Quick and Dirty Kell Hounds


Will add unit numbers and company patches later, maybe

Also, IDK how IronHawk and Odanan do it on complex pieces like this one, where you got sooo much understructure, but I made a template of the plating that I color manipulate, than add as a layer. For a rookie with no GIMP or PS knowledge,seems to simplify and expedite the process.


Cheers!

That's exactly what I do.

It's a Renaissance of this thread! Thanks for the HD concept arts, PGI.

The Arkhab Legion colors make it look a lot less gawky and awkward than the red SoL that Alex painted the concept in. Might be more into the PNT's looks than I thought. Cool.

As I'm looking at this, I'm gonna want to correct my templates a bit those edges... =_=

[SgtMagor]

a repaint of the Atlas-S but I don't think PGI released a concept image of it yet?
would like to see the death head recolored in white, for one thing.

seems like they are all a little rough. I am guessing the art is not as hi res, as I noticed more jaggedness on the Enforcer and such than normal too, and could not really clean it up further.

Awesome work, And as someone who's used the 3rd Proserpina Hussars as my TT unit for years I love the take on the 1st Hussar Panther there. Any chance of seeing a repaint for the 3rd?

I've got a notion here...

Actually, after the initial template was made I dropped the image down to a quarter of its original size. I could make these even larger... but I've got a notion on how to deal with this.

I'm going to take a crack at a template for the Kintaro tonight (unless there is one I don't know of). It has become my favorite 'Mech.

[Odanan]

Requested repaint. OK, no more Clan Wolf, please.


BTW, I updated the Summoner template. The new one is much better, as you can see.

OK, for the record? White really is a pain to create and shadow and balance.

I like the stark white. Fresh from the factory.

Did some re-work, made a couple stylistic changes. Gonna do one or two more tonight, hopefully ;D

I really like it, but the diagonal white stripe on the left breast just feels...off for some reason.

Maybe because attention position for the shoulder is vertical and with it slightly canted back there is gives a visual effect of a bend in the line? Or the way it crosses some panels?

Yeah... that white is not good. Sometimes I have a lot of difficulty to get the white color too. Usually I end up working with a light grey.
