The Warhammer Pack art is done! The prints and sundries will be ordered soon. It’ll still be a few weeks before the sale officially starts. The pack will feature 5 prints and a coaster; the standard size on the prints will be 8.5″x11″.
Looks like there was a CGL leak out of Germany today. We got our first look at the Battletech Command board game. That’s my artwork on the cover. I don’t know much about how the game is played. I’ve heard it is loosely based on another game. It’ll be interesting to look out for when it’s released.
Just a quick update on some stuff that leaked today. I finished those new Grey Death Legion covers just a few weeks ago. Nice to not have to wait a year to show off some new artwork.
Those workers should be wearing some protective goggles…
Greetings y’all,
I’m breaking the production order today to maintain the Warhammer theme. This was a late addition to the production order. So, some elements feel a bit rushed. ( Please don’t focus on how that ramp on the right is off perspective. )
Admittedly, I thought Defiance was the chief producer of the Warhammer up until this assignment; very embarrassing.
This time we see the CGL Warhammer blazing away at a poor Thunderbolt!
I’ve had the discussion with Tex several times about reconciling the many different versions of a mech. The basic idea we came up with is the ‘local contractors” concept. These chassis see non-stop combat for hundreds of years over thousands of warzones. Logic would assume that there’d be various military contractors vying for maintenance contracts. Thus, a contractor would do refits, restorations, maintenance, and overhauls from parts they could source locally; and this doesn’t take into account battlefield and merc tech fiddling. In this way a Warhammer traveling with a mercenary outfit might look completely different from one used for a planetary garrison. Disregarding a mech of Theseus situation, the Warhammers might have only a few surviving components in common.
I think this is a tidy excuse for using whatever art we see fit for an episode; and I can play with all the designs.
This was either the second or third artwork created for the TTBT Warhammer episode; I lose track of these things. For this one, I used the MWO Warhammer; cause it’s hella cool.
The Raven hiding in the mist is a reference to video editor Mike. He doesn’t know much about Battletech He just mentions the Raven when the topic comes up.
Over the next several weeks I’ll be cycling the previous DnD girl designs into the Tee Public store. If you don’t see the one you want, it’ll be in the shop soon.
So, it seems that the DP9 team plans to release my designs for the NEW New Eden miniature range over the month of January. Nice!
I’ve been wrestling with this project for the duration of 2021. I really don’t know a lot about Heavy Gear; I remember perusing the RPG books back in my teen years. It has certainly been an education. Lots of late nights patiently going over the details of HG lore and what weapon abbreviations mean.
This gear, or as Edenites call them “Golems,” is a Griffin. This is one of the first designs I produced for DP9. It’s a little rough for the first go; some wonky bits. It’ll come in two flavors. A light grenade version for anti-infantry work and an ECCM version to gum up enemy electronics. It comes with an in-built machine gun and melee claws standard.
