Mechs my way...

[Defender]

No updates just yet, work and other stuff has gotten in the way.

I almost finished adding detail to the Whammy leg, I might even colour this one, but against a white backdrop it always looks odd... Maybe I'll just texture it a bit.

Next stop the Stalker because I really want to try and de-tardify that one...

Can you do the Orion? I'd love you long time.

[Squibby]

Could do,

Is it this prancy looking fellow (rofl pose) ? I can give it a shot,

[Defender]

Pretty much. A revamp of the Mechwarrior 3 Orion would be special.
It holds a nostalgic place in my tiny little heart.

What's in it's clobberin' arm? going by Sarna that's a SRM4?!?

Also I doubt I'd make the Orion look exactly like that.

I'm thinking offset cockpit to actually fit the LRM15 (I'd keep the shape though, it's pretty iconic),
The missile pod club arm really does not work for me, it's too wimpy a weapon to devote an entire arm... I might reshuffle the 2x med lasers to that side to create a combined SRM4 + laser arm, maybe mount it in-line with the cockpit (see my Holly) or at least make it a bit less beefy.
The AC10 arm on the other hands needs a bit of buffing out.

Not quite, Battletech is notorious for art work that doesn't match the asset.  Makes it one of the more than a handful of 'Mechs that are in the same boat.

Orion has the Medium lasers, one to each arm, the SRM and LRM are in the LT, while the Autocannon is on it's hip in the RT.  Sarna has a decent one that actually looks the part, so to speak.

Good looking stuff, BTW, Squibs.

[Squibby]

Hmm, that looks quite good, a bit like FDs work (or at least similar to his style)

I've roughly blocked out my version, pretty much what I was talking about (sorry alph didn't see your pic) except the lasers are split between the RT and LA. The AC10 is in the RA and the LRM15 is in the RT. Also quite a bit more beefy looking, it is 75 tons after all.

edit, reworked the legs for a more animated pose...

Also another WIP Whammy, I've detailed the legs a bit but I largely got distracted by the Orion

Nicely done Squibby!

Not a huge fan of your Osiris. While it looks awesome it is too similar to other mechs for it to work well for me. It lost what made it recognizable at a glance. The elongated nose makes it look more like an Owens or a Raven. So for a re-design I would disapprove of it.

Only other comment I have is on the Hollander. Love the over all look on it, but the left arm looks a bit weird. I can not make sense of how it is mounted to the torso. Positioned as high as it is it seems like had the joint would be on the head and half on the torso. I think it would have made more sense lowering the left arm and place it more center on torso. It would have also given it a more of an offset look (traditionally more often achieved with the offset cockpit). I kinda like the spindly tiny arms of the original, but I have no problems at all with your redesign removing them (more or less). It is still very much recognizable as a Hollander I think and the added focus on the huge ass gun is very very nice.

Looking forward to seeing more of these! ^^

/Merf - Of opinions, there are plenty

[Squibby]

Thanks for the feedback Merf,

I admit the nose on the Osiris did come out a bit longer and more hooky than I wanted it to (looks similar to a raven, yes...)
As for the Holly, the arms aren't actually arms, rather just swivelling weapon pods (pitch only) fixed to the torso. Since my Holly needs to crouch to shoot accurately with it's main gun, having it's lasers mounted low down might render them un-usable if behind a small hill for example. Having everything in-line with the cockpit (and main gun) allows them to all be used from a 'hull down' position.

Just my thinking behind it all anyway... I do agree maybe a bit of horizontal spacing between the gun and the cockpit is needed, it is fitting a bit close together. I also think the negative space of the main gun mount requires some re-work. I might revisit it at some point.

[Squibby]

Still no updates ,

I definitely haven't given up and played BF3 for the last few days (not completely anyway...)

I'm still detailing the Orion, I have to say the mech looks really good and It's a marked improvement in terms of detail from my last attempts.

[Squibby]

Orion done,

Stalker up next, or maybe I'll finish my Whammy I dunno...

[Hartsblade}12th VR{]

Looking great Squibby!!

Please finish the Whammy 

[~SJ~ Xarg Talasko]

I totally had that mystery light pegged as a Flea, y u draw osiris :|. Also, any chance of a Hellbringer, preferably the prime?

[Flow]

not retarded looking enough

just swap out the arms for massive wings and turn the legs into massive rocket boosters

Not retarded enough for ya?

This would be my goto mech.

Excellent work dude. I like what you did with the Orion.

[Bear]

Mate a small breed with a large breed.

And by that I mean, I wanna see a Jenner smashed together with a Gargoyle. Or maybe a Nova... take your pick
