Oh crap, I totally missed out on you posting the lasted Urbie-sketch! SRY!
The legs look perfect now, but I gotta say I think it looked better with the arms, but maybe that's just me not caring about the original design lol it just feels to me as if the weapons are in the wrong place now...

srsly tho I dunno why I have to be so nitpicky, it's still awesome!

Thanks, I also like it looks better with the arms. The arms adjustment was in response to some comments received to make it closer to the classic version. I do personally think PGI does the right thing to improve some Mechs (such as the Dragon) to better represent 2012 gout du jour... Original BT is a reference but should it be an absolute, unbending set of rules?

I don't think the old designs should be an unbending set of rules, by any means. I think a good example is FD's Catapult. It still looks like a Catapult, it couldn't be anything else, but it's been changed dramatically.

Thanks for the nice words on the Hunchback

I have done this version of the centurion, I hope you like it

I love it! My girlfriend says she thinks it looks awesome, too. Any way you could extend the coloring on the hips to the entire armor plates there?

Agreed. Nice scheme and nice choice of rusty-orange. Darrin works well.

Now that's the Hunchback I would be glad to ride on! My gratitude for completed request, Ironhawk.

lxxxl, I know you didn't ask for this one but I figured it'd be a nice addition to your collection. Latest Dragon design now in Death Commando repaint... Inscription on CT reads 'sacrifice' while the one on AC is 'pain'. Enjoy!



EDIT: Addition of new model below for Draconis Combine's 2nd Sword of Light.


EDIT: A stab at Marshigama's Legionnaires. Division Crest Insignia was custom made and posted here: #218.



EDIT: Another Dragon, again Capellan (I know the Dragon is Kuritan), with the scheme of House Dai Da Chi. Not an easy one to do. I am still not satisfied with the result of 'golden green' paint effect.

First the Panther, now this. Are you guys gunning for FD's job ?

Still, how awesome it would be if some of those user-created content found its way into the game, Valve-style...

[Targun Darklighter]

Eridani Light Horse please or as they where once called 3rd Regt Combat Team SLDF.

Actually, the first design for this one came before that beautiful rendition of the Panther you are referring to. No credit though because we were given a challenge by Garth to do a new Urbie 'a la' FD (so we're not trying to get his paycheck... but if it can help, why not?)

Any way I could get one of you over-achieving artists to make me a color scheme? I'd like it to be on the Centurion if ya can, please (omgthatthingisfreakingawesome).

I want it to be mainly orange, with black and white secondary colors (you know, like a fox). If you look back at page 40-something, there's a great Fire Mandrill Hunchback IIC that looks like what I'm looking for.

As far as any markings, just put the number '713' somewhere (preferably in a non-military looking font, but I'm open for whatever looks better), and a logo of a cute fox anywhere on it, like this:



I'll love you forever.

I'm not done yet, but I wanted to show you what I have so far:



Edit: here's the pretty much finished version. I haven't really found a cute fox image that wouldn't look out of place on a mech, but if you find one let me know. What do you think?

I do not have any "favorism" towards Death Commandoes, but this one is one of the best repaints ever made on this site, great work.

Oooooooo.... Metal feel repaint! Nice job. You make one repainter want to play with metal feel all over again! Have you checked Darrin's version as well?

[Hanyit Greyhame]

While I don't have too much, lore or examples-wise, I would like to request a repaint for the merc corp I am a member of, the Royal Terra Guard.
Paint Scheme (Uziel):

Hanyit "Gopher" Greyhame

[Darrin Thomason]

I have redone the Fox mech as suggested, I hope that this is better


I have had a go at the RTG - I pulled your logo off your website. I thought that the Hunchback was best for the same head scheme as the Uziel miniture.

Since this is art, I would suggest some changes. First thing that caught my attention was the logo on his leg. It is vertical, but it should angled. The second thing is that little piece of orange on the cockpit does not fit there.

Thanks! I love doing that to give it more detail and texture. I saw Darrin's before I posted my rough draft, that one looks good too!

Done. Using of course Hayden's great template work.

Hope it meets adequate standards as this is my first 2 tone camouflage work.

This is amazing.. the best one yet. I love the subtle touches (like the danger logo)..

Now finish the Urbie Love the sketch.

Thank you, mate! Those Dragons are excellent. Effects of smoke, flash and recoil are just f... awesome, you breath life into those static pictures! How did you do that? I can confess, that I'd tried to repaint your Hunchback, hoping to add autocannon flash light effects using GIMP, but with no luck at my side(

[Mautty the Bobcat]

Anyone wanna take a crack at doing the same and other mechs? =D I'd love to see multiple people's takes on the color scheme on each mech. I like how this Catapult was done, but I'm interested in what others come up with as well.

Mautty the Bobcat, on 09 February 2012 - 01:45 AM, said:

I will love you forever and praise you as a god if you wanted to take this emblem and work it into a scheme inclusion, that would be awesome.



Choose your colors, design, etc. Preferably on the Catapult would be awesome, if not then choose a different one. The name currently is The Hunting Pack (best I could come up with relating to a wolf emblem ;>.> If you can think of a better one, let me know...)

Bonus : If you were able to make a 1st and 2nd company scheme that would be even more epic, but obviously you don't have to if you don't want. =D

Darrin Thomason, on 09 February 2012 - 12:17 PM, said:

Hey I had a crack, see if you like it.

I saw you were in a Clan Cayote group so I pulled the blue and black/grey scheme from the Delta galaxy as inspiration. I added the orange from the bottom of the emblem.


I will have a go at another scheme tomorrow if you would like.
