I used to submit some repaints and mech edits to the amazing "Repainted Concept Art" thread.

The problem is, they are all scattered along the thousands of replies the topic has.

So, I decided to put all together in this topic - maybe you will find something new here.

The repaints are in order of execution. As you can see, I improved a lot over time (from the crude Cicada to the beautiful Mad Dog and Hellbringers).

This forum section needs a subsection just for repainted concepts, divided by the author.

i like best what you did with the black jack, especially changing him to make it look like he's utilizing his jump jets. Your design on the marauder is kinda' cool too.

Mmmhhhhhhhhh that Cicada paint job.
Being that the Cicada is my favorite mech' and it so happens that I am a Marik pilot this really makes me happy.
Good job, 10/10 would buy.

i'd love to see custom camos, not just custom decals. Maybe like a "Paint interface", you can maneuver in 3 dimensions, and paint onto your mech (only with the colors you have unlocked) a freakin' awesome camo. Since the existing camos cost MC, maybe each time you create a custom camo it costs MC too, perhaps a little more expensive since it's custom.

Oh man, I would probably spend more time customizing my mech than actually playing the game, haha!

Used to be able to do things similar to that with decals in Chromehounds. You could stretch and rotate shapes and images, use up to something like 12 shapes or images with color selection options per custom decal, place as many as you wanted on a Hound, anywhere you wanted, the game would wrap decals to surfaces, and select from several nice camos with color selection.

I will put it this way, my Hounds had two insignia reflecting their load out name, two custom unit coat of arms insignia, two custom personal insignia, and shark's mouth decals on each side plus camo. Other than the shark's mouth decals each image came in two sizes to match the surface they were placed on. The coat of arms was at least seven separate shapes and images, unit insignia was two, and Hound insignia was three to five. My 360 hated those Hounds so much, but they looked awesome.

Custom camo might get really nuts. Like WWII German speckled camo nuts.

MWO would probably have to put some sort of restrictions on camos, no inappropriate pics, etc. The problem: how could they monitor all users. Probably have to become part of the "report a player" feature.

Naw man back in the day I had a Anime girl with a huge cannon in her hands and in text under it; it said "Go F*uck yourself" nice and big.
Oh the hate mail as I caught people on fire with fire rounds out of my cannons.

ha ha, i myself wouldn't put that on my mech, but really, it's actually a good tactic. It distracts them, they focus on the picture and the text, then PEW! PEW!, you add more more kill to your stats! :P

If PGI made available a long range of decals (I believe Hayden is working with this right now), they wouldn't need to add the upload feature, thus having no problem with improper content.

PS: Hayden, could you add my personal Merc Corps decal?

EDIT: updated decal.
