The artwork must be submitted here or a link posted to the work in this thread.

Submissions need to be in by February 10th. Winners announced on Saturday the February 11th

Winner of 1st Place - JJM1 with his Lobo's!



2nd Place - Base Pack + Reinforcement or Hero (can do both Hero addon and Reinforcement addon if Base package owned - UP to $35 US)

Winner of 2nd Place - Bradigus with this Thanatos!

So. Still no proper computer, no scanner. So I have to just add this as a crappy photo that I uploaded from my phone (yay!)



Probably could tune it more, but truth to tell I have actual commissions to work on, so this is the best I can do for now.

The Chimera was one of my favorite designs from MW4, because of it's asymmetrical and industrial look. The actual payload on the other hand? Eh.......

So anyhow, this is my Davion flavored Mod, replacing the MRMs with a SSRM6, the Machine Gun with a Class 2 Rotary Autocannon, and the a pair of ER Medium Lasers in the left arm.

Hope you like.

Might try Amazon, but deliveries have a way of disappearing down here. I guess I can't complain too much...made it over 4 years... but destroyed about a dozen of them things along the way... and they ain't cheap. )

And because I couldn't help it... Two for One.

I'm not one to save spots for later.

Anyway, here's what i cooked up.

It may or may not have been made in MS paint.

It's the 30 ton Osiris.

EDIT:
Upped the scale and details on this thing.

Okay, so I have to withdraw my Mist Lynxes because technically they are ineligible for this contest. Obviously I had to get that out of my system. Here's my official submission - because have you even heard of these guys? I know we don't have melee combat... YET... but how awesome would it be to run around with a lance of these and just smack opponents around? Answer: Very. It seems they were sort of a Solaris-only mech, not particularly affiliated with Inner Sphere or Clan, but I still love the visceral look of those claws and the idea that they don't battle for territory or honor - they rip up mechs with their bare hands because GLORY.

Thanks, again, for the contest CK - some very lovely work showing up in this thread, ya'll!

I couldnt help it... I should be working...



Pls dont sue me PGI...

Pants

PS. no this isnt what I meant by finishing it

Shiro: Dont let other peoples "skill" get in the way of improving your own! Its easy to compare, and we all do it but it shouldnt stop you from continuing on!

Bishop: I think the spherical nature of the original might be what I didnt like about it... Goes to show we all like different things...

Arisen: Its probably not really fair me entering. I do this for a living... Im happy to bow out if people are unhappy about that. But no, I wouldnt call this done. Id like to continue refining it to make it tighter and more detailed...

I might consider that but CK knows most of my alts...... most of them, mind you...

[jjm1]

Are you Tina's alt account?

I'm in. I needed an incentive to get my art on.

[TheArisen]

Could also include mechs that reentered production within that timeframe.

[Bombast]

I guess I could be convinced to waste more paper for no particular reason.

[RestosIII]

I'll have to sit this one out, since when I pick up a pencil/pen, it looks like a paraplegic, eppileptic, blind octopus tried to make an attempt with its ink. And that's just when I write my own name. But good luck to everyone who submits something!

[Kangarad]

I may not be a contestant. But I shall wish good luck all those that do.

C'mon Restos! Let's make everyone else look like Rembrandt by comparison. Even my stick figures are horrible, but I'm considering participating in this just for shits and giggles.
