I have made some Battletech fan art as digital paintings. They are executed in a classic style in an attempt to update and emulate the artists of the eighties and early nineties, inspired by the most recent redesigns/resculpts of these battlemechs. My personal key stylistic inspiration in this work is Kevin Long, whose work with Palladium games, primarily on Robotech, captured my imagination as a child.
This Whitworth, a type known to the Mechwarriors of the Federated Suns as the 'Worthless,' fights for the security of the periphery worlds of the Anjin Muerto Administrative Area.

This painting depicts the first steps of the Orion K variant as the initial prototype is tested by engineers of Kali Yama Weapons Industries at their proving grounds on Kalidasa.
This initial prototype of the popular K variant incorporated a number of design flaws that were eliminated before the production version was produced on Hesperus II, not the least of which was the faceted cockpit, rejected by test pilots due to poor visibility and replaced with the now-familiar triangular design.
Produced for the Terran Hegemony, this would go on to be one of the most successful variants of one of the most prolific heavy battlemechs in the Inner Sphere. A much-modified version of the battlemech this prototype eventually evolved into was famously piloted by Alexander Kerensky himself, though it would barely resemble this early test-pilot hotrod.

I paint the covers of my father’s science fiction novels, which are fascinating, and mostly about Mars Colonisation.
Bluenose is a Canadian Schooner from Lunenburg Nova Scotia, famous for dominating the Fisherman's Cup in the first half of the 20th Century. This model is my personal effort toward creating a digital recreation of her. This realtime model is roughly 150,000 polys.
The GP9u was one of my favourite locomotives as a kid. On its recent retirement I was inspired to create this tribute model. At 200,000 polys, it is capable of running in realtime.
