Got rid of those yellow lines and added some MechCommander-style personal stats B)

Thanks! No Hunchie because I don't own any. These are the mechs I own and the builds that I run. Of course, now I also own the Locust and Shadowhawk variants... and I'm buying the Victors. They'll be in the next version, I guess.

Hmm, come to think of it, I forgot to add the X-5 to the list of Cicada variants. I don't own one, so I'll put it in red like I did with the Pretty Baby.

I've drawn some more stomp-bots. Time to change my sig again.

I may have to do all mechs in the game, at some point. Ugh... I'm supposed to be doing more important things with my time.

Hah. I don't know what word got censored there, but I will happily point out that all models were above 18 years of age when I painted them in MS Paint.

Hmm, I never realized NGNG was an episode in the Battletech animated series.

Seriousily love it. If mechwarrior ever went back in time on those table top arcades back early 80s. Would absolutely buy one. Keep it up.

Maybe it's a good thing that PGI has no idea how much money I'd pay for the Somerset package, because it's pretty much a blank check.

Hah, well put. Yeah, I'm looking forward to the Clans, I'm sure it'll be awesome. Put the chance to smack evil clanners with a giant robot axe? You can't put a price on that.

Man I'd love to get into Pixel art more. Mine is more a mix between anime and life style heres a look. I'd love to team up with Alistair and do something really awesome.

Nice work. I've never even heard of "life style". Would be nice to see some more Battletech pixel art. Personally, I find pixel art immensely challenging.

If you want to get started, I recommend www.pixeljoint.com. There are some real masterful artists helping new guys on that site, they'll help you out. My artist name is CELS over there.

Could always redo the old Crescent Hawk games. The good news would be I used to do bit art too. So artist wise we could probably get a few guys on it. Bad news is well Programmers and someone who knows what the hecks up. We would definitly need a director.
