Description I forget the model name, and I no longer have Battletech Technical Readout 2750 to look it up in. This is way, way old. Oooooold. I traced it out of the book when I was about ...oh, ten or eleven. So, roughly a decade ago. Then I forgot about it. I found it when I got a scanner, and scanned it (because I could), and forgot about it again until I got Paint Shop 6. Before I got PSP6, I'd been using PSP 1.0. You couldn't even paint in it back then, just cut, resize, rotate, mirror, greyscale, use some simple filters, things like that. It was the coolest damn thing ever when I got it. Shareware used to be great. ^_^ ...ahem. Colored c. 1998-99 in PSP6, lens flare sun from PS5. Huzzah.

It might be called the Corsair, design once owned by FASA Corporation. It was the first thing I ever CG'ed. ("Awww!" Shaddap.) It is posted because I still like it, and because sometimes I'm still basically the kid who memorized his brother's 'Mech books and wanted to live on the terminus of the moon when he grew up.

Eh, I really only got interested in BattleTech recently, but I've always loved it since MechWarrior 2.

The Corsair wasn't removed from FASA official use after the 2750 TRO. Anyway great work! I love the corsair its the quintessential universal SF space fighter. The Xwing, Zwing, Galactica Vipers, they all look just like it.

CSR-V12 Corsair. I couldnt find it in my old 2750, but I did see it in my old edition of 3025 before that whole lawsuit deal. Well done.

Sweeeet. Really good use of shading (again). I really like the blaster coming off the back end of that thing. Looks like you made good use of PS. My only critique is that the back of the ship should be lit up a bit more around where the blaster is. Then again, you can get away without doing that and it'd still look great. Nice work.
