrons though. those things were a touch of the ridiculous "Form over Function." that I love about this IP.

2020-05-11 16:17:22 +0000 UTCThose ankles seem a little big for a 70 tonner, but overall I like it.

2020-05-11 14:53:01 +0000 UTCIt has got to be this, or the Mercury that is wearing the crown for "most improved design" - I am REALLY waiting to see the Crockett. The Crockett is so ugly I cannot fathom anything cool looking unless you just toss out literally every piece of previous art thus far.
2020-05-11 13:42:20 +0000 UTCI love it! It's got the chonk that you expect of a tough-as-nails heavy brawler, and now it's got hips! AND KNEES! I'm really loving how you've managed to make all the old 2750s look like they can actually walk, and cannot wait to see your take on the Champion!

2020-05-11 13:22:06 +0000 UTCI like it. It still looks kind of old and clunky without looking full-on derpy.

2020-05-11 12:06:36 +0000 UTChmmm, was kind of expecting a gravity propelled blade somewhere. put one between the legs maybe?

2020-05-11 11:29:59 +0000 UTCBIG improvement on the original!
2020-05-11 11:22:37 +0000 UTCThis looks great. The awkwardness of the large laser on the original sculpt always irked me. I think Alan really addresses that issue while staying faithful to the spirit of the original.

2020-05-11 08:00:32 +0000 UTCLike it. Now I have to check if this box was on my list...

2020-05-11 07:29:05 +0000 UTCAnother Mech I've been discounting for ages because of the mini. No longer, this is a beaut.
Stewart Spencer
2020-05-11 06:43:21 +0000 UTCYeah, I was hoping for an "elbow" as well, just to balance out the look with the right arm. I know unbalanced arm looks are exactly an unusual feature for Mechs with this game, but here at least I was hoping for the balance. Mech still looks good, just feels a little off to me.
2020-05-11 06:18:50 +0000 UTCIm really looking forward to that mini!

2020-05-11 05:13:40 +0000 UTCI did not expect it to bulk up so much, but it works! I love it!

2020-05-11 02:39:12 +0000 UTCThat is one beefy boy.
2020-05-11 02:24:11 +0000 UTCNot bad. BUT I will admit to hopping you'd try giving the large laser arm an elbow but this looks good as well. Easy to picture quick draw raising it up to fire. I also like how clearly defined the cockpit is as it sorta sticks out instead of just being flat.
Tyler Erickson
2020-05-11 02:19:17 +0000 UTCI was wondering how you'd solve the weird stick arm problem, and this does the job rather nicely!
David Razi
2020-05-11 02:16:18 +0000 UTCOh I was looking forward to this and it did NOT disappoint! Incredible! Perfect adaption.

2020-05-11 02:09:22 +0000 UTCYYYAAAAAASSSSSSSS!!!
2020-05-11 01:47:53 +0000 UTCLooks great! The left arm was a good choice, at first impulse I was hesitant, but this is the better option. I love the cockpit and shoulder area. Another Star League mech that blends the sleek, round, and smooth with the new updated aesthetic. Great job!
2020-05-11 01:44:31 +0000 UTCThe Guillotine has long been one of my all-time favorite 'Mechs, and I have been eagerly awaiting the updated look....It looks incredible! I need a company of these!
2020-05-11 01:37:15 +0000 UTCThat looks excellent! If the redrawn Thug looks half as good, I will be a very happy man. :)
2020-05-11 01:26:29 +0000 UTCSSSOOOOOO GOOOD!
Jordan G Roberts
2020-05-11 01:17:59 +0000 UTCFinally the mech that will be My personal paddy wagon has come alive! This pleases me.
2020-05-11 01:05:56 +0000 UTCoooh, a fantastic improvement on one of my favourite 'Mechs. I can't wait to see this one made plastic.
Alex F
2020-05-11 01:02:55 +0000 UTCVery nice! Great compromise on the left arm. Hated it looking like it had a peg leg strapped to it' left shoulder! AWESOME job Alan!
