Eriance's Custom 'Mech design thread

[Eriance]

Coming up with new weapons and equipment loads for these custom "Unseens". Starting with the "Battlelord" (Battlemaster):

Same weight and Movement as before (and without changing the artwork):

16 Double-HeatSinks
16 tons of Standard Armor

Weapons:

1x SNPPC + capacitor - RA
6x LPPCs - LT/RA
1x SMR-6 - LT (ammo: 1 ton)
2x MG - CT (ammo: 0.5 ton)
1x CASE - RT

:snip:

Design has three tons left over, provided an XL fusion engine is used.  Light fusion engine and endo steel fall in at an even 85 tons, but has two critical spaces over the limit.

Using a Standard engine, 6x ER Medium laser, a HPPC + capacitor, and an ECM suite gets you something that matches the artwork.

[Eriance]

I used an Light engine and and Endo steel.

Looking at those, I really wish that FanPro knew you when they decided to do Project Phoenix.

To be honest, I think that Eriance's designs have a bit too many fine details to be appropriate to BT scale.

[Khymerion]

Most drawings do...  but if they can get about even 50% of the details, that would be fine and dandy.

[EricJ]

Finished orgo test - think I did pretty well (I hope). back to finishing up the unseens: Only 2 more to go, I think (excluding IIC stuff).

-Stringer and Marauder

Nice marauder!

[Sandslice]

That Griffin reminds me of the Federation space marine armour from Metroid Prime.  Definitely good stuff~

[EXO-3DK]

Eriance, with your permission I would love an opportunity to build that marauder in 3d......

[Trueborn]

...Good grief - Eri, that helicoptor...  that gun is just WAY too big.  Throws the scale right out.

Hmm, I actually think just the opposite; I like the gun, looks like an UAC-2 to me.

Help yourself. :)

I've seen middle school students draw better-looking machines than what's published in Project Phoenix. That stuff is so juvenile and unbelievable that I have a hard time taking them as "canon."

I've seen middle school students draw better-looking machines than what's published in Project Phoenixand some of the units from TRO: 3085. That stuff is so juvenile and unbelievable that I have a hard time taking them as "canon."

Fixed.  And +1.

[ANS Kamas P81]

I think we can save the bashing for elsewhere, please.  Dislike the art, yes, but try to remember you're talking to one of the people who did it.  Respect isn't just the title of a song.

QFT. A little civility goes a long way.

Your negativity is so juvenile it's unbelievable. Compare the PP stuff to almost any of the 3060 or 3067 mechs... yeah, the PP ones are clear winners, in terms of art.

[Jal Phoenix]

I never had a problem with the Project Phoenix art.  In fact, it's my favorite of all of Lewis' CBT art.  I just like some of Eriance's interpretations better.  I'm not a fan of the anime style stuff that just looks like battle armor, but the Scorpion, the Ost-Mechs, the Longbow and especially the Marauder are excellent. 

[Nebfer]

I do say the Ost Series and that Scorpion are very nice, the Marauder is nice, looking intimidating. The P-Hawk, Valkyrie,  Battlemaster, longbow and Archer are also good looking.

[Eriance]

Art-blocked as hell, thanks to school. So just inked some old sketches to get some art going to relax. Finished the Lei Shen and Tarasque battlemechs.

...I'm waiting to see more of your work in TRO: 3063 - and it damn well better show up in the next official TRO.  TPTB have been warned.

[Snake Eyes]

OMG, What is the Tarasque packing!!!!

[greatsarcasmo]

OMG, What is the Tarasque packing!!!!

Death. Lots of Death...

[Sandslice]

OMG, What is the Tarasque packing!!!!

Four goose rifles.  :)
