Ah, not quite. I'm referring to these:

You'll notice them on a number of 'mechs in game.



I think you get it. It's not part of the armor per se, but something placed over the armor, so that the mechanics working on 'mechs don't slip off. Below are a couple examples of how these could be rearranged.

More on the right...


A few on the shoulders, one by the cockpit.

soooooooooooo....skateboard tape?

Similar, tends to be rubberized instead of glorified sandpaper. Not really overly popular in high heat environments, and a 'Mech certainly qualifies as such. On a 'Mech that probably ends up melted. If working in the field without the benefit of heavy gantries and cherry pickers techs probably just use rope and climbing harnesses.

Here is a very quick and dirty recoloring into a "1st Buena Jaegers" Atlas. Lets hope PGI will give us somedays this paint job/pattern for real:

I haven't done a recolor in over a year and I seem to be missing something. Previous recolors I have done did not have this problem as far as I can recall and if they did than I have forgotten the fix. The problem I'm having is while painting if I go over the lines it colors over the background too. I know that (at least most of) the psd files have masking to prevent this so I'm wondering if something on the settings of my program is wrong or if the blank I'm using just lacks those.

I'm using GIMP 2 and trying to paint a Victor.

In the past I've added filters, colors, and even layers containing cammo patterns (real world and ones I designed) without it spilling over the background.

Please, someone?

I removed the background of the "gifting banner" King Crab and added the missing foot (using the speed painting art).

Now I hope some very talented artist will commit to the hard endeavor of cleaning this art, which will allow the making of a later template.



Because this thread deserves King Crab repaints.

[Odanan]

And I swear I will make this repaint:

(one of the most intimidating paintings in a mech ever)

Earlier in this thread (as in closed beta early) there was a green awesome with a mouth painted between it's torso PPCs that looked amazing. However I can't find it anymore :/

Hey, Odanan, + from me for not letting this thread to frozen, but honestly, I hoped for full resolution art of KC from PGI, maybe it's not a good time to hurry with template yet?

PGI, could you please release the King Crab full concept art?

One thing I have always appreciated about many of the artists here, especially Hayden and Ironhawk, is that you don't just repaint and slap on some decals and are done with it. You weather them and any other text you add to the mechs to match perfectly. I always had that problem and see many of the other budding artists on here with the same problem. You guys are just outstanding in your work and attention to detail! It all always blends so flawlessly.

Thanks for all you works....for like the 1 millionth time!

Glad to see this topic still going. I would really like to see some new backgrounds though I have to say. Great stuff though.

Cheers.

Let's clean this up:


And Merry Christmas!

Because we waited too long...

UrbanMech template here.

PS: I tried to reconstruct the top of the head... the real version may be somewhat different.

What, when and where did that Urbi appear? Someone call 911-Bishop!

Those who're signed up for the email newsletter got an email about 12 hours ago with the Santa Urbie that Odanan posted above, along with a redeemable code for 7-days premium time. While its not certain that the Urbie is on it's way, the signs and portents are very favourable.
