I was expecting you to say something like that

[CDS Russian]

Awesome work my friend. Thank you indeed for the labor of love and for sharing with the community.

[Karyudo ds]

I just want to stuff these into a video game of their own right now...

Mostly because I was just figuring out how Great pixel mechs!

[Alaskan Nobody]

Been drooling over these, and thought you might want to know (or maybe not.....)

[Menson]

Well done! Love it!

[Valcrow]

These are amazing! Totally captures their essence in an artfully essentialized way... kudos to you!

they look fantastic
is there also a cat k2 availble in those colors?
this so much remembers me of my childhood xD

There is! I will edit this post shortly, since I already drew the K2-arms a while back. I won't be doing variants for all these mechs, of course. But the K2 is basically a completely different mech, in my eyes.

Well, as a non celebrant of any sort, I still think that's a cool thing to dole out bro! Great job!

Cheers! I imagine that in year 3050, everyone has forgotten the original purpose of christmas and are celebrating it as a purely secular, non-commercial holiday for showing affection to friends and family and being charitable to the less fortunate...

Or maybe christmas just means that they put artificial snow on Solaris, playing ancient christmas carols while mechs smash each other, I don't know.

Thanks.

Damn where is my Mech Commander!?!?!

[Alistair Winter]

Hmm, on closer inspection, I see that the size of some mechs is slightly off, so I may have to edit these images later, when I'm adding the Kintaro, Thunderbolt, Battlemaster, Griffin and Wolverine. My OCD does not tolerate these kinds of failures.

How long does it take for computer games to become public domain? I hope I live long enough to see the Mechwarrior games become public domain, so we can remake the Mech Commander games with pixel art

The sizes are fine (more reasonable than the PGI's ones, anyway).

Well, we can always think about creating a new game, right?

Or you know having a game that is a spiritual successor to the MW games.
I've a game concept in my head for a few years now.

And there is my sig :



I have change the colors : a Locust with Phoenix pattern, a Jenner with the Vth Drakons colors (cyan, and red details), a Yen-Lo (look great), a Dragon with Raider pattern, a Cataphract with Phranken pattern (it's more look like a Pharaon with the blue base color...) and a Victor with arctic Camo!

Thanks for the images and for your design work, Alistair! You're going to make the Kintaro and Shadow Hawk too?

I'm from Norway. So no, I mean Jul (Yule), the time of year when my people sacrificed humans & animals to please the Gods.

Not sure why we ever stopped, to be honest.

ah latter day(well, as in post Babylon) Germanic Nimrod worship! Got it! Tis so entertaining to me to see the blind adherence so many people put toward things they don't even remotely understand, ja?

Thank you very much Alistair! Merry Christmas!
