Not so much a concept art repaint but more of a in-game repaint (of the Jester)

Code Name : Cheshire

This looks scary, well done!

Wow, redemption for the Jester.

But the call sign should be Cheshire CAT.

So, this is kind of a repaint...

It is based on the reseen Marauder.
EDIT: new version, with modifications proposed by Bishop.

Thanks!
It's good to see some love for the Reseen (probably one of the reasons the Macross mechs aren't in MWO is because people do not let go the past and accept the Reseen).

I actually like the reseen Marauder. The art in the TRO is not perfect, and many of the reseens do suck. But the Davion version with paddle arms I always liked, just felt the legs needed beefing up.

I always like the Thud, just felt it needed to be shorter and broader.

that was the general idea Cheshire Catapult

Oh and I have a special weapon load out for it, if you want it. Favorite mech to pilot atm.

Oh, very nice. Definitely the most ominous looking Jester I've seen yet. The original colorscheme isn't so much scary as "AAAH! I AM BLIND!" . Almost makes me wanna buy a Jester, and I'm not much of a Catapult fan.

I have a question @JackGallows



This is your signature.



That is a Gladiator Bomber from another Game.
Do you recognize the signs at the wings? What do these mean, do they have a relation to each other?

[Sparks Murphey]

Both are referencing the insignia of VF-84 and VF-103, two US navy carrier squadrons nicknamed the Jolly Rogers. The stripes are known as vagabond stripes.

[Bishop Steiner]

guess it's sorta a repaint

decided to re-do a older design.

Gallowglass' sig and merc unit is inspired by a real life U.S. Navy fighter squadron. The Jolly Rodgers VFA-103.

As someone else put, the lore for the 1st Blackburn's Raiders, and inspiration for, were the VFA-103 Jolly Rogers Naval Strike Fighter Squadron. Made sense to me that something like that might end up standing the test of time through the ages and end up as a 'mech unit.

Generally the yellow/black/white striping is called a Vagabond strip and it's used in the Jolly Rogers high visibility paint scheme.



Long time ago I asked Hayden to repaint some 'mechs with this to help me create a visual paint job for the unit I was creating. Back then only 4 'mechs had been announced, and during the repainting I think the 5th surfaced. He did them all...and just kept going like the amazing guy he is.

A quick variation on a previous re-colouring. It's a take on the SLDF standard colours of Olive Drab, I've including black highlighting at a minimum effort with a copper machinery colouring that off-set's the green nicely.

[Adridos]

It may be relatively simple vartiation, but it looks great.

Although you could've changed the cockpit-holding framework's color to a different one to not blend in with the rest of the cockpit, in my opinion.

The shade of green is simply marvelous, BTW.

Olive Drab - that should be the color of Kerensky's Orion. I don't get the Protector's painting...
