Here is a revised version of my repainted Timber Wolf, hopefully I did a little better.

Looks better, less saturated in color... the only thing I would recommend is playing with your logos using the different "transform" options, free transform, skew, etc to get the right looking angle for the logos on the Mech. Ultimately you want to use some sort of hardline on the artwork as a reference to the angle so that the logo needs to be applied to look like it fits the contour of the armor. (edit: typo)

Sorry, i am not very expert, i do not know what to improve it, i think i just do not like the colors, but still it is a good repaint

Well, let me tell you something, I'm not going for pretty colors. I'm doing this for practice and skill.

Then you got very close to your goal

Very nice work, but Bavarian colors on a Hanseatic mech are like a cactus on a canadian flag. The guys at Camo Specs seem to have no knowlege about the historical Hansa.

Yea indeed nice one but the Bavarian blue should be a bit much brighter, like skyblue. And another question here: Why the (former) city Danzig on Bavarian paint sheme?! But you are right, it was a former Hanseatic city!

[Grendel408]

I need to find time to do some repaints... been too involved in working on my unit's award system. I'm too much of a perfectionist LOL! Loving the work everyone has been putting forth btw!

When I made this one I didn't have any kind of deployment tables as to which Regional Defense Forces were deployed to which planets in the League. Since the notion of a Bavarian paint scheme on a "Hanseatic" 'mech is ridiculous (we all know Red/White would be better) I figured I'd take the preposterous nature of it all a step further and make it a Hanseatic-Bavarian-'Mech-From-Danzig (which is a Hanseatic planet). So I slapped "Danzig" on it, threw a simplified Gdansk/Danzig arms on it, and called it a night.

As for the coloration I took some artistic licence. Since there's no official shade of "Bavarian Blue" I used the darker shade depicted on Camo specs because that's a hair closer to a canonical source.

Remember: this is all going to happen a millennium from now, some of the facts are sure to get muddled

Any tips for painting Highlanders better?

Glorious day! The Media section finally has been updated with full resolution concept arts of: Wolverine WVR-6R, Thunderbolt TDR-5S, Shadow Hawk SHD-2H, Firestarter FS9-H, Battlemaster BLR-1G and Banshee BNC-3S.
Alex, Mark, thank you very much! (But where is Griffin???)

P.S. Alex, could you be so kind to upload (somewhere) your Mech art without standard background? Please, that could save a lot of efforts for our community [re]painters and result in many new repaints to bring joy to us all.

Edit1:
All for easter eggs hunt!
Edit2:
I think 'Gulo Gulo' should have been scratched rather than painted over
I knew Alex could count fingers on his hand, Banshee art has five! 3D modeler was either a hidden genius or a mutant . I have no interest in arabic, someone else can translate the inscription.
ニ回打っ - double strike or double punch?
Shouldn't the temperature limit of evil toaster be over 9000?! Up to is just not enough!
Edit3:
信息是彈藥 - oh my goddess, I've almost gone crazy while trying to find last symbol. But I still not sure what Alex wanted to say: plain auto translation of 'Information is Ammunition'? Something like praemonitus praemunitus? Or Guided Weapon? Those Chinese Bandits, one never knows what they keep hidden, quiaff?

Best news for this thread in a long time!

[Sparks Murphey]

I note that the Thunderbolt is an A-10

The only missing concept art is the Griffin.

Of course, the one I really want, my Griffin is MIA.....

But must say, very nice to see the rest!

What do you mean by spooky?

Did you do these? Did Spooky do these?

If Spooky did these, you should do a little more than just chuck his name under it

[BlackPhoenix01]

My apologies?

Yes SpOoky did those renderings for us.

[BlackPhoenix01]

Anyone have any templates out yet for the recently released concept art?

Not yet. I'm looking forward for those.
