Mech Tutorial Part 2a

This is an example of the weapon loading probs when you go overboard, I've used a simple addition sheet which you can find in my gallery. [link]

It helps to define a mech for artisitc purposes. Can be used as a guide basis. The mech in the second frame is waaay too bulky and silly, too many weapons and just looks weird.

The first one is light and probably could use a big gun or two, it's still got heaps of points left to allocate.

I know all the Battletech fans would be up in arms over my point system, but I don't care, 'cause when you look at the detail, weapons need ammo boxes and cooling units dependant upon their type. So I've taken that on board, that's why the point system differs so much from their data. But remember, there's no hard and fast rules, this is only for people who want to have a start somewhere. :)

You can check out the other drawing tutorial sheet here. [link]

Since you are one of my new rolemodels, can you tell me any flaws and what I could do better at? (it's only a concept.) :D

You overloaded your mech - a beginner's mistake.

Watch out for overheating your mech too - don't take too powerful guns or overheat-prone mech into desert. It completely resets like your tuned Celeron and for a few seconds you just idle stare and wait which enemy makes a practice target out of you... =P
