So, Ironhawk...any chance at a template for your custom Timber Wolf? <.<

It's not his own Timber Wolf. It's Alex's Savage Wolf from the Era Report: 3145 cover. Altough he's made a few changes.

Just pointing it out to make sure you know. Feel free to ignore this post if you do.

Been awhile. Working like crazy. Was wondering if I'd do it or not... Alex, I apologize in advance for this:

Clan Smoke Jaguar Timber Wolf


EDIT: Adding a Clan Wolf repaint (Beta Galaxy circa 3052 and later)

So Streak 6s with PPCs？Looks phenominal! GG = P

That is correct. When you look at the original picture, you'll see that I have put a lot of effort in a restoration process rather than an actual mod process, except maybe for the size of the PPC nozzle, which I wanted closer to the game feel. Otherwize, I didn't want to make heavy mods to Alex's art with my own; I have way to much respect for his art for that. (That is why I apologized in advance in hopes I didn't offend him.)

Thanks. Alex Iglesias's art as the design base as explained above. I have only created the repaint job.

It's fantastic work, and I'm gonna second the request for a Template version! I've been trying to do a recolour version of that art ofr ages but my own skills are sucktacular

Have to appreciate work in the only way I know how, use it myself to make others happy

Used this next one to add a few touch ups and get closer to final template. Hope you enjoy this Cloud Cobra Gamma Galaxy:

He didn't JUST made some few changes, he rebuilt the whole mech. Amazing work, IH!
I would certainly want a template for it.

[Odanan]

BTW, I hope the MWO's Timber Wolf is something like that... it would righteously make the IS mechs look like junk.

[Jack Gallows]

Ironhawk, might I inquire how you pull off the gold highlights? I'm still fumbling around with some of the more advanced techniques.

[AceTimberwolf]

Yea I hope the t-wolf looks something like that

[Sears]

That Timberwolf looks awesome Ironhawk. The gold highlights must have taken a while.

This is my first go playing around. Tried to keep the colour scheme to something that is doable in mechlab, if we were able to paint the base colour of Founder's mechs. Which I hope we will be able to in the future.

And on that note Good Sir, this epic thread hits Page 200! Thanks to Hayden who started it all and all of you fellow contributors, admirers and critiques...

[Odanan]

Now I will make a threat (pointing IH's Timber Wolf art to the PGI head).

PGI, you better show us the #20 mech concept art or Iron Hawk will continue to deliver awesome Clan mechs that will ruin the impact of your "surprise" and make Alex Iglesias go cry to mommy.

PS: you know he wouldn't do this Timber Wolf if he had new concept arts to repaint, right?

Or, it'll just make Alex produce a Clan 'mech that'll make everyone go...and I quote...

As pointed out earlier, and as per the bottom credit, that IS Alex's design. Just not official PGI. I respect Alex's art and thought we could display it here until the official Mechs are issued... My mere contribution was to perform repairs and touch ups in order to make it suitable for skin jobs...

You know what must be done!
