SOLCOM. Butanding-Class, or "Whale Shark". Armed with over a hundred Casaba-Howitzer missiles, each on its own mini Orion drive, in case humanity ever needs to erase an alien fleet. Shiptember's ending, so this is my last Orion for a long while. Hope y'all enjoyed the show.

Massive flat spacecraft propelled by a nuclear pulse drive. It has hundreds of casaba-howitzer missiles pushed by its own tiny orion drive.

Shiptember. SOLCOM. Tilapia-Class Light Gauss-Missile Carrier. Problem w/ making these in 1 day is the details gotta be gibberish or you'll drain your juice by the 8th hr. Binged S4/5 of Homeland while sketching. Great series. S4 ending was good. PS. Rose's newest song is repetitive. ToughSF.

Orion drive starship with gauss-launched missiles at the front. It has radiators that make the ship look like a fish. It's very long and narrow. Blue and yellow colour, sorta like Ukraine I guess?

SOLCOM. Siquijor-Class spacecraft with Orion. Equipped with massive sensors to find any target within Sol. Can't hit what you can't see. Setting where sneaky aliens invade our star system, so we spent more money on nukes or whatever. Bit late for shiptember but eh. ToughSF? Hmmm... defo not HardSF

Massive starship with massive sensors and an Orion Drive and radiators so SOLCOM can find enemy aliens and shoot them or something.

Mech layout for 3/4 crew like actual tanks. Sensors suck in the early mech age so they all gotta peer through tiny holes and crappy periscopes

Shiptember: ToughSF ship for my tooootally unique setting about war on lunar orbit. Thinking about a name for it - Moonar Kerfuffle, Satellite Spat, Selene's Issues. Any ideas? Runs on Methamphetalyne propellants and fentalyne fuel. #toughsf #shiptember #shiptember2025

ToughSF ship with missiles, pulse lasers, radiators, and nuclear thermal electric rocket engines. Because I've been super busy, that's all

LOBSTER. LBS-2A. Heavy Tripod (70t). Laser Build. Stats in replies. #Battletech #WesternMech #EasternDesigner #lmao

Image of a Battletech BattleMech with three Improved Heavy Medium Lasers, six Medium Pulse Lasers, and one Laser Anti-Missile System on its head. Got a nice Targeting Computer too because it's always cool to have.

Lore for even bigger nerds. Does anyone actually read Battletech novels? How's their quality? I gotta expand my media beyond MW5, HBS BTAU, and Sarna. #Battletech

LOBSTER: LBS-1A. Heavy Tripod. My "entry" to the "Heavy Crab" suggestions. Not a Crab though, so it's disqualified. Stats and lore below. Always happy for feedback. #Battletech #Mechwarrior

One really chonky crab-like lobster that's colour green and has a bunch of weapons stuck on it. Do anyone actually read these alt-text? What are they actually for? Does it really help those with disabilities of some sort or am I just writing here as my pseudo-soapbox? Also haven't visited Bsky in a while since I'm just so tired from roaming around social media. Don't think it's good for anyone's mental health to just go through these feeds all day. Go out and exercise, my dudes.

Rigging bipeds is fun. But man tripods are a huge pain in the butt. How do they even walk? Sassily? Maybe the rear leg should be at the front. #Battletech #BlenderTechSupport

The build. Happy to hear suggestions for future variiants :D #Battletech

My contribution to the "Heavy Crab" suggestions - the Lobster, 70t. Technically not a Crab so I took note of it in the lore Haha Only had yesterday to start on this and there's barely any references for three-legged mechs, so it was a bit tougher than usual. #Battletech #Mechwarrior

Here's with an MML-7, but I'm only at 7.5t of Clan Ferro - which may be real light for a 55t Medium. #Battletech

JPV Art (Comms Open) @jpv-art.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

Thought about redesigning the Black Hawk-KU and making it more Apache-like. But then it just looked like every other helicopter mech and now I don't know what to do. Probably finish it for completion's sake. MML-5 with Art IV and UAC/5. The Art's defo wasted on the MML-5s. #Battletech #Mechwarrior

JPV Art (Comms Open) @jpv-art.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

Even at its highest it can't reach the Atlas' 15m height. Real good for fire and duck though. Could hide under houses, shoot, and scoot #Battletech

JPV Art (Comms Open) @jpv-art.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

lmao I'm trying to learn how to rig/animate the other Nightstar to check for joint tolerances and walking - and it looks like it's tiptoeing to sneak around I guess this is actually how stealth as an assault mech works #Battletech Also rigging mechs is quite fun. This feels too addicting

2252

JPV Art (Comms Open) @jpv-art.bsky.social · 02/04/2025

The full lore is that this is actually a Republic of the Sphere mech designed to fight against the Capellans. The ROTS knew the Capellans used a lot of stealth, so they used WoB tech to gain some upperhand :D

Nightstar II. My sequel to the one of the coolest Battletech mechs, the Nightstar. It's just a sneakier version updated with clan tech, designed for SEAD / INFIL like a land-based F-117 Nighthawk. This is 1st design. 2nd one will be coming soon. BT fans lemme know what you think! #Battletech :D

JPV Art (Comms Open) @jpv-art.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

Added some internal weapons bay for the torso and head. Heavy Assault Gauss for L/RA. Now this looks like a 100t Nightstar mixed with King Crab - perhaps the best idea for a Nightstar II. It's either this or the one before this. Hmmm... 1.75m box scale. She's a chonker. #Battletech #Mechwarrior

This is my design for a Nightstar II - a sequel and upgrade to the famous Nightstar Assault Mech. #battletech #mechwarrior #mech #battlemech #robots #marchofrobots25 #kingcrab #nightstar #miniature

JPV Art (Comms Open) @jpv-art.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

Out of all my Nightstar II sketches, this is the most Nightstar looking one. I'll probably do another or two of these 3D sketches - but this is a good candidate! For "stealth" vibes, it has internal weapons bays for SXPLs, ERPPC, Angel ECM, AMS, & etc. What'd you think? #Battletech #Mechwarrior

JPV Art (Comms Open) @jpv-art.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

WIP In my quest to design a Nightstar II I accidentally redesigned the Raven and other chicken mechs. I gotta spend more time on the 3D sketches. I got a hang of the silhouette now but I gotta look at it from 3D printing / tabletop povtoo. Releasing an STL for free maybe #Battletech #Mechwarrior

030

JPV Art (Comms Open) @jpv-art.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

Still doing my other 3D sketches, but here's a quickly textured 3D base of my potential Nightstar II designs (and their non-textured models). I sketch on top of these for the final results Wouldn't take these as final looks for the 3D prints :D #battletech #mechwarrior #mechs

JPV Art (Comms Open) @jpv-art.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

I wrote a simple background on the Nightstar II (NSR II). If you're a BT fan, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this! #battletech #mechwarrior #btlore

JPV Art (Comms Open) @jpv-art.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

Instead of redesigning the Nightstar, I'll just make a sequel to the Nightstar with a narrow but impt mission profile as SEAD / Wild Weasel (on land?) / Stealth Strategic Attack fitted with a special Void Signature System. Here are my sketches :) Lemme know what you like #battletech #mechwarrior

Marauder and Nightstar references so we're on the same page

JPV Art (Comms Open) @jpv-art.bsky.social · 20/03/2025

Oh yeah E seemed tall to me for a bit, but I checked the Marauder's silhouette and it's a valid way to interpret the Nightstar. Here's a refined silhouette (with incomplete lines) where I shrunk it to the lore-accurate value of ~14m. Good shape breakdown! That helps to see the proportions better

JPV Art (Comms Open) @jpv-art.bsky.social · 20/03/2025

Hey #battletech #mechwarriors. What's the lore height of the Nightstar or Marauder? I have a stack of 1.75m people on the top left to a total height of ~14m +/-2. Designing my own Nightstar with stealthier vibes and less exposed canopy. Lemme know which silhouette you like too :)

I love Gundam's Zaku and Battletech, so I tried to make one in BT style. BT has humanoid mechs, but I prefer the "hunched" designs. Been ages since I've sketched mechs, so any feedback is appreciated! I think I could work on the torso more... Sketch posted earlier :D #battletech #gundam

Practising mechs and this time I'm trying to Battletech-ify the Zaku from Gundam. Lemme know how I did :) I need to improve on my mechs since I'm not used to making them. Full 3D sketch coming later

Sketches because I'm not good enough to do a full proper sketch without simple sketches :)

Super old version before I even started learning proper design. As you can see, I used to be terrible :)

JPV Art (Comms Open) @jpv-art.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

A quick sketch remake of an old spaceship named after my friend, Urika! It's a scout-exploration vessel designed by the Malaysian Space Force. Some old whacky design I've been wanting to remake for years now. Old version in the replies. You can see how crappy my sketches used to be :)

The Urika-Class Recon-Exploration Vessel is a venerable scout starship designed by the Malaysian Star Force around the 27th century to explore the nearby star systems. It's a redesign of my old ship.

My version of Halo ODST's suppressed SMG firing the original caseless and my own cased ammo. Justification was heat rejection in vacuum environments. I gotta do another version of this, there are some elements I don't like anymore. #halo #smg #firearms #guns #concept #odst #helldivers

Gunner, HEAT, Combine! The L2A8 Pagong is an improvised main battle tank converted from a heavy combine harvester. I wish someone would combine Farming Simulator, Mechwarrior, and GHPC. Non-simulationist games are getting really boring. #GrainWars #Tanks #Warthunder #GHPC #Farmingsimulator #wargames
