Mad Cat Mk II Concept

I've been itching to show this one off since I finished it, or even earlier when it first came down the assignment pipe.

The Mad Cat Mk II. One of my favorite mechs that we hadn't gotten to y...

Fulcrum Hover Sculpt

Ok here's starting the rest of this months catch up posts. I took a couple days pause and that teleported me forward 3 weeks.

Resuming with renders of the Fulcrum hover tank sculpt. Modeled b...

Grand Titan Concept

With the release of Big Red 40tech's reveal and deep dive video, here's my design sketch for the Grand Titan that went into it.

You guys asked pretty regularly when we'll be getting one of th...

Thunderbolt IIC

Here are the final renders for the Thunderbolt IIC.

It came out looking excellent in my opinion, with Eliza Gibbs handling the 3D modeling task. It's so chunky and sturdy looking.
I was ve...

Ostwar Concept

Here's one requested, the Ostwar. Designed by Eldon Cowgur.

The continuation, completion, and historical origination for the ost line.
A bit less elegant than the Ostroc and Ostsol, but st...

Wendigo Sculpt

Here's the Wendigo sculpt by Alan Blackwell, who also worked on the design stage.

I think the shapes came out really nice on this one. It's got both heft and sleekness to it.

With a ver...

Shiro Concept

Here's the final concept sketch for the Kurita force packs, the Shiro.

I recall doing this one before the Rokurokubi to establish the visuals a bit, then I could pull them over to use on both...

Peacekeeper Sculpt

Ok back at it! I'm going to try and cram October full of posts to catch up on my ghosting of Aug/Sep. Apologies again.
Feel free to drop special requests in again for things I can whip up past t...

Downtime

Hey patrons! I believe I totally missed posting anything in August. Whoops! But embarrassingly not my first time.

After gencon I've been in a whirlwind of out of routine errands, primarily, b...

Leopard Concept

The Leopard is one of the first items I jumped on when the orders came down to finish all redesigns needed for TRO 3025. I wanted at least a few of the new redesigns to go through the usual full 3D...

Union Concept

Now onto the drop ships! The Union.

Along with the Leopard, it was really important to get this one right, being so prolific, popular, and appearing a lot in art already. I have always been b...

Transgressor Concept

This was a fun one, the Transgressor.

Right at the finish line for the project we realized I'd missed 2 pieces from the needed list. This was one of them. Marco was going to handle the concep...

Stingray Concept

Here's the Stingray. Had I not posted this one before?

This concept was done quite a while ago, along with several others to fill the need for more aerospace reference designs for artists to ...

Riever Concept

I wont be posting every sketch for every fresh (to current BT art) unit in our 3025 re-release, as many have been done by other artists than myself, but I'll start with at least the ones I handled....

Phoenix Hawk LAM Concept

Before I ship off to Gencon, how about I drop some concepts for the imminent TRO 3025?

Let's kick it off with the Phoenix Hawk LAM. To push a little variety, I took up this one as the basis f...

Rokurokubi Concept

Here's a fun one, the Rokurokubi. Along with the Shiro, it was our entry into Dark Age Kurita totem samurai mechs. The Hatamoto-Chi is no longer alone.

I really like the head concept on this ...

Excalibur Sculpt

Here are the 3D renders for the Excalibur.

Some visual features include the fake right hand, and including arm pods that can work as sensors or lasers depending on variant, and opening up mor...

Avatar Concept

I believe Bishop Steiner has had this posted over on his patreon page for a bit, but I wanted to drop it here too for more to see. The Avatar.

Definitely one I've looked forward to our team g...

Savage Wolf Sculpt

It's been a year and a half since I posted the concept sketch for this one. Now here's some 3D renders. The Mad Cat mkIV, Savage Wolf.

The IWM model has been out for quite some time now so pl...

Chimera Concept

Time for more MW4 nostalgia mechs. The Chimera.

Here's another one that at least for me, has that perfect ugly industrial look that I like. It's got a lot of nonsense shapes, but they work. O...

Malice Sculpt

Why can something look so good and be so bad? The Malice is a primary contender for that. I'm probably still going to play it on the table despite that.

Ray White worked on the sculpt for thi...

Venom Concept

Here's one I know people have been wanting, the Venom.

This one is fairly straight forward, being built up from a Spider I dug up that sketch and worked from there. Beefed it up to represent ...

J-27 Ordnance Transport Sculpt

Everyone's favorite work commuter, the ammo carrier J-27 Ordnance Transport. Thanks to those that pointed out that is indeed a different word to Ordinance :D

As alluded to in recent product p...

Peacekeeper Concept

Forgot to post this one. The Peacekeeper from the final Star League box. Redesigned by Dale Eadeh and myself.

For me this is a pretty funky looking mech, but it has grown on me a little since...

Hammerhead Sculpt

This isn't so much a new design or sculpt, but going into the Star League packs I decided to give it a little sprucing up. Seems to be a very positively received mech so I'm happy to see it coming ...

Akuma Concept

Here's a fun one I'm sure many have been looking forward to, the Akuma.

I remember way back enjoying the color illustration Alex Iglesias did with one in it. Maybe a bit skinny but great look...

Jackalope Sculpt

This unholy mech has arrived, the Jackalope.
It's not a bad mech stats wise, but it sure does look funny. Harri did a nice job updating the look a bit. I'm sure those that use it enjoy being a m...

Fulcrum Concept

Here's a funky one, the Fulcrum. It's going to show up in the first Aces box.

A nice high speed large laser zipping around the map. And uh, an LRM hair cap :D
Like many of the oldschool h...

Kintaro Sculpt

I know some have been waiting for this one. The Kintaro. One more for the scrappy mediums that aren't optimal killers, but still desirable.

I think a nice balance was hit on this one between ...

Excalibur Concept

Ok lets get this one kicked out the door. The Excalibur.

I'm still not quite sure what led management to want this mech in our modern lineup, but here we are despite my groaning haha. It did ...
