Just stumbled on this old gem and its perfect to show a friend what kind of machines I'm talking about in Battletech

Looks like a Cougar with bug/biomechanical feel to it

Great design work on this; the way it stands and its general chunkiness give it a real impression of weight and solidity, but the colouring and an array of cunning little touches give it a somewhat organic feel, like a big mechanoid insect. The armour has a chitinous quality to it, and the antennae look like something a beetle might have. Tremendous stuff!

Very well done, it has the feel of the late 80s and early 90s mechs that FASA had drawn. I remember finding your work first on YERF many years ago, your talent has only increased, mi'lady.

Excellent. I love the swath of red in the background. Great texture work.

Why do those both sound like name brands for vibrators?
That does it! I need to gets me some more technical readouts.

I think the question is, why do those both sound like brand names of vibrators to you?

Because I am a human being with genitals and a libido.

Yeah its a well deisgned machine, very interesting how it has a real organic feel. The colour choice is great gives it areel chracter, the contrast with the pinks gives its a real virbrance. Only on ething i dont like is the cockpit it works agianst the smooth and well fromed weapons and feet, maybe a more animal hsaped cockpit or one that is squarer

Fantastic concept! Those additions really give this mech a lot of presence.

...I thought the style looked familiar.
This is awesome, though! I wouldn't mind seeing you try the more official battletech mechs. I'm sure you'd do a crazygood job with them.

i love the windowdesign, the only thing that i "don't" like is, that it isn't looking like metall. more like something biological. the lines are not straight enough for metall. maybe more weld seams, screws, tubes, radial piston pumps... some technical things, but not too much.. mechs are so difficult to paint.

I think I've babbled enough about how much I like this.

Cool..I love the different shades of green kind of gives it an organic feel.

Ohh pretty!
It's coming along nicly.
I really like the colors used... Good camo.
The background "slash" is a great contrast

Looks a lot like the Battletech mechs like you say, but more like a combination of them. But no matter what, it looks very good. I like the camo stylings and such. Well done.

Wow, looks kinda' like a grasshopper. It's very realistic looking. Great!!!

Whoo! It looks like some of the official art off the old Battletech trading cards! Then again, you've DONE card design, so that's not too surprising. 
This is awesome, none-the-less! The inspiration is unmistakable, yet the design itself is distinctly unique! The design of the canopy windows is particularly interesting. Critically, though, I think it should be just a tad little bit shinier.

Looks great! The placement of the complimentary color behind it is awsome too.
