Capt.FlushGarden · Posted: Fri Dec 29, 2000 10:18 am

This is my little recon mechwarrior, Maybe I should cut back on the blue light, and how the hell can I make the men more visible??
And do the bullet holes look corny to you? can you even se them??
Well, You guys can tare it apart if you like...even more than the repairmen are...hehe

put some flaking paint around the bullet holes, it'll be more accurate and make them more apparent.

This looks really really good. The atmoshpere is perfect in this room. I need more.
Do you have more? MORE!

bitz · Posted: Fri Dec 29, 2000 10:32 am

me like.

as for the bullet holes, it looks more like someone with a big sniper rifle took pot shots at him.

you might want to center them around an area more, as if the gun streaked across or it ran through a stream of bullets. that and as was suggested, maybe some flaking paint or some other type of wear.

very good work though, i really like the lighting and the work on the repair guys.

Ah, paintflakes! that's an exxelent Idea!
Well Plouffe,sorry, don't have a homepage

This image was done today, took me a couple of hours...hihi..
Well, I have nothing to do and I'm free from highschool! I like to paint two pictures at the same time, so if I get bored with one of them, I just continue with the other....Badabing badaboom!

Fantastic! I love it!
No crits from me..
Hmm maybe just clean up some of the edges in order to give it a sharper and more finished look.
You are very talented and i like everything i've seen from you so far!
What do you work with? I mean for a living

Wow!

This stuff is awesome! Lovely light & shading and the perspective and sense of scale is pretty good too.

What micke said.

Plus I agree with some shiny metal showing through around the bullet holes.

Make the repair crew wear some bright warning colors :).

aaand, is this Painter you're using? It looks kind of photoshopish, but I can't tell.

Fantastic, that's really solid. I can't think of much to crit at the moment.

post some more pics

Looks really cool so far. The mech looks like it came from the assembly line not too long ago, and already it got banged up :) My only suggestion would be to add some weathering detail to it. Another thing would be if it's in the hanger why are it's forward headlights on? or is it undergoing a diagnostic ;)

Nex · Posted: Fri Dec 29, 2000 1:26 pm

whow.. simply great!

I like the blue light btw.. looks like its moonlight or light from outside coming in.

RamDac · Posted: Fri Dec 29, 2000 1:53 pm

Holy shit!! you made a mechwarrior just as I requested haha... And tell you what, It looks scweet!

Ragnarok · Posted: Fri Dec 29, 2000 1:57 pm

Just plain great. Awesome.
It reminds me of an old game of star wars where you could see your damaged ship at the end of a mission. The look was pretty similar, and this one is perfect. =D

Rob M · Posted: Fri Dec 29, 2000 2:30 pm

Holy ... <craps pants>

Seriously, beautiful picture. Love the detail on the Mech itself, very stylish. Reminds of a WWII submarine.

DO you plan to add more detail to the legs,if not the background? They look kind of out of place without the attention to detail that you gave to the chasis.

very good job. I always wondered how people are able to paint such "realistic" scenes, like the metal int he bg and such. Do oyu use photos?

Looks very nice. I love watching it become more and more defined, feel free to keep posting updates.

You don't have a site?? A real problem around here... great artworks need a place to hang.

Wow, it reminds me of Craig and Loki's work combined, but with your own personal touch. Very sweet. Do you have more? Or perhaps, a webpage?

Keep it up, you inspire me!
