Time for another Star League mech, the Black Knight. (King Crab might be soon).
Those who have read Shattered Fortress saw a glimpse of this design. I wanted to pull off the extreme humanoid look for the grogs at least once :)
I rarely find full humanoid looks appropriate for modern Batt...
The trio of Marauders is complete! PPCs coming your way.
Marauder IIC just finished final fixes and posing so I wanted to display them all together. I really like how it came out. Sculpted by Alex Immerzeel with some final editing by me.
Anyone planning on chopping some of these up to mi...

Here's one I'm sure plenty will enjoy, at least you Fedrats will :P
This is one of the smoother coming together designs I've worked on for a bit, as I included Alex Iglesias' great looking Lu Wei Bing in the reference pile. I worked backwards from that piece, decimating down the details a b...

Here's the whole lance together as usual.
The hurting starts at a distance and only gets worse as they close.
Nuff said.

With the Orion locked in today, it's time to push out these full Lance renders.
I think this is a must-buy lance for a lot of people, but at this point is seems every single mech here has some sort of drama surrounding it haha.
I hope you like it overall.

Anyone call for fire support?
Here's a collection of sculpts from various packs that got finished up recently. After putting them all side by side I noticed a certain presence of long range missiles. Though that Orion and Bushwacker can lay down some serious medium and close range lead too.

Still a few minor tweaks to do on this model, but here, have another Behemoth shot.
This one is public to share around too. Enjoy!
Here's the whole Support Star in one shot. Quite a bit of punch for their tonnage.
Who else is glad we've finally got a canon miniature for the CCG Black Lanner?

Some of this crew have been waiting on the sidelines for a while, but the last few just came across the finish line today, all ready to head off for production.
I'd call these a good second string group. Not the main popular mechs, but definitely mechs you're likely to want when filling out yo...
Birb time!
Raven mech ready to send off for the bosses approvals.
I like the MWO Raven but I know not everyone is a fan of the very angular departure it made, so I committed to pulling off the curved torso. Luckily I'd explored this many years ago in a fan commission so I had a starting poi...
Making this post to remind everyone on here what a great support you've been to me. The feedback is great, but of course we can be real here, the money immensely helps me in day to day life. Not having to worry about where roughly half of my bill money comes from is huge.
Thanks for stickin...

Here's some more 3D mech goodness, all images public so go ahead and share them around.
Another sculpt by Alan Blackwell. (See a trend? He's fast!)
Ready to cave some cockpits in. And when the mech is too tall? Relieve some knee actuators.

Was a little hard to count up who was requesting what for additional renders, but I saw a mention or two for the Grasshopper so I'll start here :)
Sculpt by Alan Blackwell.
You have permission to publicly re-post the up close torso shot elsewhere, the rest keep to patreon for now. 2020-02-10 12:44:21 +0000 UTC View Post
The Panther, designed by Dale Eadeh, with oversight and draw-over by my as usual.
This one hasn't completed approvals from above yet, but Dale wanted me to show this one off ASAP. I think it looks cool so hopefully wont change much if at all in final.

Here's a redesign by Bishop Steiner, the Mercury. Maybe he can come into the comment section and give his thoughts on the design process for this one.
From my end as the design director I can say from the get go the plan was to go heavy on visual improvement at the cost of retaining the old...

This force has grown quite a bit since I last posted such a render, time for another!
Things move so fast, I've already added a very good looking Black Lanner to the set since making this shot 2 days ago.
This image is public, so feel free to share it. Enjoy!

Here's another Lance complete, including the Centurion which I don't think has been shown off at all yet.
I think this is a pretty cool lance for not being made up of the typical superstars of the setting, but all important workhorse mechs that you're going to want filling out your armies.<...

Has anyone dreamed of a good looking Flashman before? Well, now you don't have to.
Giorgio Espinos and I worked together on this one, taking his old design and updating it to fit into our official aesthetic.
I think we've managed to skip "ironically cool" and go straight to truly good lo...

Time for a good one. The Ebon Jaguar / Cauldron Born.
I tend to go back and forth on which side of Clan mech names I use because I often pick the shorter or catchier of the two.
So why does this mech have to have two long names that are half cool half weird? D:
Mech sure looks cool th...

Here's the final Orion model, pending any final tweaks.
Hopefully final cockpit included too, which came about from a few more rounds of internal discussion.

Time for another big girl. The Nightstar.
I asked Giorgio Espinos permission to reference several of his designs and this is one that stuck out to me a lot, so if you've seen his you'll see strong influences here.
One special feature is giving it telescoping claws instead of fixed hands ...
It's missile massacre time!
Taking on this lance of Longbow, Stalker, Zeus, and Trebuchet would be brutal. Add a few jumpy battle armor guiding indirect fire and you're definitely toast.
I'm sure many of you can guess the process already, I pick what I consider all the good bits of vario...

Here are the single renders of each mech in the Clan Fire Star.
Cougar, Kit Fox, Fire Moth, Nova Cat, and Warhawk.
Which is your favorite of the set?
I really wanted these in Wave One but things piled up fast.
With the Cougar in, look what's come together!
Still not much a fan of the Fire Moth, but the other 4 are pretty nice mechs.
Making this public considering the pledge manager is still up. Feel free to share if you want :)

How's she look?
Other than the original miniature falling a little short, Battletech is full of good Cougar art, so I never wanted to change it much. More wanting to collect all the best parts and put them together.
Most of that boiled down to combining Matt Plog's great lineart with the...
Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you had a good time. For the rest I hope this Stalker improves your week.
Which way do you like the legs on your Stalkers?

What do you think of this heavy referencing of the Japanese Stalker torso?
The Stalker is a very ugly/joked mech so I think this is an interesting route to make it look more aggressive, instead of a blimp, dildo, or going the mwo octagon route.

Is this any level of notable improvement to the people who were on the fence about the Atlas sculpt? I know it wont make the more planted against crowd much happier, but wanted to try easing things over a bit.
There is quite a laundry list of edits here, not just on the head either, maybe y...
