I love it ! I hope someday there will be a skin contest to have a chance to have this in the game =P

I was working on that piece for a very long time. Stuck with few things, almost resigned... Thanks goes to Erathic for kicking my butt to finish that piece!

Hope You guys enjoy it!



Specialist Kelley during his deep reconnaissance patrol of sector Bermuda-17C of treacherous Duneland desert. Kelley's trusty A-class Moke chassis 'Bad Zebra' was well known for precise use of HEAT cannon.

Sadly his last radio transmission was:
'Do you have any idea, any idea who I am_ Basically kinda big deal!'

OMG this is stunning!!!!  I just found this post, and I'm glad I did. Excellent texturing and atmosphere.

May I ask where you get your models from, or do you make them yourself_

The models are from the very game installed on my hard drive. There are several ways to acquire them (U could ask other Fanartists or old uncle Google for that) - but my secret is UDK. It's a fantastic tool to see how the games are created.. well.. at least those made in UNREAL Engine. I worked for few years in game development - wanted to learn more - so this is my field of interest.

So I must say this - the real credits for 'my' fanarts goes to fantastic team of Meteor Entertainment - especially to Alan van Ryzin, Ryan Hawkins, Mashru Mishu and Yaron Levi. According to my research those guys made most of 3D models & textures of Hawken's mechs. And of course there is Khang Le - to my knowledge this is the guy who created visual feel of Hawken world!

Surely there are others but... That's the ugly side of this industry: we do know the final product but do not know its true creators at all.

So I salute You all - Known & Unknown Creators of Hawken - for me personally - A True Marvel of game industry!

If only the Developers knew how much I was inspired by them... Those fanarts are my way to say 'Thank You'.. (and yeah - few bucks on an extra camo too!)
