I think we can all rest assured that no matter how cool Alex' concept art looks, it will look completely different once the 3D artists get their hands on it. (Ref: Trebuchet, Highlander, Victor...)

I've always found this sentiment to be insane. Just rotate those 2D pictures around in your brain. They look just like the 3D models. The cockpit statues are a great example of this. They're posed just like the concept art and look just right from that angel.

If you really must complain, complain that our mechs don't use those organic, heroic poses on the battlefield.

It's a unseen mech so its not going look like the original.

I'm not sure what's better, the lunchbox, or what's on the lunchbox. Much win to be had.

Alright, settle down. I've complained about that as well, many times, if it's any consolation to you.

If someone can actually manipulate the 3D models in the game files to look exactly like the art by Alex, I'll eat my words. Untill then, I'm afraid we're getting different results when we rotate those 2D pictures around in our brains.

I would also like Alex's version to be a bit more compact and bulky, although as others have said this is just early concept art but feedback is often a good thing. Either way I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

I will take the PGI work in progress over that bubble mech you posted. That thing is an abomination.

Here, Here.

Is that from Red Dawn?

[Queen ChrysaIis]

Not sure if this is a completed art, but yeah, have to admit, it doesn't look like a real wolverine...

[Tennex]

the original would be way too bulky for a medium mech

i've erased and started over about 4 times since that point of the screencap

I am begging you to keep any rounded parts that exist in the original art (also go back and round out the Jagermech) .

PGI needs to sell that on t-shirts: They'd make a FORTUNE!

An icon you say? Do you really want this to run around you in the future?



I'm hoping for Wolverine-7H deal with the laser where it's mounted directly above the head... Hunchback/Awesome taken a step further.... just imagine equipping a flamer in that spot.

It'd be more of a Dragon than the Dragon .

i been drawing as far back as i remember, which would put the start date at about 3 or 4 years old

i think i remember drawing airplanes and tanks shooting at each other and stuff exploding. so at least in that regard, not much has changed

Oh god, now the conspiracy theorists are going to take that out of context and claim it is a hint about LAMs .

WHAT. HAVE. YOU. DONE?!

This DEFINITELY needs to be on a t-shirt.

that was the 3d artist. In the concept art the Jagermech's CT protruded into a barrel shape more. But it was flattened out in the translation from 2D to 3D.

Yeah I know, but the more rounded the concept art the harder it will be for him to justify making it another walking brick.
