The Catapult is nice, but personally, I do not like that right launcher painted in yellow.

Yes indeed a lot of work went into this one. I didn't expect that much positive feedback. Thanks, and thanks Garth. If Piranha can throw just a few more inspiring action, terrain and mech concept images our way, this would even inspire us further ;-) ... no undue pressure here, just enthusiasm!

There's always the new Ice Planet one

However, yes I am working on getting you guys more images to use.

Yeah, Sub-Unit colors, what can ya do. Just like the uniforms the left arm is always in the colors of the battalion. It's takes it's cue from the uniforms.


I'll be doing one in cream/dark blue too, though I may do that with the K variant since fire support isn't really the Swing Array's schtick.

Pretty strange pick of colors, but since it is not your fault...

[Threat Doc]

I actually like it; have to have some way of distinguishing your unit, yes? Nicely done; I think the colors are just right.

Garth,

Thanks for working on that; we are all eager to get more. In the meantime, your first sentence does sound like a challenge...

[Ironhawk]

OK since Garth is putting us somewhat up for an Ice Planet challenge, I did a quick Atlas Hunters (AH) site banner art work on the Frozen City Concept. The original image from Piranha-Games has been tuned up just a bit to match AH site tones and highlight the featured Catapult Mech design. Subtle coloring additions enforce the ice and snow tones of the forsaken cityscape, counterbalanced by light accent colors and logo decal on the Mech, hinting the Catapult is one of our own Atlas Hunters on the watch…

Note that the Mech has been repositioned to be closer to ground level in order to show the cityscape in a more dramatic way given the constraints the banner format.



I did want to start a poster format like the cockpit design posted earlier but found that the Frozen City Concept image is too small, creating resolution problems in a larger image at this point. I have nonetheless started work on a new poster (no guarantees here on completion) with a Vulture (felt like the natural choice given cockpit feedback.)

Holy smokes, that is really well-done. Nice.

Your next mission is to send me a cheque for one million dollars to give me a wicked UrbanMech in one of our pictures.
Should you choose to accept it.

And what kind of positive consequences shall we expect? Maybe we need a little motivation? We all like carrots. Just saying.

Give us UrbanMech picture for MW:O and we will give you the "wicked UrbanMech". Only MW:O pictures, of course, no cheating.

any chance i could get a grey death legion hunchback

I'll see what I can do about 'motivation.'

What the heck is a "cheque"? Color me confused.

[Garth Erlam]

That's what 99% of the English-speaking world calls that thing you get your pay via

[Dihm]

You were supposed to have an aneurysm over me spelling it "color".

I tried photoshopping a jumping urbie into the Frozen City concept, but couldn't get the perspective and the blending right.

It needs more dakka. And to be painted red.
