Crossbow Concept Sketch

Here's another concept by Bishop.
The Crossbow is an interesting one where it looks a little odd on Battletech, give it some sub arms and it fits right into Appleseed, or in Patlabor. It's a mec...

Hunchback 3D Render

Chris Lowrey just finished up the Hunchback model. Came out great right?

Still needs to be cleared before a full turntable is done, but I wanted to show off a test still shot he did.

Black Python Concept Sketch

Some have asked if I'd keep doing design work after the kickstarter, or if I'd finish off more of the remaining unseen. Yes and yes.

Here's a Black Python I completed recently.
This is one...

Thug Concept Sketch

Double post today, you can probably expect these to go live on a kickstarter update soon.

The Thug has had a lot of nice renditions in recent history, fan art included. However I felt each st...

Spider Concept Sketch

Time for this goofy mech.
I wanted to see how well I could preserve the old look. Luckily my past experience with the Osts and it being a SL mech started me out with a good direction. I also hap...

IS Heavy Battle Renders

While the big mechs might be more flashy, I'm really into the Bushwacker here. Such a hodge podge of shapes that come together so nicely.

A Third Assortment

*higher resolution can be downloaded now*

I believe this group shot has grown about 50% since the last one. I did try compositioning one between then and now but it wasn't quite looking nice ...

Guillotine Concept Sketch

Here'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...

Cataphract Turntable

Time for another turntable rendered out by Chris Lowrey after he sculpted the Cataphract.
Marco Mazzoni designed this one, then my usual oversight on the process.

Came out great didn't it?...

Exterminator Concept Sketch

Exterminator time.

This one is a challenge because its shapes are so distinct, but those same shapes are what make it look really goofy. Yep, I know a fair number of people are going to be up...

Hellhound Concept Sketch

Here's the Hellhound/Conjurer.
This one IMO has never had good art, the CCG art was passable but kinda vague, a weak mini. Even the loose VMI source sketch isn't great.
Personally I wanted to...

Marauder IIC Turntable

Look at this pretty thing. Another turntable render in from Chris Lowrey, sculpt by Alex Immerzeel.

Nightstar 3D Renders

While they're not hard to make, it is somewhat time consuming and a fair bit of fiddling to make all the multi angle renders of finished sculpts, hence I haven't posted them for every mech. BUT, I ...

Cyclops Concept Sketch

One eye to stare at them. One eye to take a gauss rifle.
Cyclops is here. Not really much to this one, as just like the MWO version once you start applying some modern sensibilities to it you qu...

Dragon Concept Sketch

Enter the Dragon!

Lets be real here, I mostly copied from the Dragon Marco Mazzoni painted for the Succession Wars TRO cover. Enhanced and refined a bit from there.
Main change was giving ...

More snib snab for ya. Very tempted to make an idle bobbing and clawing animation gif for this haha.

Crab Concept Sketch

First I gave you the big snib, now I provide you with small snab. Crab time!

For as goofy as the old crab looks, not much is fundamentally wrong with it. A nice coat of improved surface detai...

Enforcer Concept Sketch

I know Bishop is itching for me to show this one off, so here it is :)

I'm really curious how you all feel about this Enforcer. Sometimes through all the iterating on a design it can become a...

Enjoy.

Wow guys we're almost there! I knew I could eventually work my way up to levels like this, but not this quickly haha. Lets keep going!

Looks amazing doesn't it? Best stalker ever IMO :)

Here we go, finally approved after a few tweaks. The King Crab you've all been waiting for.
