Description A recently completed commission for Arikado, featuring the final moments in a duel between an Atlas and a Mauler mech from the Battletech/Mechwarrior universe.

Maulers are very fearsome foes, but are designed for long and medium range assaults. Up close and personal, its no match for a 100-ton brute like an Atlas.

Having just fired its heavy lasers for one last desperate shot at the charging Atlas, the Mauler's heat sinks are at their limits. As the Atlas rips open its side, the damaged heat sink there explodes catastrophically, ensuring the death of the 90-ton behemoth.

Digitally colored in photoshop from scanned inks, 2011. I approcched this much more like a painting when coloring it than doing the normal animation-cel coloring every artist seems so fond of these days.

Available for commissions! Just email me at plucas1@hotmail for details. = )

I really enjoyed doing this piece too. Too bad more people don't hire me to do this kind of artwork. But glad you liked it!

I'm no expert on either 'mech, but I certainly wouldn't have wanted to be in the Mauler for this fight.

Interesting, I was under the impression that the Mauler had a bit of a speed advantage over the Atlas. This must have been a rather well-planned ambush.

Paul-Lucas In reply to Colonel-Eviscerator [2011-08-02 20:59:28 +0000 UTC]

I like to think that luck and the skill of the Atlas pilot probably had a lot to do with it as well.
