I want to like it, but it doesn't really catch enough reflectiveness to call it chrome.

Suburban Camo?
In an ill conceived attempt to improve the armor rating some pilots began mortaring bricks to the locust.

This took forever, I should have learned my lesson when I made my wooden Flea way back on page 177.

Not so flashy as the rest of the stuff around here, but hey, it's an actual working camouflage!

I'm scared when I imagine how much work that must have been for you.
Did you really did that all by hand?

Yes, sometimes brick by brick but normally panel by panel. After about 10 hours working on it I still see 4 things I want to change. As is art.

I like it... but it's clearly missing more graffiti LOL!

You guys should host a community contest where people create either new patterns or redesign mechs and then put the best into the game (after getting spruced up by PGi's staff of course)

Then he would let you of your box more often.

Good idea. The guys on this thread have created quality skins that could be used in game. Hell, why not take the best 20 and put it to a community vote. Top three get put in game.

I'm looking into it now. [ED: It = getting the Phoenix concept art into the media section]

Update! I asked around, and it seems that the people I would need to talk to are not in right now. So I'll have to try again later.

Ok, later has finally happened! It wasn't easy but after an exhaustive (apparently two-week-long) search I found an answer!

In short, these concept pieces will be forthcoming. Updating the media section is unfortunately a low priority at this point, so it'll happen "when it happens" (woe!)

Hang in there!

I'll see what I can do but am not home so this may take a few days. Worst case I can try a 10th Lyran repaint on the Shadowhawk existing art without mods.

yeah, I got a rough sketch for it, but have not had time to get to it, and have fallen far behind on requested workload on other things. I hate it when I can do mechs, but the fantasy art I have been asked for is hitting total artists block!! GAH!
