Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everybody! Fresh off the digital press! The Van Zandt Songbook ( Vol.1 ) A Battletech themed album. ( And a small revue of BPL art by yours truly; most of it. Oh, and that cool dropship sequence I did. NEAT! )

And, Van Zandt has it’s own flow now.

Enjoy!

Sarna has gifted us with a new Bad Mech article this December. Has the Chameleon’s Karma caught up with it? ( Naw, the mech seems alright. )

Operation “Smack them in the armpit” was a stunning success. Unfortunately, it failed to intimidate the Jade Falcons. Good thing Kai had a back-up plan.

Continuing the fight for the gash! It’s time to swat some toads. Good thing the Hatchetman comes with a suitable fly swatter.

Next up is the Kai Allard battle at the gash sequence. Starting with Kai’s defense of the field hospital art.
I have already posted the key colored pieces for the sequence, but I have a ton of grayscale art to show off.

The final scene from the battle of Radstadt. Another classic in my line of looong scrolling scenes with a static element for framing. I pioneered this back in the Rifleman episode with the dropship scenes; the sequence really holds up.

Sarna’s November Bad Mech article is here. It probably takes a wise and very patient Mechwarrior to pilot a Great turtle; lots of time to meditate
