Helepolis mech art
« on: 23 February 2018, 03:59:37 »
I originally posted this on the HBS battletech forums, but it seems that those forums are shutting down next week, so i thought i might as well post it here as well.
It probably makes more sense here, since Helepolis isn't a mech that's appearing in the game anyway.
I always liked weird and unusual mech designs, and seeing how Helepolis is really one of a kind mech design, with the 20 ton Sniper Artillery Piece crammed into it.


I know i'm not the greatest artist around, but i felt it came out pretty well.

First things first, never sell yourself short! This is bloody superb! :) You really captured it and I like the changes to it and the shift in the looks, it's a mean looking bit of kit.

Great work!

I really like it. It looks a bit skinnier than Brent Evans original art, but maybe thats just because of the perspective. Keep up the good work, and I hope you draw some other mechs in the future.

They're moving over to Paradox forums, of which i'm not a big fan of, to be honest.

And thanks.

we all know that the helepolis was designed as a quad - simple because with 4 legs its a more stable firing platform.
unfortunately the building rules drop the needed 6 slots of the arms - (they really really should increase the torso crits instead) (4 for each side and 2 additional for the CT)
evoila - you can have your sniper artillery piece on a quad  :)

THAT is truly fantastic! And the colorized version really pops and brings it to life.

Nicely done, and hope we see more like this!
