I think someone recently asked to see this one, so here you are in luck!
The Nightsky came up on the priority list recently so I hopped on it. Such an appalling visual design haha, but everyo...

Here's two more nights of progress on the Salamander.
One session I put another wash over the whole mech now that all base colors were in. Then I did highlights and broad blending on all red ...

Hey how about something Protectorate Wars for once?
Having recently finally starting my minis painting journey, I decided I should finally paint up my Salamander mech that I had made so long ...

Another bug joins the fray! Maybe one if the least threatening looking mechs out there, it's too cute, the Flea.
Sergey Kolesnik modeled this one. I offered him the gig because I'd seen him d...

Here's another design that was jumped on me, and fairly welcome.
While me and my crew sometimes get a bit of input on the designs we're assigned, often it's a bit too far into the selection proc...
Sorry, bit slow on the updates this month. Rifleman sketch was dropped not too long ago, here's the 3D sculpt of it that was the base for Rec Guide lineart.
I think the translation from 2D to...

Finally I have another sketch to show off!
Apologies $1 patrons, I've not had many sketches to show lately as work has swung more to the 3D side. I'll throw some 3D render sets towards your tier...
Here's the Ostroc. Being the 3rd of the lot it was heavily guided by the two preceding it. Was nice to break up the egg shape with the missile launcher.
Alan Blackwell handled the sculpt on t...

Here's the Ostsol. Ostroc coming up next. Alan Blackwell handled the sculpting stage on all of them.
This one first came up for redesign when CGL needed it on the cover of a novel. Toppled ov...

I'm not losing my mind right? I haven't shown the 3D models for any of these Ost mechs yet?
I have single shots rendered out for the Ostsol and Ostroc, then when I made this group shot I realize...
You've seen the sketch, now here's the Vulcan 3D model.
Came out really good. A fairly skinny mech so it'll stand tall among its 40ton peers.
Design by Bishop of course. Sculpt by Alan Bl...

Hitting 400 patrons earlier this month was amazing, but how can that compare to a nice round 420? Hahaha. Thanks everyone!
Welcome aboard all newcomers and those who've returned for more.

No special moody shot for this one, because well, it's a Firefly :P
I'm going to skip mood renders on a few to make things easier, as that's one less 3D setup to mess with.
Better than going ...
Here's one that's been sitting and waiting to be shown for a while. Honestly it just bores me to death doing the rendering process on these, which is why you see me bias towards posting the sketche...

Here's the "why are you doing this to me?" pair to the Wraith :D
The Pouncer was also tossed at me for a redesign job. Such a terrible looking mech. However, I was able to confirm that the old h...
Here's an odd one that a few of you requested. Anyone surprised that we've actually worked on one? :)
This was needed for something special so it landed on my plate to push out.

Here's the usual public shareable mood shot I post for each mech. I made it a separate public post this time to separate it from the other special shot in the main Cicada post :)

Here's the Cicada model. Sculpted by Aaron Harris. His second for the team I believe.
I think it came out great.
Also a render of the Cicada with a Locust was requested, but I thought I'd ...

A lot of you asked to see this one, so here it is! The Rifleman IIC.
I'll also tell you that you wont need to wait too long to see where this design is featured.
Does this cover all the IIC m...
Did you see this one coming? Not my first choice for a mech to be redesigned, but I'd drawn one waaay back for CGL and I can appreciate that it brings a unique kind of ugly to the game haha.

Seeing that the Quickdraw renders were floating around, Harri Kallio asked if he could have his design sketch shared too for everyone to enjoy. I'm making this one a public post right out of the ga...

Keen eyes got a peek at this redesign on a color illustration lately, well here it is in full 3D glory, the Quickdraw.
This one was definitely on the edge of making it into the kickstarter, b...

With the release of Recognition Guide 21 today I can finally show off this design I've worked on. (as things are arranged now, I can't post completely "new to canon" content here before release) 2021-11-13 06:33:58 +0000 UTC View Post
And here we complete the Bishop bonanza. You're all going to be stuck with a bunch of mech 3D renders next month due to me blowing through all sketches this month haha.

Next on the Bishop Bonanza list, the Javelin.
I think this design falls squarely into the utilitarian workhorse look, so when it came to a redesign there wasn't much need to blow it up even i...

One more design of mine before I kick off a Bishop bonanza. Though much credit here should go to David White for his MW4 Flea design. I didn't change too much.
