More mech art
« on: 19 October 2018, 05:24:26 »
Here's a render of my latest project, with a paint job. Iḿ not totally happy with the colors- I'm still leaning towards Kurita red- but this is still an initial render.

If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

I finally have a name to that face: Man o' War KU. A Kuritan face lift to a Clan Mech, using IS materials. Equipped with 3 Snub-Nosed PPC's and 3 ER Small Lasers. Doesn't even have to be a omni, just an excuse for them to use a 400 XL rated engine on a frame proven to function well with that large of a engine...

Cool. I haven't settled on stats yet, but I did have a working name of SAM-001 Samson. Interesting that you picked up on the Man O'War similarity- it wasn't intentional, but it's unmistakeably there. Good call  8) :thumbsup:

Nice work!  I like the proportions on this one.  Which "eye" does the mechwarrior sit behind?

Thanks! Working on a new render now, I'll try to post it today.

I'd imagine that the mechwarrior sits more or less in the middle; the cockpit would resemble the driver's seat of a modern bus- big wide windows for better visibility  :)
