Thank you, gentlemen, that image represents quite a lot of work over the preceding 5 days. The only bits not created out of whole cloth (as it were) are the 4 game-assets; I very literally drew or composited every last piece of that image by hand, usually no more than 10-square pixels at a time with an incredible amount of transparency - the horses head represents 50-some layers all by itself.

So, as a member of the dev team with other work to do - and standards to maintain - I reserved the right to make a late entry (given as I'm capable of inserting stuff into the game myself ;)) for CHHš. After some days of work (including a succession of .psd's up to 75mb in size with more than 90 visible layers and almost 60 hidden ones), and a special thank you to 7WD.Ragor and MWLL-Ingrater for supplying the screenshots I used of the 4 game assets, I present you with the CHHš entry:

Not meaning to be critical, since I really like the overall design and look of the poster, but I really think it'd be a huge improvement if the elemental shot were changed and perhaps a different tank/shot were used.  The right side of the poster is really clearly defined - the Loki and aerospace are clearly recognizable immediately - but the left side is actually kind of cluttered a bit.  It took me a moment of looking at it to realize it was a hovercraft in the image (because it's heading away from the camera, not towards it like the other two) and the elemental, even knowing what it is and recognizing the legs and back, is really really hard to make out.  It took me even longer to identify it's a battle armor (again, I think because it's heading away from the camera).

It's definitely a sleek design and I appreciate the posters that show original design to them and avoid taking the "screen shot/TRO with text on top" route, I just think personally it would improve the crispness and at-a-glance viewing of the image a huge amount by making the armor/infantry images more easily recognizable and bold, like the Areospace and 'mech images.
I will personally hunt you down and poptart your leg while your back is turned and you're in your base.

Victor did not suggest to remove or exchange them, more to take a screenshot where you see these units from a different angle - at least not from the back.  ;)

This was done by our Loremaster Ryu, I posted it here for him so give him the creds. The 88th CAV is the Oathmaster's personal unit. ;D

Hey sorry Devs,

I am not sure if my poster got accepted into the build, but I would like to submit a updated one. All that is updated is the website due to the Smoke Jaguars introducing me to Enjin.

If my poster was accepted I hope it is a simple progress to just swap a texture :/
But go to the separate links and you will agree the change is worth it LOL

I know The Living Legends are a mercenary unit, but the sheer number of clan mechs in the posters would have me thinking they were from clan space or funded by Clan Nova Cat or Diamond Shark. :P

But you know me, I'm a pure tech purist.
