Really awesome work on this. You've done a great job of staying very true to the original design while also capturing some of the great aesthetics of the Original Trilogy. There are a few examples where the sillier design they went with makes for a moment or two of decent droid humor, but overall I would have much preferred a different take on them. The idea of relentless, terminator-esque killing machines (but still with limitations) just makes for such a better adversary for the elite Fett clones.
I especially agree about the voices. The deep, muffled, and scary electronic voices the SBDs had in the Republic Commando video game were great. Too bad they went with the silly ones in RotS.

Many thanks! I've always been curious to see the prequel trilogy somehow reimagined in the original trilogy style.

Yeah, no kidding. That would be great to see. Even if it was just a big book of concept art or something. Only certain things would need to be changed, too. A lot of the new alien species and creatures of the PT still meshed fairly well with the aesthetics of the OT. Costumes, several of the worlds... The architecture made for quite a few divergences and then the droids and ship designs were always the biggest change for me. I'd love to see a lot of those re-done in the old style. You made a great start with these battle droids here. Keep up the awesome work!

Maybe I'll try that as a future project some day.

Right on. I'll keep an eye out for that.

Yeah! Thought that would be a nice nod to the original trilogy, and it would help audience see that "Oh, these are the stormtroopers of the prequels."
I've also always loved General Grievous's design, so I put a very small bit of that in as well, since he was the droid commander in 3.
