Description
Hey long time no art post! I've got a few pieces I can and will put up, I've just been out of the habit for a while. Here's the first commission finished since I've resumed taking them on, so more to come, and I'll start trickling in the backlog of art I have to show going forward.Here's a new piece of Battletech fan commissioned art. Never thought I'd have someone have me paint a Shrike, so it was nice to put a little twist on it.
Description by Callidrad Β
A Mad Cat Mk IV and a Shrike from the Halcyon Sentinels, a mercenary group attached to the 1st Davion Guards, engage CCAF forces as they escort Julian Davion through Capellan space. The Mad Cat Mk IV is an Alpha variant and the Shrike is a Shrike III. The Halcyon Sentinels specialize in several fields: mobile mech and battle armor cavalry, ammunition and parts logistics, and indirect artillery support.

Love how pristine some parts of those 'mechs look, while the rest is scarred and more dully colored. These machines have definitely seen alot of action and had their arms blown off at some past battle.

Β I just love how you are able to convey the essence of the ablative armour. It does look like something that is supposed to fall away when damaged.Β

I'm just surprised that battlemechs look anything like I thought they would

ACS does much better work then the artists who worked on the Sarna site images, but of course he also has the benefit of computers whereas they didn't. That said, I think his designs are cleaner, with less wires and stuff hanging out to get shot off. They truly feel like solid, well built war machines rather then something from a child's cartoon.

Like the brand grew up a bit

The Shrike seems a little bit too small, even though it's a tad farther behind. But other than that... damn, that's one great piece of digital art!

Great mechs though I feel the style of the mechs and the background are a bit disparate

Good to see your art again - was beginning to think you'd taken a dropship off-world.

Haha yeah I've had a long down time, trying to get some presence back.

Love the orange and green colour scheme you got goingΒ

Definitely very good, the only drawback are the background rocks looking too real, but otherwise the feel and color are all great.

Yeah, the photobashing got a bit lazy on this one

This is so cool! I can't get over it! The amount of detail you can show on your mechs is just stunning. Absolutely stunning! Mega-giga like!

And to think I'm more of a low detail mech artist

MechAssault is a spinoff game from the Battletech setting, so it's the same

Yah. Battletech, Mechwarrior, Mechassault, MechCommander, they're all Battletech games.

Looks like a mixture of 2D and 3D. Is this your new style for later artwork?

I typically use 3D base models for mechanical stuff these days, at least on the higher budget pieces.

Quite well, I play MWO regularly, and am an official artist for the tabletop version.
