Nice! Looks like the Leopard 2 and the Challenger had a baby.  :)
Some Type 90 vibes, but I subsume that under Leo 2 anyway.  >:D

Yeah, that iteration of Aquilia's design wasn't working for me. This new one's hair is a little more Lyran-feeling than the original cut, but there's a certain charm missing...

Pretty sure there's something salvageably BattleTech in this:

Really? Huh. I've been looking at your stuff for technique and inspiration for the longest time.

I assume it'd be walking on rough terrain or sand. Depends on how fine the crystals are.

Contrary to popular belief, not dead, and now with BT-related stuff for someone who needed a MechWarrior visualized.

I like the tank concept! Is it a custom unit, or is it a redesign?

Looks like something out of Advance Wars.

I've been getting that a lot. The more-finished version doesn't help things. I think the model the 3D guys made is even more cartoonish than this.

If it WAS realistic, I wouldn't be calling it BT-like, would I? :D

Every tanker fiber in my body is screaming out "wrong!" :D Why is it so super-deformed, anyway?

The art director insisted on the proportions since it's supposed to be a light tank with a Sheridan/Starship-style gun launcher.

I did provide some saner alternatives, but what the art director wants, he gets. Next update should have some Solaris-related environments and vignettes though, which should be fun.

... You have seen the canon BT tank designs, right? It's a little late to start screaming internally because someone wanted a BTU Metal Slug ;D

Trying to daub something together that looks Solaris-like, and these three were some initial passes:



Definitely have more in the works, and I still need to finish this thing. Abusing the hell out of photo plates only gets me so far.

"Hey, why not start more Solaris studies without finishing what you started?"

Great idea!



Using smart-fill is starting to become a crutch for me starting these sorts of things...

Looks great!  :) Out of curiosity, what are these for? Are they illustrations for a book or are they something you're doing for fun?
