Artist's Comments

Commission for :iconcenturion13:.

These are for the Classic Battletech 3063 Technical Readout book that's currently being worked on. All of these are either redesigns of old existing 'mechs or customized versions of existing ones. The 'mech specs have been designed by other people, i only came up with the images based on existing designs from the old books.

I definately like your versions over the original art. These make me want to 3D model these mechs, I may just do that using your pics for reference...

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

These are some damned awesome renditions, amigo! The Champion is absolutely loaded with personality.

Durendal too. Absolutely amazing work.

It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion,
It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed,
The hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning,
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

Oh, you revamped the Champion and Vulcan? They look alot better than the official designs (always thought the Champion was a scrapped aerospace idea that the designers stuck a pair of awkward legs on for fun).

I'm confused as to why they have fully articulated hands. most battletech stuff has a severe lack of that sort of thing, since arms with hands are used mostly as battering rams than anything.

It is for to waste the time.

The Champion's Gauss Rifle is in the wrong arm. Not to worry; I just switched the locations on the readout and changed the writeup in the appropriate places.

However, there are no more locations to dedicate to the lower arms and hands. Champions don't have them, and never did. Which is one reason they look a bit silly in the original art....

I will have to change the design to include hands and lower arms. There! It is short a ton and a half of armor, but is good to go.

Also, the Isometrus is named after a type of scorpion.

They all look very good, especially the Vulcan. Thank you!

Nah, the newer versions have full articulation. You have to keep in mind that what you see will not be required to fully comply with the laws of physics, so it's cool.

The Vulcan VL-7M is unique among Vulcan variants in that it does, in fact, have hand actuators. It was designed that way due to its mission profile. Which is beating up on infantry and battle armor and even the occasional light 'Mech...

The Durendal is based on the Banshee chassis, a very old design which features fully-articulated hands even in the earliest art (by Duane Loose).

The Isometrus is a new design.

The Champion, as noted above, is the latest variant and has been outfitted with hands because it seemed like a good idea to the fellows at Comstar.
