Scheme Planning

My local demo agent and buddy George Paresa offered to help get my miniatures painted, so I handed him my stuff and a mountain of art prints to trade. I just... took forever, until now, to get him ...

Alpha Shift

Hmmm, I don't remember the Marauder in this scene being red. Anyone else seeing this?

The last time I painted anything in color was about a year ago, and I think the last time I painted a mec...

Highlander 3D Renders

Here you go. Multi angle renders of the new Highlander.
He's an absolute unit.

Who's OCD is going to be eternally rattled knowing the lower CT block is off center? :)

As usual the pa...

Comstar Command Level II Renders

Here is the usual set of single renders. These should be going up on the KS page pretty fast.
I'll probably do a bunch of angle shots on the Highlander soon. I know you all want to see that.

Comstar Command Level II

It's tricky fitting this many mechs into one shot :D
So many great mechs though. We took a group of mechs ranging from good in the Highlander, to silly medieval Black Knight, hatchet egg on legs...

A Tale of Two Lances

Between the rush of work, thoughts of saving certain mechs for special patreon composition ideas, thinking a lance/star might finish soon, or just being straight up forgetful. It doesn't take long ...

Blackjack Prototype Print

Here's another amazingly painted prototype print from Dale Eadeh.
So glad how the Blackjack came out every time I see it now. Looks so good in physical form. A chunky workhorse.

King Crab 3D Sculpt

Just got this model in from Alex Immerzeel. I ran the fix-up stage for it by myself to free him up for bigger stuff he's got on his plate. 

Doesn't this King Crab look amazing? The plain...

Too Many Mechs

I used to be able to do a render like this and semi reasonably have all the mechs in line be visible. Now they're starting to phase into the horizon haha.
Still more to add.

Cougar 3D Sculpt

Cougar renders requested and delivered.
I've always been a fan of this mech due to it's appearance in Mech Commander games and the MW4 series. It's a great example alongside the Mad Cat on how t...

Marauder II Lineart GIF

Here's an animated gif of the lineart process for the Marauder II.
Alan renders out the lines from 3D for everyone, he also did the first frame of ink here.
Unfortunately I didn't think to sa...

Sentinel 3D Turntable

Another turntable in from Chris Lowrey.
Seems the Sentinel is landing squarely in many peoples "most improved" short lists.
Looks great, as pretty much all the turntables do.

Jenner 3D Sculpt

Here's a chunky boi, sculpted by Alan Blackwell. The Jenner.

I can't wait to redesign a Jenner IIC and do an even bigger saucer cockpit.

Nova Cat 3D Renders

The post bomb continues. Trying to manage one a day until I've cleared a bunch of content requests and renders of finished sculpts. Sometimes I just let a sculpt sit until I've got the complete pac...

Goshawk Concept Sketch

Here's an interesting one. The Goshawk.
I think this is one of the stronger cases where the phoenix redesign is almost entirely better than the original, so I leaned pretty heavy into that while...

Black Knight Turntable

Another turntable in from Chris Lowrey.
Such a sweet looking sculpt. Ready to lance that PPC right into another mech and pull the trigger.

Prototype 3D Prints

Here are some more prototype prints painted up by Dale Eadeh. They look amazing don't you think?
Keep in mind these are artist level prints, not production prints or plastic prototypes, so the d...

How's it look?

Warhawk 3D Renders

Squeaky wheel, meet grease. A few of you have asked for more Warhawk renders since the model was first shown off way back and I have continued to forget to post any :D
So, have a bunch of them!<...

Content Requests?

It's been somewhat a chaotic flurry of work lately that I haven't really had the focus to make sure I'm delivering the more unique bits of production here.

Anyone got special requests?

Been a while since did any lineart myself, back when finishing off the Awesome, Commando, and Catapult for the GoAC box.

Resin Prototype Prints

They all look amazing, but once again the Hunchback really sticks out.

You've probably seen all of these as prototypes by now and painted in one form or another, but here's another shot taken by Dale Eadeh of his work.
