Well its been a long time since I've posted, maybe a year. While I dont have software to paint or edit images, and no clue how. I've recently been doing alot of art, and the idea sprang on me as I was scrolling down the old forum list that seems to never change, that has endless salt, comments, and Dollar Store Ideas, or Value Pack Answers.

I'm sure there are some very talented Mech Pilots here that probably could design their own paint pattern. Which is why I am creating this topic.

I'm curious to see if anyone submits camo, or new paint patterns that the Dev's could use for a new release package. I'm sure 1 or 2 will but I'm hoping for more.

I just got this new PC, a Omen (blah blah blah) 1 of HP's fastest and best custom Gaming PC's so I was bored, waiting for MWO to download lol.

Sure are a lot of art contests going.

So, gentlemen's contest or is there a reward?

That reminds me, anyone got a link to the one thread in "features and suggestions" where people submitted their ideas for the second wave Clan camos and the like? Meant to save the images people posted for future reference, but I can't find it now.

Its a 100 tonner with 4 AC20 and 2 ER LLs batteries:

Hmm I could update one my own mech universe designs for this since I have over pages of mechs to update anyway.

The hardest thing about patterns is that a single pattern must be applied to ALL Mechs. Since every Mech has unique geometry with most interchangeable due to loadout, each camo pattern must be applied individually to all current and upcoming Mechs in the game (which tbh is pretty tedious). Although having a separate chassis only exclusive would bring out more designs and more freedom for creativity.

I'm bored, so here, torture you're eyes on a terrible concept.

Idea: Everyone decided to get patriotic on Solaris 7. Really patriotic. Instead of a tiny House insignia, the entire mech gets a body sized mark. Only did Davion though, because I'm terrible.

EDIT: I don't have the skills to do a more 3 dimensional version of this that would show off how the color channels work. Basically, the block parts (Sword, maybe the outline of the star burst) would be static and unchangeable. First channel would be the gold star burst, and then the other two channels would be different shades of red all over the mechs body like the usual camos. Left standard, the colors would be similar, only different enough to add some depth to the paint job. Or the person could change them to be an eye sore. The other houses versions of the paint job would be similar - the Kurita Dragon would be one color channel, and the rest of the mech would be two different red tons, Steiner fist would be one and then two flavors of blue, and so on.

Got mines done, took me a good while to make it close as the original.

Also had this on loop while finishing up a few loose ends before inking it.
