No one cared who I was until I put on the mask.

No one's better than the Trashman.

Really digging the pictures and ideas gentleman! I imagine the battlemaster iic to be an oversized loki(hellbringer) with so many open weapon pod locations that's it super flexible and has ultra optimized torso aim convergence.

It also out sustains every other mech with the super quick that gives it -25 % heat gen for every weapon.
Also has 15 percent range boost for all energy weapons and 10 percent increased heat dissipation.

Well, Clan Diamond Shark is probably the least... Clanny out of all the Clans.

Of course. They are considered the "merchant" clan. Here's a picture of a clan diamond shark true born.



But seriously, good for them capitalizing off of the clan's general stupidity.

Damn you I have been waiting for the right time to refer to them as the Ferengi Clan.

Clan Diamond Shark is the Billy Mayes Clan, and their stuff is about a sixtieth as good as the stuff he sold.

[Snazzy Dragon]

At this point I'm less excited about the prospect of mechs and more inclined to want some more sustainable stuff. Colorblind support, replay system, better spectator tools, return to the better minimap (honestly, the fact that they shoved that new minimap crap out with 0 player testing is disgusting), new tech and weapons, improvements to game performance, and of course, delivering what was promised for FW... I'm sick of farmville.

Just what we need. More overweight Clan 2.0 Battlemechs.

Let's get some originality up in here. And failing that, can we at least have the non-tonnage bloated Fiesta duplicate mechs?

Hey, Sombreros are cool!

Except we sell things Billy Mays promoted himself. For instance, do you know the Inner Sphere name for HarJel?

Yeah no. You're a few thousand years too late to be claiming that. At any rate, most of CDS's mechs that aren't just an outright pile of inefficient, steaming garbage (I'm looking at you FailCat MK2) are so overspecialised they are outright worthless if their specific situation doesn't come up.

I'm not very good at it to be honest, but I can give it a shot. Did you have any ideas or something?

Well, I'd be fine wit ha generic one. Of course inserting some creepy dolls would be nice, but editing them in would be hard, especially if it's a gif.
Maybe this still can be cropped, edited for transparency, shrunken down and placed on the right side. It'd be a lot of work, though.
Or this on the left side, same as above, text edited out. Higher quality.

Just for fun's sake, I decided to see how terrible I am at editing and tried to clean up that second image to not have the text just as practice. I have a feeling my eyesight has failed me though, because I can't tell if the hair looks **** or not. So I might as well ask you how visible it is.

Spoiler

I can see the line myself, but I have no idea if that's because I did it, or, well, it's way more obvious than my crap eyes can tell. I actually do think that it's theoretically possible to turn the second image into a sig though, just don't know how you'd do that.

I'll look into it tomorrow. It's late and my allergies were bad today so I had to take a few extra Diphenhydramine pills. My eyes are swimming a bit too much - Been trying to harvest the right frames for a gif from this video for 30 minutes but I'm having a hard time focusing.

Spoiler

Should have better luck fresh.

Just to be clear though, you'd like a signature with Mad Cat MK II 2017, and dolls from... Rozen Maiden? Will try.

That's pretty good, actually. I can see it a bit where the hair bends, but only because I know where to look, and it;s more then satisfactory for a signature, since one has to shrink the hell out of it anyway. What's how you do edits - Get the biggest resolution you can, do the best you can, then shrink it a smidge.

[Kasumi Sumika]

Warhammer is my favorite mech ever in Battletech. I want Whammy IIC so I can go full Clan. I always pick Whammy IIC in Mechwarrior 2 & Ghost Bear's Legacy. Too bad they removed in Mercenaries because Harmony Gold still salty.

I agree, shrinkage will fix it.

No that came out wrong don

Or came out right.

Anyway... first draft. Ideas, criticism, concerns and change requests, please. All the individual assets are saved separate, so it's no big deal to change anything.

I know the text is a bit rough, but I wasn't sure what to go with and as far as a first attempt at textured text, Gothic (Rozen uses gothic text I think?) is annoying.

Such (false) sensitivity.

By the way, you should probably save that sig to your own account if you haven't already. I ahve no plans to delete it, but you never know.

Made two versions, in case you didn't see.

Okay, first things first I think you and a certain cover editor might have the same fonts.


Second, loving the font, but I am not enamored by the texturing. A flat, light color might pop better against the dark forum shades. Maybe zoom Kira out a little. A smidge.

Thanks <3

But, the Clans already have a Warhammer. It's called the Hellbringer.
