Hello all!

I've got a request for some artwork if some of you are feeling bored and need something to do!

One of my favorite 'Mechs is the CRK-5003-0 Crockett. I guess I just have a thing for Assault 'Mechs with Jump Jets

Anybody feel up to attempting a MWO style re-design of this amazing 'Mech?



Following is the weapons I'd love to see on this bad boy:

-4 Streak SRM2s (2 LT, 2 RT)
-2 ER Large Lasers (1 Each Arm)
-2 Medium Lasers (1 Each Arm)
-LB 10-X (LT)
-Jump Jets (CT/LL/RL)

OK I'll bite.

I'm a fantasy artist from back in the day. Working on my own stuff lately, but dawning giant robots for fun is a good excuse too.

I'll work on this today and get back to you... here's a concept sketch from 3.5 Gammaworld to show you what I do.

I hope this works... I don't post images much.

There we go!

I tried to make this version with a false cockpit, with the top-side heat sink vents mimicking the actual cockpit just below it.

I also tried to make the hip actuators have a lot of give to absorb the shock of an assault mech jump landing.

I hope this pleases. Cheers eh!

Looks great man!

Thanks for taking the time to put this together!!

[Antasius]

My pleasure! It's good sketch again.

Well don't let me stop you if you keep playing with the Crockett. It's not one of the highly popular designs haha

It would be kinda funny if someone could make an animation of a dancing mech for fun.

Nothing too fancy, just sillyness.

I wouldn't mind making mech and rigging it,problem is that making a high detail mech can take up to a week to model (2 weeks if you count UV mapping and such)

i will give this a spin when I can. I too, think the Crockett is pretty cool, and have played around with modifying the art before, because it has
some elements I really like, but in general is kinda MEH looking. Will get back to you soon, I hope.

I noticed you'd posted a lot of new items, but I'm still hoping you get a chance at this

Tis not forgotten, just kinda knock stuff out as the inspiration hits. I have 7-8 really unfinished designs, including the old Crockett/Katana, those 4 I posted recently all just sorta "clicked".

Plus, I am making some major liberties in a few spots on the mech, which might slow me down. GAH! Not too mention I got a short list of Mechs, Weapons, and Fixtures that the MechCommander: Omnitech guys need knocked out. (If you haven't checked it out, it's pretty darn worth it. http://www.hard-ligh...p?topic=77064.0 Mechcommander 2, with new campaigns, maps, mechs, etc.... and it actually runs on something newer than Millennium without any hiccups yet (though it takes a little bit to actually fire up).

Add in to that the whole "gotta go to paying job AND find stuff to blow crap up on MechWarrior Online............" and please be patient with me......

Of course!

Just a quick sketch of the Crockett (poor cell-phone photo only for now, sorry):

[Bishop Steiner]

Nice Czechu, and not dissimilar to what I was toying with, though a lot further along than I am.

[Czechu_NS]

Thanks Bishop!

Problem is that I am often too lazy to finish my sketches, lol.

Looking good. I'm liking the chunkier look of it. Feels more assulty but still has the feel of the original Crockett with the head and shoulders. Me likes!

[Bishop Steiner]

OK< so I kinda went nuts, and maybe just a skosh TOO far with re-imagining it, but here ya go....

[Czechu_NS]

Just another quick rough sketch, done in work. I will try to improve it more...

[Magik0012]

I approve of all of these "Lets draw mechs!" threads!!

Hmm, I wanna combine your designs hips with mine.....


And I really dig how you changed the arced vents to more straight forward ones. I might hasta steal that from ya.... =P
