Funny. I am tired (physically) and was working on a new Summoner repaint I am working on and experienced the inner self, odd "why I am I doing this?" question... So I shut down Photoshop and went back to these forums for a minute before calling it a night. And you, Sir, have just made me smile and made my day. Beautiful repaint.

Thanks for the salute!

Yours truly,

Ironhawk

You're templates are great! And for those making them for their unit like me, it's a fantastic recruitment aid, morale booster, they look cool, and it's something to rally behind. I'm glad you and others work so hard on this stuff.

I equate it to painting minis. I Don't know a single person who plays Battletech near me so I never really got into it but I know people who do play it online and they say that painting the minis is half the fun - This is kind of like the cyber version of it.

OMG right I forgot you are in the TMC area, sry just missed that. Don't rush just be fine!

well, tried to clean up and prepare the "Re-proportioned" Summoner for easier use, by lengthening the gorilla legs, shrinking the bubbledome, and the PPC, all things I think agreed upon by the many mods we have done to it. Also removed unit emblems to try to make repaints easier.

Bishop I love your Photobucket Nickname

That's it!
Alex Iglesias - look this!

But I don't expect this one repainted by the master, Iron Hawk. He is a purist. He doesn't like to repaint edited concept arts.

Nice! Wish it had the chicken legs of the original art though! I think I need to do a redesign incorporating both styles!

Is the Jenner IIC chicken legged? Even these images are somewhat ambiguous:
Concept art
Miniature.

[SgtMagor]

the updated Summoner art looks much better BS. I remember this from MW4 (The huge summoner, standing at least a meter taller than most other 'Mechs). iirc the Summoner is supposed to be a huge mech. I hope PGI will design it that way.

Wasn't chicken legged in Mech2 (part of why I dislike the design....really awkward looking IMO)
While the Mini could be chicken legged, the knee pad (more visible in the art) makes me think otherwise

if it isn't a chicken walker it's gonna need some serious acl/mcl surgery. Highlighted the angle of the leg in red.

[CyclonerM]

Oh well the MW2 Jenner is quite ambiguous too..

In all fairness, the original Stalker image had each leg bending different

The image may be ambiguous, but the animations were very clear - creepy human-leg-bending.
(one of two animations I really remember from that game - the other being the Stormcrows crappy head-bounce - every Stormcrow pilot should have been tossing his/her lunch after 30 seconds of that!)

[Pariah Devalis]

I figure the connection point we see between the upper leg and the lower is just an oversized knee pad, and the leg itself is hyperflexed to the front, bending backwards. Really peculiar design direction, though.

Wait a minute, it does bend a little inward, but the legs are stretched to the limit.

Sorry, but your drawing is not accurate. Following this lines:

In doubt, I will trust in Mechwarrior 2.

(the miniature is strange, as it wouldn't walk well as chicken or human leg neither)
