Timber Wolf painted in TRO 3050 cover art
« on: 26 March 2017, 16:43:57 »
Back to the forums! A month ago I painted one of my Ral Partha Timber Wolves for a contest. I decided since the subject was around old designs ver. new designs, I'd do a tribute to the old TRO 3050 cover art. I kinda got the idea from seeing Hauptmann Fanjoy's "Spirit of 3050", another Timber Wolf painted after the artwork as well.
     This was a rather challenging paint job, giving me a real lesson on patience and balance. That said, it was a lot of fun to do! It also helps to have battletech inspired music or videos in the background as well ;D. Afterwards, I had a little fun with a photo editing app (really nothing special).

So sweet!  You really captured it nicely!  And a great job with the background, I should add.  I aspire to one day do one in the style of the 1990 compendium cover (another iconic CGB madcat).

Nicely done Vash! The lighting and background look spot on and I really like the cockpit Jeweling!

Nice one.

Things that I have learnt through clicking too fast on 'Move Done' on MegaMek: Double-check the CF of the building before jumping onto it, check artillery arrival times before standing in the neighbouring hex, and don't run across your own minefield.

Thanks! Also,I really want to see you paint a Timber Wolf up like that compendium art!

As for the terrain, it was all my old hills I made out of pink-foam, atop a giant bulletin board with rocks strewn over it, and blue paper towels for the sky ;D
