You can use your Assault too, with a CR-T Recruit chassis.

Erathic, when developing this stuff, where do you get the images of the mechs_

They look like photos, but I have no idea how you get them.

Thanks for your interest !
The answer is : I use 3D models as a base !

here's a sum up of my steps for the latest one :

• Play some Hawken
  
• Sketching the composition
  
• Pose 3D models of the mechs and custom props i made or adapted in Cinema 4D
  
• Light the mechs (my computer started melting, because i like using LOT of them to hightlight or hide specific mech parts )
  
• Light the scene volumetric fog, volumetric lights
  
• Hit render
  
  Now i have my base pic !
  
  
• In Photoshop I redraw it, rework colors and lighting, and put some textures and add more "realistic" touch
  
  Now i have my pic !
  
  
• In Illustrator I draw everything else, logos, random UI element, titling

Tada

I think you can extract all the models from the game folders.

I had a feeling you used a process like this. I tried using screenshots I took from in game (thanks to those who tried to model) and the clarity was just not good enough. Tried hand drawing things in a simpler way and it didn't meet my expectations. Maybe I'll be able to make something for a contest down the line.

Erathic! Big congratulations on winning the grand prize AND a judge pick, dude! You totally earned it.
