Description
This mechwarrior babe gives a thumbs-up after a successful mission with her Axman Mk.3 mech.I mainly come from the "Gundam School" of mech design and as a result I redesigned the ol' Axman to something a bit more my taste, hence the "Mk 3" designation.
The ax is the same as the version I fitted to my Axman minis in my collection. I tend to "tweek" my minis...track guards, personal gear, spare fluid tanks, smoke launchers, beefer looking weapons, etc...
This piece was done for the guys from the Dallas/Ft. Worth area "Mechwarrior's Guild" for use as a convention badge at Project Akon a few years ago. They run Battletech games at the con, so if you're a Battletech fan check 'em out.
I realized that I had posted this image at Elfwood only, so...I figured that my friends here at DA should have a chance to enjoy it as well.

Β She was drawn to be non-specific so that any Battletech fan could enjoy, regardless of affiliation.Β I really need to do a new version of this, and get around to other mechs-with-girls pics.

I think the Axeman series was mainly Fedcom or FedSuns.

I want to know which house or clan she belongs to...

Yes! Girls play too
Do you know where I can find the Kowloon and CASPR drone fanfiction series? My search-engine-fkeeps hitting dead-ends.
What series [scifi, anime, manga, fanfiction, etc] recommend?
I advise the Honour Harrington series, Lucky Star by Paul French [Issiac Asimov], and Monster Makers Inc.

Very nice. Awesome picture. I usually pilot the Hunchback but I would not hesitate to use that mech, the axe is a nice touch. The girl looks good to, nice uniform lol. I'm trying to design some mechs but not having any luck yet. ;-;

Okay okay,you have drawn an Axman. Can you draw a Timber Wolf or a Thor? Or perhaps my favorite Solaris VII Mech the Volkh.

Um...her face is too angled away from her neck...like it's sitting on top of it. Also, the thumn on her hand is too far out, and the breasts are too angular, and the thighs are too long and trunklike.

I had the Axman toy when I was younger(Now all the parts are missing)
I always liked these style of Mech, it seems more...idk, strong as opposed to the sleek fast style that I see in most of the Gundam series.

I like! It I want the mech and the uniform!!!!

You can paint the mech any color you like.
Though I'd recommend a flat black, considering it's a warmachine and all.
π: 0 β©: 1
Sure I like basic black myself. Does it come with a laser sword??
π: 0 β©: 1
Sadly no, but it comes with a BIG double-headed axe! I had to keep it somewhat like the original Battletech mecha.
Later I'll post some of my other (and original) mecha, some of those have beam swords.

That's ok. The BIG axe is good too. *Big wicked toothey grin*
Nice.

Despite the skimpy size of the outfit, it took awhile to draw and color.
I was trying to stick to Battletech's idea of a Mechwarrior's outfit having these cooling tubes all over it. I'm happy with the result.
The typical Mechwarrior neural helmet is a beastly thing, so I went for something new.
π: 0 β©: 1
It must have tooken awhile to draw and colour. Ah, cooling tubes, should have guessed what those were 
The new helmet looks nicer too
π: 0 β©: 1
The helmet was sort of a compromise...the Battletech neural helmet is big, bulky, and very ugly. It also has a very small face plate, something that isn't good in combat.
I often prefer to draw helmets that are like astronaut helmets, or like USAF pilot helms, or my fave...chopper pilot helms.
One of the Axis Army mech pilot helms is a blend of U.S. chopper pilot and Soviet-era padded tanker's helmet. I've got a few pics that I need to finish showing a character wearing one of those.

In MechWarrior 4's live action scenes, such as the intro, they appear to use Army helicopter helmets...
