I'd like to find an artist willing to share their talents. I don't have the ability to pay you with money but what I can do is share your artwork on my Pinterest board. I've got 370 followers on my mech board that your artwork would be exposed to and shared by. I realize this isn't anything major or super noteable but it's the only card I've got other then "pretty please".

The mech I'd like done is: The Nightstar

You can post your artwork here, on your own thread or just message me, whichever you prefer.

Thank you in advance and if you have any other awesome pieces of artwork I'd love to see them as well.

Well, I just finished my latest project, so I guess I could give Nightstar a try.If I think it's good enough, I'll post it here.

If you find more images of it, let me know.It really helps when you can draw inspiration from multiple sources.

Sadly there isn't a great deal of artwork on this mech. I found a different angle of a mini but that's it.

The good news is the lore about this mech states that it's the last mech in the Marauder line of mechs, it's the ultimate Marauder basically. That means you could take some cues from the Marauder on this mech. I think Bishop had the right idea to make it a beefier Marauder.

I hope that helps, I looked for a long time for more artwork.

Personally, I'd not have the arms forward like on the minis, I'd put em going to the side like Bishop's.

You could probably look at MWO's Marauder for more reference.

Hmm... Yeah, true. A pity I think that's possibly the worst piece I've ever seen Alex produce. But maybe.

Ohhh man, I'm excited! Your Novacat is one of the best pieces on the forums.

Of course, I don't want to pressure anyone. Getting responses from you talented guys is very appreciated.

Some minis look very much like MWO's Marauder, but with huge arms (I mean, arms with lots of guns).

Individual tastes vary.

To me, it looks very much like an homage to Shimmering Swords Marauder. And I always felt Shims's Marauder looked too bulky and bloaty to be a MAD, but more like a MAD II.

There's no insectoid menace to our Marauder. The arms certainly don't have some "new and unique joint design" giving it a wider field of fire, etc. To me it just looks very stiff and clumsy (though actually decent from behind). A little too Goodyear Blimpy.

*shrugs*

It's coming along beautifully! I think the only things I'd modify is the feet, they look a little small. I think it's also distinguished from being a Marauder by having the legs bent more, a more squat profile. I'm thinking of the Sarna page's picture for the legs & belly/under the body.

Thanks again for taking the time. :)

Ok, I adjusted the knees slightly, but not sure about the feet.Should they be longer or wider?Or maybe add extra toes on the sides?

I was thinking both maybe? Or if you like, you could try doing the "hoof" like foot from the sarna page. I kinda feel like the feet wouldn't support the mech... Idk, maybe it's just me criticising an unfinished drawing.

If anyone else has an opinion on how to do the Nightstar, feel free to share as long as its constructive.

I realised that the rear part of the foot is way too short.So I'll increas that and maybe add some small bits on the sides.Should be fine.
