Some Kingfisher and MechWarrior game love

[BATTLEMASTER]

Made using Blender and GIMP - Kingfisher 3D model is my own work taking elements from both the original TRO 3058 and RecGuide versions.  One pose I made of the 'mech screamed to me "Make this into a MechWarrior 2 Mercenaries box-style image!"

I'm still a bit of a Blender novice and hope to learn how to do textures soon to make the model look more interesting.  For now, basic material colors will have to do!

Some enhancements, including a mirroring fix

And it all came together as a MW2 expansion I wish we got:  Smoke Jaguar Strike!

This would take place in the Clan Homeworlds between 3000 and 3048, where Clan Smoke Jaguar takes out its frustration with the Dragoon Compromise against the Warden Clans, particularly Clan Wolf, Clan Coyote, Clan Steel Viper, and Clan Goliath Scorpion.

Of course I'd want more 'mechs to play, so like Ghost Bear's Legacy, I'd introduce another twelve here too: Kingfisher, Arctic Cheetah, Mist Lynx, Adder, Viper, Ice Ferret, Lupus, Battle Cobra, Crossbow, Woodsman, Shadow Cat, and Supernova

A redditor suggested that I try a jungle theme...
