Description Anoth illustration I did for the Battletech Marik XTRO

At first I wasn't too excited to be redesigning an egg with limbs, but in the end I liked how it came out.

I like it, but then, I love the Urbanmech and Flashman and even the Fireball.   Maybe I got an egg fetish?   Everytime I redid the Jackal, I made it look "better" but I think departed way too much from the base.   This looks better while staying true to the Lightning Egg.

What's that little piece set against the cockpit view-slit? A mono-eye? Some little greeble next to the head? The pilot's helmet?

I just decided it would be more interesting to break up the window shape into separate parts, instead of one visor.

The more human-like torso warrants more human-like legs, but I love how this was done.

Splendid work here! But may suggest that for future work, maybe use a lighter value for any secondary elements, in this case, the trees in the middleground? I feel that I may help the more important parts be more important.

Shimmering-Sword In reply to Rovien [2011-01-20 10:33:43 +0000 UTC]

Yea, I didn't put shades in many of my backgrounds, and I think the shade is a touch lighter, but I see your point.
