I am not a huge fan of assaults in general, but this one looks stunning! He even put the rear-facing MPL in front. This artist does have an eye for details. The paintjob is also great.

I like all entries, but to me, the ones from GiorgioEspinos and user000000000001 really stand out. While I love Alex Iglesias' work, I kind of wish Piranha would open up to other artists as well.

Well I think having Alex do them is good for consistancy plus he's super talented and has been working with them for a long time now so the other artists are only really able to show us what we could have.

Consistency is very important, I'd say. PGI/Alex have developed a certain identity for their art, which turned out to be quite influencial. So it makes sense that they continue. This western warmachine styling also fits BattleTech even though I will always have a soft spot for its anime roots.

Still, I do hope Alex takes a look at the artwork in this thread for inspiration.

One reason to include the Gunslinger that hasn't been brought up yet is out of all the weights for IS assault mechs the 85 ton bracket has the fewest chassis with just two. Also it would be quite different from the two current 85 tonners and even any of the 80 or 90 tonners currently in game.

Fed0t's WIP on the Gunslinger is coming along quite nicely.

The setting really is a great extra touch and the mech looks great!

Hahaha yeah I think anything other than some wild west style warhorn would be wrong and refrencing the Good, The Bad & the Ugly is just awesome.

Giorgios designs are pure eye candy. Really great.

I can imagine it works in MWO, too.

Ovion made a nice list of all the mechs in game by faction & weight.


As you can see, the 85 ton slot is the least represented for IS assaults and realistically speaking the Gunslinger would be the best, most interesting mech that we could reasonably get in this bracket.

If somebody wondering why is it taking me so long to finish Gunslinger art - i'm very lazy person spending more time procrastinating than drawing.
Btw weather where i live is same as on the picture, i'm really tired of shoveling goddamn snow everyday.

Hahaha yeah I know what you mean about snow. It's a lot of work, especially if you don't get to it right away.

Also I'm loving the gauss & lasers firing.
