Already?! Nice job!

I'm torn to start the template or not. Just holding up some days in hope there will be a larger version of the concept art available.

Thanks, I really hope this will be a great Mech. I'm excited about it.

I'm, pretty sure I was crowing about the Huntsman in Clan Nova Cat teamspeak way back when you were one of us, one of us.... XD Excellent repaint, though!

Is there possibly a Grasshopper template hidden somewhere in this thread?

Yes. Bishop Steiner did. Hope you will post your paint jobs here though...

Yeah, I really miss the CNC group. It was very laid back and great. I tried a couple of other groups but they were too rigid and structured. I hope to see Clan Nova Cat groups sprout up when they add Clan Nova Cat and Clan Diamond Shark to the game. Although I will be torn between the two. I took the online test to see which Clan you belong in and I got Diamond Shark. Nova Cat is very very close second though. I just got my Huntsman ordered. Can't wait to play this guy.

Those are hard to get out.

Try selecting the color layer, inverting selection and pressing "delete" a couple of times.

Nice!

Re:outlines, seems like software versions produce aliasing when publishing the PNG format against a transparent background. This means that you diagonal lines are going to show these nasty pixel staircases. Hate that. If anyone has a workaround, seems there's a couple of us who could benefit. Thx!

Oh and....

Cyclops template including some IH goodies.

So, how long are we going to wait for higher rez Huntsman base images? Actually really surprising they're not out yet!

Well, let's give them 1 more week. If nothing better shows up, I will work with what we got. (it is actually one of the easiest templates, because the green version is practically ready)

Recolors and variant built Griffin. For my unit, the 54th Mechanized Regiment. Had a lot of fun with this one. Wanted to make it more similar to the loadout we use in game, so I had to double the missile kegs (even though they're LRMs) and add laser lenses instead of the PPC.




Really happy with the way this one turned out. I'm getting better with each one of these I do

I had the same issue with the Griffin I just posted. Here's how I fixed it.

Once you're finished with the piece, save as a new psd and merge visible layers, and then give it a inner glow layer effect. colored black and set to "normal" at 1px, adjust noise as you see fit. It'll give you a very very subtle black outline (just enough to get rid of the white glow) and make the mech "pop" a bit more off the page, without going full on drop shadow.

Wow, looks really good! I loved how you "seasoned" the painting.

Just got through making this image of my Phoenix Hawk B "Special" I used Odanan's White Phoenix Hawk and spliced in the right arm and PPC from a screen capture of the Mech from the game.

Not sure if this counts, but I have been playing around with an older sketch by Flyingdebris of the Whitworth. I put it through some photoshop adjustments and tried to clean it up as best I could. Here is what I came up with.

Hey guys,

A number of the HBS fans are brainstorming fun community contributions for Aurigan Coalition fluff. None of it is canon, all of it is just a gang of fans enjoying playing with HBS' canvas, but I thought I would invite the mech artists here to join in the fun, if they wished.

HBS has laid out the backstory for their periphery state, the Aurigan Coalition, here:

https://community.ba...ms/threads/2736
http://harebrained-s...riphery3025.jpg - note the insignia there on a the map. I'll try to scare up a better one.
*edit* https://s3.amazonaws...0ea4c3u1871.png
and https://s3.amazonaws...28b7c5u1871.png

We don't have a lot of background for their military units or paint schemes, so I thought it'd be fun to make some up. You lot are far, far better at mech repaints than I will ever be, so I thought I'd extend the invite - wanna paint some Aurigan 'mechs?

If so, you might cross-post some here:

https://community.ba...ads/2740?page=1

Thanks guys!
