Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everybody! Fresh off the digital press! The Van Zandt Songbook ( Vol.1 ) A Battletech themed album. ( And a small revue of BPL art by yours truly; most of it. Oh, and that cool dropship sequence I did. NEAT! )
And, Van Zandt has it’s own flow now.
Enjoy!

Going out with a bang! And here we are at the end of my contributions to the TTT Twycross episode. Kudos again to editor Crow for making the final scenes work.

Body Blow!
Operation “Smack them in the armpit” was a stunning success. Unfortunately, it failed to intimidate the Jade Falcons. Good thing Kai had a back-up plan.

It’s like playing Elemental Fruit Ninja.
Continuing the fight for the gash! It’s time to swat some toads. Good thing the Hatchetman comes with a suitable fly swatter.

Shhh…the patients are trying to rest.
Next up is the Kai Allard battle at the gash sequence. Starting with Kai’s defense of the field hospital art.
I have already posted the key colored pieces for the sequence, but I have a ton of grayscale art to show off.

Back seat view to oblivion.
The final scene from the battle of Radstadt. Another classic in my line of looong scrolling scenes with a static element for framing. I pioneered this back in the Rifleman episode with the dropship scenes; the sequence really holds up.

The art of zen and mech piloting.
Sarna’s November Bad Mech article is here. It probably takes a wise and very patient Mechwarrior to pilot a Great turtle; lots of time to meditate
