I am by no means anything approximating a creative person, but I guess I can point to a few designy things that I like, and tend towards what I would imagine here.

I kinda like the retro-futuristic stuff you can see in the first two alien movies; you know, the stuff that they thought was really futuristic at the time but is just laughable now_ Prometheus kinda bridged that by keeping some of the overall design the same while throwing out the stuff that obviously does not fit. However I do tend to prefer the style of the older movies.

In Alien, Ripley and all the other people on the Nostromo are basically space truckers, and they act and dress appropriately, which I really kind of like, and I think some of that is applicable to Hawken, too. According to the lore, the people piloting the mechs aren't military trained veterans or anything, these are just regular people, usually lower classes, stuck in a dire situation and are being exploited by those running the corporations for their own financial gain, consequences be damned. These guys don't have a lot of means, they just see a way to make their situation better.

There's one piece of Hawken concept art in particular that I really think matches what I had been imagining so far as this, and that's the piece of art that has a bunch of guys sitting on a mech drinking beer and playing guitar and stuff. That's really the feel so far as the situation these guys find themselves in, as well as the general aesthetic that I think of when I think of Hawken.

As far as what they are wearing once they are in a mech, it could be as simple as the clothing seen above and below; again, they are not always the most well-supported people...

Anyway, there's my two cents.

I would like to see that jumpsuit clothing from "Alien" in EVE online

Looks cool, but nothing like hawken.

Though I am glad to see his left position light is correct, though the right one should be green not blue...

That is a cop, not an aircraft.

I know this, but the Pacific Rim pilots look similar

Hey Saturine, glad you like this! It was actually me that painted the Guitar in the guys hands, he is supposed to be holding a rifle but I thought it made for a better feel. I'm with you on the Alien theme too. Ace!

Oh! I was totally convinced that was part of the original picture! You did a good job with it, and yeah, it absolutely fits the picture very well having it in.

Its all about making the best out of what you have at hand.



And before you ask; Yes, the airplane nosecone, Icepick, machetty, halberd and discoball are also part of the decorating your mech hangar the best you can with what you have at hand attitude.
