AirMech Artwork

nicklc

Hey everybody! First time posting here so we'll see how it goes.

Just wanted to share some artwork that I've been working on for AirMech. It's an Action-RTS game with transforming robots! There's a lot that I want to share so I'll keep updating this page as I have more time. Hope you guys like them!

Awesome. Love these. Love the style and the colors and the execution. Well done.

I've been playing the beta a fair bit. Its rad!

The art in paricular really stands out.

Just wish the game wasnt freemium. Freemium really doesnt suit a rts game... man i want campaign. (i'd be happy with buying campaign levels though!) Also... Australian servers!

Don't worry Muzz. We're going to have a campaign/story and Australian servers. Actually, Australia should be available in the newest update!

Glad you like the style and that you've been following the game!

I've had so much fun making these and I can't wait to post more. I love cramming as much as I can into these 256x256 textures.

Those models and textures are looking great, nicklc! Which engine you guys are using for AirMech?

Thanks! We're actually using a custom engine for AirMech.

Nick! Awesome to see your stuff here, it's all looking great. Are you still a tech artist or more 3D at this point?

Madison!! I'm doing more 3D at this point but it jumps from day to day. I just help out where I can.

These look really great. I really like the colors for the jets and very clean texture work as well.

Here's a new unit that I finished about a week ago called Bertha.

Here's a new Osprey skin variant that will be available soon.

Yeah, really loving the art in this, super yummy. Not sure if it's within your reach but some environment shots/breakdowns would be great, too.

I havent actually played the game, but the style is awesome! Is there a reason why you dont just use planes for the propellers though?
Also, I noticed you have actual geometry for the inner barrel of the tank, which doesnt seem necessary. Like I said though, I havent played the game so maybe theres a reason for that :P

I was actually planning on doing some breakdowns and the environment stuff is not out of reach. Also, there are the ground modes for AirMechs that I want to show but just haven't gotten around to it.

The propellers on the Osprey don't use planes because the engines actually rotate 90 degrees when it moves so it wouldn't really look right. They would just look too flat and I wanted them to have a little thickness.

The tanks, and most units with large barrels, have a slight inset for the inner barrel because it gave them that extra detail that looked good when viewed from the camera angle that we have. I did try it without the inset but it just looked too plain. Hope that explains why I did what I did.

You should try out the game Selaznog. In my opinion, it looks amazing. Especially when you play it in higher resolutions (1680x1050+).

I'll try the game out when I get home.
