Of course, this is only a side project of mine and I have absolutuely no intentions of distributing the model nor 3D prints of it. However, I will allow those with a 3D printer to use my orthos to make their own. :)

That would be strongly contraindicated - counts as distribution.

"Personal use only" means fairly strictly "you do it, you can have it. Someone else does it, legal lines just done be crossed."

Hey guys, quick question. I'm going to start redesigning my first vehicle, and I've settled on the Shrek PPC carrier. Trouble is, I think the design is great already and I can't really find any fault in it.

With that said, if you could change anything about the design, what would it be?

Thanks and any comment welcome!

The driver's cupola could use some work. From what little I understand of tank engineering(all learned on this forum), the way it's drawn right now, the right ride tracks and the driver's gastrointestinal tract occupy the same space. Unless you're Manei Domini, that can't be healthy.

My apologies WT, will not be posting orthos any further. Not trying to argue, but wouldn't my orthos count as fan art, and what others do with my fan art would be their own business?

With all do respect, I don't find something someone did off of their own time based off of images they found on the web as crossing legal lines. That'd be the same as slapping someone with a C&D for posting their own fan art on DeviantArt and allowing people to download it, for free. Again, not trying to argue, and I post this with all due respect.

Mid summer, 2796, Kentares IV. A picture taken by a Davion Soldier shows the debris of a once proud city, now lying in ruin. This would come to be known as one of the first strikes by the DCMS in retaliation for the assassination of Coordinator Minoru Kurita, one of the most infamous warcrimes in history; The Kentares Massacre.

Been messing around with single point perspectives lately, thanks for looking, any and all feedback welcome!

New redesign - Since I heard we probably won't be seeing the classic crusader for a while, I decided to have a go at redesigning it, to have a look at how similar it is to the official artwork when it comes out.

Thoughts, feedback and opinions are always welcome, and thanks for looking!

Really nice, Mech42ace.

Yea that pic does have a very "Classic" feel to it.

Reviving the thread with some art that I've done for DQIII on the Aries Games and Miniatures forums, first off, with the Sobek! He commisioned me to draw it for the up and coming Aries Fan Tro with his stats and feedback on the design!

Thanks for looking, and feedback always welcome, always looking for ways to improve!

worktroll · « **Reply #40 on:** 27 December 2017, 13:27:46 »

a) Wish I could draw that well
b) Getting a 60-ton vibe here, and the arms look too small. Just a thought. What're the specs for it meant to be?

Mech42ace · « **Reply #41 on:** 27 December 2017, 20:02:32 »

You're close! It's statted at 80 tons, with 4 medium pulse lasers, one in each arm, one in the head, and one in the center torso, with a UAC/20 in the Right Torso.

Mech42ace · « **Reply #42 on:** 29 December 2017, 01:41:16 »

Art for another one of DQIII's designs for the Aries fan TRO; the Daggerstar!
At this point it's still awaiting his approval, but the base stats are as follows

100 Tons
Gauss Rifle - RT
SRM 6 x2 - LT (at this point I just realized I put it on the RT, oops... Shouldn't be too hard to fix.)
ER PPC - RA
ER PPC - LA
ER Med Laser - RA
ER Med Laser - LA

That reminds me of bigger version of the Marik reseen Warhammer, or the 8M.

Good stufff, Mech42ace!

Thanks! I took inspiration from the Warhammer IIC in particular, as I drew it off of the art for it to get the perspective correct - I've never even tried to do a pose this dynamic before! So it was a big help.

Here's the inked, unshaded version of the design! Will have the shaded, finished art tomorrow!

lucho · « **Reply #45 on:** 02 January 2018, 06:19:21 »

Looking good! 8)

Am I seeing this right? It looks like a torso mounted cockpit?

Mech42ace · « **Reply #46 on:** 02 January 2018, 13:21:55 »

You'd be correct!

Here's the finished version! This time I used the new MS paint 3D instead of an app I have on my tablet, in hopes of doubling the resolution of my usual concepts. This may not be the new norm, but I hope to do this on projects in the future! (High res version can be found on my Deviantart, found here: https://ageiger42.deviantart.com/art/Battletech-Daggerstar-723390723?ga_submit_new=10%3A1514916972)

As always, feedback welcome, always looking for ways to improve!

Nice and clean picture. It's pretty cool, Mech42ace!

IAMCLANWOLF · « **Reply #48 on:** 05 January 2018, 13:20:05 »

Very nice progress, man. I really like to see your improvement. I've never been a fan of the soft-covering over actuators. If I had one suggestion, it would be to take the time to draw-in cylindrical actuators. Good stuff!

Wrangler · « **Reply #49 on:** 05 January 2018, 14:50:56 »

Come to think of it, the art reminds me Battlechnology art work (good ones)! O0

Mech42ace · « **Reply #50 on:** 06 January 2018, 01:21:44 »

Glad to see you like it guys! :)

I've said this in another thread, but that means a lot coming from you! I'm a huge fan of your concepts and they've been a great inspiration for me. I'll definitely work on your suggestion!

IAMCLANWOLF · « **Reply #51 on:** 08 January 2018, 11:55:52 »

Thanks man. Happy you like them. Can't wait to see your future mech designs!

Mech42ace · « **Reply #52 on:** 17 January 2018, 21:49:47 »

The last few weeks have been very hectic, so I haven't gotten as much work done on this as I wanted, but regardless, here's another Mech done for DQIII for the Aries Fan Tro, the Flanker!

30 tons
ER PPC - RT
1 Med Pulse Laser LA
1 Med Pulse Laser RA

Thanks for looking, and I'll have the inked, finalized version ready in a few days.
Feedback welcome!

Keep up the great work Mech42ace!

Mech42ace · « **Reply #54 on:** 22 February 2018, 19:09:41 »

Wow, didn't realize it's been this long since I posted, life has gotten the better of me the past few weeks. Anyway, here's the finished art for the Flanker!

Loadout is as follows -
30 Tons
ER PPC - RT
Med Pulse Laser - RA
Med Pulse Laser - LA

Thoughts and feedback appreciated! As usual, the Full-Res version can be found at my Deviantart. (https://ageiger42.deviantart.com/art/Battletech-Flanker-732316371)

New Mech art! Here's the next mech I worked on for DQIII, the Pit Viper! This one I 3D modeled entirely. I probably won't do any other concepts this way because of my limited access to the software, haha.

Base States are
Tonnage - 35
LRM 15 - LT
ER Large Laser - RA
ER Large Laser - LA

I did pick up this cheap 3D modeling program called ViaCad a few days ago (It was on the shelf for 10$ but it rang up as a penny! My geuss is that they just wanted it gone because of how old it is. It's designed to work with Windows XP, afterall!) Anyways, I'll see what I can do with it and if it's worthwhile.

As usual, the full res version can be found on my Deviantart page!

New Mech Art - the Jadewing!

Feedback appreciated!

lucho · « **Reply #57 on:** 16 March 2018, 18:49:19 »

Very interesting! A variation on the Pit Viper?
