I love it! Im not to sure, but i think i can kinda see some of the structure i drew in my old Shadow Cat art. Like the cockpit and the stuff along the top of the head, Where the medium laser is structured. Interesting if they did use it as a reference cause its not to far off.

Hmmm to be honest I like more of your Shadow Cat. The Center Torso and Cockpit look very good.

Yea, some bulk never hurt . It seems just in the perspective of PGI's concept that makes it look thinner cause the other side torso vent next to the cockpit isnt showing. I hope they make the front nose bar as like a part of the special geo. or something.

I am hoping they will use the same cockpit glass layout. Specifically the vertical structural bar down the middle of the glass. So it retains a disticntivness of the Shadow Cat cockpit and provides a new interrior asthetic. No mech has a center bar yet. Put some of those guages and blinky lights on it. Have some of the startup sequence use buttons placed there. Make it "pop".

A middle bar wouldn't work in a computer game (because the center is where the cross-hair is), unless the vision in off-centered.

Coming from a purely IS pilot, you Clanners have some might nice looking mechs. I could go for one them thar' ShadderCats.

In that case, I say we glue the 3rd person drone to the outside front of the vertical center bar and pipe the feed to one or many of the unused auxillary monitors.

Yo hayden do you think you could record your sessions of when you use PS and make timelapse videos of them? I've always wanted to watch you and IH do that kind of stuff. (I know you have videos of other stuff but you haven't in a while.)

No, I don't think I ever did videos. Not opposed to doing one though! I'd have to figure out the logistics.

I like it so far. If you want some constructive criticism though, I do not like that the executioners cockpit (glass) is so less noticible in this variant. Beak is cool looking though. Right shoulder (of the Mech, not the pic) I'd do sth with a JF decal. Looking forward to final version.

Thanks for the feedback!

No more comments? Help me out here, guys.

IDK man, do whatever. I think it'd look cool (with the face) to have scars all the way up the torsos to the "ears". Just throwing crap at the wall and seeing if it sticks, you should do likewise.

How tied are you to having the Falcon's face be on or around the 'mech's head? Because, if you're not... You can move it down to the bottom of the "chest" portion of the CT. There's a trapezoidal plate directly above the waist joint, and just under the more mechanical-looking section that houses the two blue optic lenses. That can serve as a frame for the beak/head of the falcon. Make the wings come off the sides of that, into the two sides of the front of the chest (that straddle the aforementioned mechanical-looking section) and up into the side torsos. Avoid the 'mech's head.

Yes I have, these are what I got the idea from.

OK, only my opinion but I do think the falcon "face" looks awesome so far. The beak I mean. perhaps if you enhance both side windows of the cockpit more than shown in your work in progess it would look better. I think the Executioner face shouldn't be lost doing that.

But maybe your idea turns out well, too. I'd like to see both in the end.

I'd actually mistaken the beak for a blonde moustache and goatee, and was wondering what on earth Odanan was trying for. Maybe that's just the fact that I'm crook at the moment.

[Odanan]

Second try with the Vandervahn Chistu's Executioner... I might settle with that.
Clan Jade Falcon, Turkina Keshik.


It is colorful, isn't it?


EDIT: new version (a little less colorful)

Yes, it is Odanan. Here's something a bit more subdued

Removed the "I am CO, Stravag", as it looks like no one got the reference.

Aff, very green-greeeny indeed)) BTW, technically speaking saKhan is #2, but I doubt that Vandervahn Chistu would be satisfied with such inscription. What do you think about

Khan's insignia instead of "#1"?

[Mech42Ace]

Hey odanan that is a great looking executioner, though it appears the Wording "mercy" on the gauss rifle is a little uneven.

Indeed... but I guess he is the #1 in the Turkina Keshik, right?

It looks like it is not fully aligned with the Gauss barrel, right? Will fix that.
