The Widowmaker

Sorry for the slower rate of posts this month. My team is in crackdown mode trying to get as much done as we can for Wave One of the Kickstarter.

I've got a lot of old content I'm having to r...

Bushwacker Concept Sketch

Here's a favorite of many I think, particularly the crowd that grew up on MW3 and MW4.

The Bushwacker has always had a pretty clean shape that quickly starts to break apart if you change too ...

On Marauders, Poverty, and Design Philosophy

Nice to see everyone jump in on the Marauder discussion today. Plenty like what I posted, many have concerns, a few hate it. I'll tell you, I've been having the "marauder discussion" for 6 years, i...

Marauder II Concept Sketch

The powers above wanted a few tweaks to my old Marauder II design so this is what I've come up with, not sure yet if they'll like it.

Do you like it?

More Rear Design Shots

I heard you like butts, so here's a butt-ton of butts!

More Prototypes

Pretty Vulture anyone? It's scale isn't quite right, but the details are all there.

Painting as usual by Dale Eadeh.

Almost at $700/mo funding!

Doing amazing guys. This level of support has really changed my life lately.

Notable in my funding goals is that I'd quit my side job at $1200/mo. With more imminent income from Battletech Ki...

Gargoyle 3D Sculpt

Here's the Gargoyle sculpt done by Alan Blackwell. Design by Harri Kallio starting with my Executioner legs.

He's an ugly boy, but I think we made him passable :P

Green Burd Prototypes

Check out this sick (wip) paint work by Dale Eadeh, of Hardware Studios fame.

My Adder model, his Summoner model (he's also done the Shadow Cat, Grendel, and is working on the Hellbringer) View Post

Linebacker Concept Sketch

Time for another design, the Linebacker.

Not the most inspiring mech, but I understand to some it's a staple heavy.
The old art came with a simple block torso, and practically unusable leg...

Urbanmech Concept Sketch

We all know it's coming, you all want it (or despize it), here it is.

Bulk of the concept here is Bishop Steiners work, with a bit of draw over of my own to get it across the finish line. Pos...

New Nova Cat Head

This look better?
Still channeling the classic look while including what I can from the MWDA head that isn't too disruptive.

The joke though? Most of the effect is essentially tilting the ...

Nova Cat Head

The MWDA Nova Cat head is certainly more exciting than the original, but is it faithful enough for the masses?
Which would you prefer? Enter opinion here.

Nova Cat Concept Sketch

I know a lot of people love this mech, and that might be because I consider it one of the best aged mechs on Battletech. Each new iteration of the design has changed so little because there's not m...

Master and Minion 4

Warhawk Concept Sketch

Time for another iconic big boy. One I've drawn before, and I played heavily in mwo for it's mobility, relative compactness (compared to a Dire Whale or Kodiak barn door), slapping a pair of UAC10'...

Ice Ferret

Here's yet another done by Harri Kallio. He tends to get a lot of the mechs I'm less excited about, but he loves all of them, so he's not picky :P

Might get a few proportional tweaks still, b...

Fire Moth Concept Sketch

Throwing this an a few others up to overtake some of the public art announcements :P

Another one by Harri Kallio, though I jumped in too and edited much of the torso and some of the arms. Leg...

Master and Minion 3

Getting closer.

What are your opinions on non-canon schemes that are just meant to look cool?

Is this one cool? Would you rock this loudness?

Something that often bugs me about sc...

Kit Fox Concept Sketch

Cute Fox time!

I reused Cougar and Adder parts for this one so it was another quick concept. Came out quite nice I think.

Slower art posting lately considering all the mechs I have on m...

Banshee Concept Sketch

The official Battletech twitter posted this up so I'll get it out here too in case you missed it.

Lots of reference options for this guy. The original art, various different looks, an old red...

More progress on my Masters and Minions force by Dave Fanjoy. I wonder who the lucky players will be coming for my head and dibs at these.

I hear a lot of Masters will be playing with new Cla...

Need I say anything?

Master and Minion

Dave Fanjoy is painting up my mechs for Masters and Minions at GenCon, and I've thrown him quite a curve ball on the scheme. Non-canon, bold, and a bit wacky.
The stripe sections will be a warm ...

Elemental Edits?

I had this edit sheet passed down to me, and while I'm cool with the idea of some changes, others just don't sit right with me.

So, what do you think?

Crusader Concept Sketch
