I was hoping if I could use multiple of these mechas for ideas to create my own mech, so that is why I am asking you for permission

If you're just using them for general inspiration that's never a bad thing.

This game will be similarly about modular mechs, though not quite as extreme as Hounds. That was a fun game.

looks awesome,
but the first thing that stuck out to me was the right arm. it reminds me alot of the side torso of the mechwarrior online catapult. especialy the tip.

just my 2 cents

Thanks.
Wedges and rectangles are not uncommon shapes for gun housings. You'll find that shape everywhere.

Don't you mean "fanboy scream"?
well, they're all going to be for sale. It's just takes a month or more to get each one into production.

The first run of 50 already sold out. Keep an eye on the facebook page for when the next set comes. I'll probably post something here when it's approaching too.

Another stellar design Anthony, Nova Cat inspired?

I like the smooshed canopy look and the strong defining angles. Well done.

The only mechs that I used some deliberate reference on were the Mercs, which you'll see when I get to them. Definitely avoided making BT references, as that already comes in strong enough due to my personal style.

Thats a fair point, I think most artists emulate styles or ideas that they are most inspired with themselves, its hard not to do something and then think: Was that original or did I just copy something I saw somewhere?

Gorgeous design~!
The body and legs call to mind some of the older Front Mission mechs, or it might just be me.

It's not just you. I saw the thumbnail and my mind immediately went to some FM4 designs...

I've never played those games, but I did put a little industrial/rugged/modular look into them, which is common of those kinds of mechs.

Great work. I was curious as to which arm holds the guass rifle and which holds the auto cannon?

Beefy cannon on it's left, gauss on it's right.
