I added them yesterday. However, some of them are for mechs that aren't included yet since they're in new books ;)

Amazing work!

Could we get an Ostwar?  I'd prefer the paddle armed version from Jihad Hot Spots.

Deadborder,

Thank you for the statement "pants-on-head-******" in addition to these excellent images.

How long does it take you to create such images and what programs/apps do you use?

Time for another Icon dump! To answer questions, I make these in GIMP, and it can take me 15-30 mins per icon, depending on complexity and references. Of course, the fine-tuning can take forever after that...



The Tian-Zong! Gloriously shoot gauss rifles at the enemies of the Capellan People!



Lamprey Transport Helo, the best thing made by the Taurians ever. Ever.



Spectre Battle Armour. It's insanrly hard to do good light BA icons.



Marauder Battle Armour. These things are adorable.

Fresh from the future, it's time for more icons



The Mortis, which is one of the most difficult to draw Icons that I've ever done. Took me forever and I had to re-proportion it a zillion times to boot. Having a mini of it helped immensely.



It's undead buddy, the Cadaver. Nowhere near as complex and/or irritating to do, but still no walk in the park. No mini to ref either...



The Behemoth II tank. Time for Thunderbolt Spam!



Amazon Battle Armour, the best IS medium BA ever. So there.

More icons! Funny noises! Stuff!



The Jade Hawk, which is my newest hardest icon to draw ever. The wings drove me insane, and I both widened and narrowed the torso several times. And yet, I am so very happy with the result.



Neanderthal! Clubbing things! WORNK WORNK WORNK WORNK WORNK!



Mister Bad Touch himself, the Violator. I am inordinately fond of how the drill turned out.



The Tenshi; one of my new personal favourites. Any resemblance to the Archangel icon is purely coincidental. Srsly.

Thank you for the Neanderthal. You got the overall shape right. O0 
Only if you could change the axe head to be a little more material.

Do you think you could draw icons for the Anzu (ZU-G60 & ZU-G70 - the only difference is that -G70 has RAC in the left arm)?
I quite like this little Thor from the Marik-Stewart Commonwealth.

They look awesome.  O0

I'll get them caught up and added when I get finished some of the unit stuff I'm working on done.

Thanks for making these.

Having the MWDA mini in front of me helped a lot on it and a lot of the others.

I've got the Anzu on my to-do list. It's a fun "quirky" 'Mech, and I like quirky.

Annnnnnnnd Aznu! Tell us what you think

The shape is good  O0, but the icon is too small.
When I open it in the MegaMek, the Anzu is really tiny in comparison with the Neanderthal, but it's even smaller than 50-tonner such as the Shockwave. So it looks like it weighs about 40 tons.

No love for the Ost series yet?

So many variants...so much potential.   ;)

The icon looks good aside from the size, which Martian has already pointed out. Seeing as I've been playing around with the Anzu in MegaMek a lot lately, having an early icon is still very nice; thank you!

I believe somebody did that over on Megamek's own forums

Hmm.

Didn't see any.  Lots of other gems there though!

Deadborder's icon's have been beyond excellent and I'm hoping to see his take on the Ost series.  From old-school originals to the Phoenix versions.  A proper Ostwar would definately be appreciated by our group.

His attention to detail is awesome.

Had no idea what an Aznu was, but the icon alone caused me to look it up.

Entirely fair. Though in truth, I'm not happy with the Shockwave (which I also did) which I think is too big.



Aaaaaanyways, here's an updated version. Tell me what you think.

Speaking of Marik mechs...a proper WHM-8M icon would be awesome as well.

After the Ost-series of course!   :D

I'm glad you liked the Anzu and thanks for the feedback, as it helps me a lot. I'm looking to get a couple more out this week.

One upside of doing the Jade Hawk though; it's going to make my life a lot easier when TRO3145:Clans comes about, because you know the Shrike is top of my list.
