  1. Actually this is an infinitely more interesting mecha design.🤔
  2. The kickstater has concluded with 546 backers and over 70k in pledges. Excitipated about how this tome is ultimately going to look.
  3. The best way to find out is to ask, so I did. They're there but sans art assets due to the understandable art prioritisation process they had to follow ( budget+space). I might shoehorn one or both into my larger piece but that's a battlescene not a portrait of individual mecha. Be nice to have at least some visual representation of all Bioroid types though.
  4. Humans, always getting in the way!😆 I wonder if this will appear in the Homefront RPG as it never appeared in the RT comics and novels AFAIK. The only other place I saw it was in Solar Flair's game.
  5. Apparently this mecha is glimpsed in either the opening or the credits. did try messing around with other colour schemes when I was going to colour this myself. But white and black makes it look like an Imperial Scout Trooper, black and white makes it look like it belongs in the GMP, and purple and green makes it look Skrullian. At least the yellow has not been used before. What colour scheme would you use for this?
  6. Sadly they still have not fixed the Alley-Viper's visor to give it the cool look from the card backing and Battlegrounds art. Alley Viper EP4 | G.I. Joe: Battleground Wiki | Fandom Alley Viper C1 | G.I. Joe: Battleground Wiki | Fandom
  7. I'm not convinced that Dune is really accessible to the average viewer anyway, no matter how much is explained. By this I mean the ability to relate to the characters, and the broader than human scale scope, not the ability to understand what is going on. Not explaining everything can work depending on how its done. If its a good movie, with some intriguing unanswered questions, then sci-fi fans (those not already familiar with it) might be inspired to delve into the lore to learn more. OTH the foundation must still be laid sufficiently to take the audience along, otherwise they become so confused that they no longer CARE what is going on.
  8. Is there anything I will like? Snappy armour/uniforms? Incredible war machines? An impressive battle? Any creatures or aliens? One of the reasons I disliked the 1984 version (and there were many) was the lack of biodiversity on screen. Humans, a small dog, a skinny cat and sandworms don't a world make for me. I don't expect Arrakis to be Fenrille, but still...
  9. Thrawn and a Rebel Trooper arrived. Waiting on some Bounty Hunters now.
  10. This KS has now reached over 10X the set goal. Decided to chose a single page for art commission as well.🙂 And in other news, all Bioroids coloured by Steve Lyons: https://m.facebook.com/steven.lyons.735?groupid=1456468031274584&ref=m_notif&notif_t=feedback_reaction_generic
  11. Hey Hikaru... ...there are plenty more idols that need rescuing.😁
  12. Very nice! Isn't it amazing how the classic costumes always leave the redesigns in the dust. Although I'd prefer it if the visor was properly tinted.
  13. Well if you like that you will enjoy the Brian McAfee Robotech novella The Lesser of Two Evils. BTW: its seems that we will have the opportunity for art commissions in the Among the Stars RPG as well. I already made a suggestion for a piece, which thus far wasn't rejected.🙂
  14. So I take it that's a center piece then, you don't see what they're firing at? Well the guys confirmed that my idea would not out of place in the book. Just for the IP to approve. My fall back idea is three Bioroid Invid Fighters, on a desolate landscape sprouting Hive structures, surrounded by Invid Shocktroopers.
  15. Centauri, Vorlon, Shadow, Minbari and Narn ships would all be interesting. They are pleasing to the eye.👽
  16. I still have and love my Robot Spirits Queadluun-Rhea.😍 I'd love a Robot Spirits Nousjadeul-Ger or Queadluun-Rau as well.😊
  17. i'm going with a double page spread. I have a single page fall back in mind if its not approved by the IP. AYKB the Tirolian forces did not all just disappear when the Invid arrived, so I'm going for an Invid-Tirolian combat scene. I hope they give us this opportunity in the To the Stars tome as well. Reason being I obviously can't ask for any of the Regent's forces to be included in any Homefront art.
  18. The art commission is the big ticket item for me. I'm willing to pay more to bring something I want into existence. I have to wonder how many of the other backers are also doing this. That's fine. Because it means that the next book will probably happen. Which inevitably translates into this artist doing, inter alia, art of the beloved Hellcats. Which is a win.🥳
