Here's the Highlander and Jenner, next to their IIC counterparts for comparison Was fun converting the IIC back to an IS design ... opposite of how it was supposed to go but whatever HBK and ON1 still need a lot of work.

Big 800% scaled versions below:

Making progress on the Orion (finally got the wonky asymmetrical torso figured out) and Hunchy will be next. Hoping it goes smoothly so I can do another original/IIC comparison for those two and get the main grid updated.

Now if only the EXE would cooperate like the Orion eventually did

[Luscious Dan]

So the Hunchy and Orion have been converted back to IS tech levels, see below.





And the x8 versions:





The front page is updated as well with the most up to date versions of the spreads. There's even a very WIP IS surprise mech...

[Odanan]

Excellent!

Those mechs are lovely!

[Mechteric]

Oh man so many new mechs to slice up and add to PixelMek

[Luscious Dan]

Lol Alistair did a bunch more over Christmas as well, I'm that sure between the two of us you'll be busy for a while.

Nova Cat, Blood Asp

Sunder, Hauptmann, Uziel,

I'm pumped that after Russ announced the next time jump, we might actually see some of these designs from Alex in the next year. There will be the 3060s IS tech, and that could mean anything from omnis to light fusion and whatnot. Plus a potential pile of new weapons.

Not next year, this year!
The first ones will be released in mid summer.

I meant some unknown time in the next 12 months, not necessarily in 2018 Slight misunderstanding, nothing major. So long as Alex makes the pretty pictures it's all good!

Instead of finishing some mechs I have in progress, I've been working on a few new IS lights. Locust, Flea and even a Javelin are silhouetted in and going through the initial detail pass. Javelin leapfrogged ahead after the announcement, and details are pretty far along. Needs the pass focusing on depth, and then some cleanup. Always trickier to imagine a mech when there's just the one reference angle!

[Luscious Dan]

The Flea and Locust are done. Just noticed one of my filenames called it the "Flex" If they ever do come out with the Flea I may have to give it ironic bodybuilder names!



And the now-customary 8x version:

They are so... cute!

Lol I know right?

Sweet! I may have to squeeze these into Pixelmek sooner since currently the firemoth is much faster than anything the IS has. These little guys should fit the bill

[Luscious Dan]

+2 to hit due to cuteness.

Putting finishing touches on the Awesome, hoping to also get the Victor done later today so I can post an update to the main spread that will include the Flea, Locust, and these 80-tonners. There's a Javelin "done" as well, but I'm not sure how I feel about it. Always hard when you just have the one image to go off of, but it's a lanky beast with some odd geometry to shrink down.

Not sure what I'll work on next, part of me wants to finish up the entire Assault weight class but I may also just bounce around and cherry-pick favorites

[Luscious Dan]

I don't know if you've been good or not (I don't creep on you like Santa does at night) but here's the x8 version of the Awesome. Didn't get the Victor finished yet, still hoping for that one soon so I can post the new spread sooner rather than later.

[Luscious Dan]

Happy V-day, everyone! (V is for Victor 9K)





Main post updated as well.

And with the Supernova countdown coming this week, I'm starting work on that last gap in the Clan lineup (I know the EXE isn't done, but it'll get there lol). It'll be nice to make that grid full again, it was such a brief moment of satisfaction before they announced the Supernova and ruined it for me
