So. Still no proper computer, no scanner. So I have to just add this as a crappy photo that I uploaded from my phone (yay!)



Probably could tune it more, but truth to tell I have actual commissions to work on, so this is the best I can do for now.

The Chimera was one of my favorite designs from MW4, because of it's asymmetrical and industrial look. The actual payload on the other hand? Eh.......

So anyhow, this is my Davion flavored Mod, replacing the MRMs with a SSRM6, the Machine Gun with a Class 2 Rotary Autocannon, and the a pair of ER Medium Lasers in the left arm.

Hope you like.

(as an added "eff you bishop!", the tip to my last micron pen frayed when I started this one, really screwing up my ability to control line quality. And I can't find any local stores that carry them. Might try Amazon, but deliveries have a way of disappearing down here. I guess I can't complain too much...made it over 4 years... but destroyed about a dozen of them things along the way... and they ain't cheap. )

And because I couldn't help it... Two for One.

one of my all time favorite Light Mechs letting Sun Tzu Liao know that his presence in the St Ives Compact is NOT appreciated.

SO, am making the Osiris my entry,

EDIT:
Upped the scale and details on this thing.

Okay, so I have to withdraw my Mist Lynxes because technically they are ineligible for this contest. Obviously I had to get that out of my system. Here's my official submission - because have you even heard of these guys? I know we don't have melee combat... YET... but how awesome would it be to run around with a lance of these and just smack opponents around? Answer: Very. It seems they were sort of a Solaris-only mech, not particularly affiliated with Inner Sphere or Clan, but I still love the visceral look of those claws and the idea that they don't battle for territory or honor - they rip up mechs with their bare hands because GLORY.

Thanks, again, for the contest CK - some very lovely work showing up in this thread, ya'll!

I couldnt help it... I should be working...



Pls dont sue me PGI...

Pants

PS. no this isnt what I meant by finishing it

Shiro: Dont let other peoples "skill" get in the way of improving your own! Its easy to compare, and we all do it but it shouldnt stop you from continuing on!

Bishop: I think the spherical nature of the original might be what I didnt like about it... Goes to show we all like different things...

Arisen: Its probably not really fair me entering. I do this for a living... Im happy to bow out if people are unhappy about that. But no, I wouldnt call this done. Id like to continue refining it to make it tighter and more detailed...

Bradigus, on 08 February 2017 - 06:11 AM, said:

Okay, time to make my final contribution. Non-background version can be found on the first page of this thread.

I'll have to sit this one out, since when I pick up a pencil/pen, it looks like a paraplegic, eppileptic, blind octopus tried to make an attempt with its ink. And that's just when I write my own name. But good luck to everyone who submits something!

C'mon Restos! Let's make everyone else look like Rembrandt by comparison. Even my stick figures are horrible, but I'm considering participating in this just for shits and giggles.
