Since they are/were a trend, I figured I'd made a thread for the coloured TRO artwork that I've done so far.

A larget version of the AS7-K2 Atlas I'm using for my current avatar. While some don't like the art, I'm rather fond of it myself. As for the, uh, unusual colour sceme, well, if you know the origns of my Username, you'd understand.

More to come when I get to it.

Makes that mech look pretty sharp

I like the scheme, but it's so dark it washes out all the detail lines.

Thanks for that. I'll lighten it up a little.

As a question, does anyone have a good scan of the CRD-8S Crusader art from TRO PP that they could lend a guy? my scanner is deader than the Black Thorns right now.

You might want to check out the PP Mech images at PRI (http://www.pryderockindustries.com/graphics.php#Mechs).

And now, after an eternity of waiting, we have #2, which was done as a favour to a friend. They chose the colours, and I laughed. And laughed.

That TW must have a Nova Cat warrior inside.

A mechwarrior walks down the street in that mech, people know that he or she isn't afraid of anything.

Nice coloring job.

It's a Timber Wolf for Legally Blonde.

I thought it was for Red Comet.

Demon55 · « **Reply #10 on:** 19 February 2011, 19:45:19 »

Maybe both.

After a shockingly short time - most of which consisted of me swearing becuse I screwed it up at 99% completion - I have a new one!

"Grace", the Phoenix Hawk IIC used by "Gunsligner" Andrzej Slawski in the fanfic A Brighter Future and a Better Life. Once again, we have an... eccentric colour scheme. Enjoy!

And yes, this is a way of procrastinating rather than working on actual fic.

Those are really cool.........what program do you use to color the pics

M-Rex · « **Reply #13 on:** 24 February 2011, 12:00:08 »

I use GiMP, which is a pretty easy-to-use free graphics program. The process is long and ardous, but works pretty well... as long as you don't screw up at 99% completion.

The secret is to save every 2 or three minutes. The only this I can say about your pics is that I would have rather seen the original Atlas instead of the Atlas 2. But great work. . . Oh and the Timberwolf pilots name is Sue. . . He is one tough SOB.

For a slight change of stylistic pace, some of Dave White's utterly awesome Mechwarrior 4 concept art

This is "Knightmare", the Black Knight used by engimatic Band of Five Mechwarrior TF Allen in some of my fics. The colour scheme is as close as I could match to the Bannson's Raiders standard with some experimental adding of extra detailing and insingias

Demon55 · « **Reply #17 on:** 01 March 2011, 14:41:21 »

The BK out of Black Knight for MW4, nice. Ugly and deadly and thus beautiful in its own way.

maxoconnor · « **Reply #18 on:** 01 March 2011, 15:54:48 »

LOVE that Black Knight. Really well done. I do like the Banson's Raiders scheme. 8)

And a second version of "Knightmare", meant to represent Allen as an independant gunslinger. I did it mainly for fun; wheather or not I use this version is another matter.
