Nova Cat Head

Since the original is from the lower angle I really can't see much difference in how that would change the view from the top down. I say go with the original, add a little MWDA but drop the gas mask filters.

Andrew McKenna

OK, thanks for the update, you are doing great work! :-D

Robert Moore

Not likely. A lot of designs wont be shown before the KS is over, though hopefully we can get them all out before backerkit is fully locked.

Anthony Scroggins

Any chance on seeing the Stone Rhino soon?

Robert Moore

MW:DA overall shape, but drop the gas mask filters.

Aaron Stevens

I agree with Josh. The original art angle looks askew and it’s hard to judge. Your concept art is good. I do like the MWDA version if it didn’t have the gas mask canisters.

Honestly I don't see a lot of difference. The original art was done from a much lower angle so it's hard to say whether or not they look the same. I like both as they are, but I prefer the slightly lower profile of the original (assuming they are different)

I like the head on your earlier concept sketch better than the original or the MWDA version.

either way the head needs to be a distinct module from the body. I HATE on the current mini howthe back of the head slopes all the way back the rear center torso

James Bixby

not denying the dark age one is cool, but it doesn't look like a clan mech, it looks like Neon Genesis Evangelion.

David

Definitely more in favor of the original head (or the concept one that you did). The MWDA one looks way too much like it was just retrofitted from a Black Knight.

Robert Schuster

Nightstar, Nightstar burning bright. You're like a Marauder with lostech spice.

Haha, for now we're working in order of the announced packs. After the KS we will likely switch to working on the most purchased packs first.

Anthony Scroggins

How about some Comstar love on the next few picts!

Robert Moore

Original head!

MWDA is by far the meaner looking one, I dig it, especially with the gas mask filters on the side

Tinman

I love the extra detail of the MWDA version.

Richard Jensen

That's a tough one. The MWDA head looks like it was pulled off a Black Knight but the original looks doofy. Maybe it's just the reflection giving the "eyes" pupils but it looks like "Duuaahh, I'm here to fight boss" The gas masks for the DA style don't do it for me either. Knowing you'd make it right, I'd have to pick old style.

I like the head on your art, looks mostly like the original

Taylor Shead

The OG head always felt a bit too broad to me, like it's just sticking out of the torso instead of being incorporated in it. The MWDA head has really slick slopes that when combo'ed with the thinner visor make the mech look way more menacing while still being different from the Black Knight. I think the "gas mask filters" can also help with this in some way. I found that Kristian Borg (aka Punakettu) made an interest mix of both in his 3D Nova Cat render: https://www.deviantart.com/punakettu/art/Nova-Cat-91317314

The MWDA head just has so much more character. The one in your original sketch is not bad though. Maybe a touch more Boba Fett on the visor? Like, bring it down with a "spike" in the center?

Lexikon

I liked the head from the concept sketch more than either of these, of course the concept head looked more like 'Original Head' so I voted for that.

I think the MWDA head looks better and flows better with the broad shoulders.

I think the down slope (especially the visor being a V) gives a far more menacing feel. The nova cat needs that angular look in my opinion. Maybe the filters can go if that’s too much but the concept head for me is just too round and pronounced.

I think what you have is pretty good, though the brow could feel a bit more angular.

Mark

I'd say get rid of the gas mask filters and your good. But it's pretty good either way. I do love the fugly Nova Cat. It's just awesome in it's own way.

MechaParade

I'd keep the head on the concept sketch you've shown below!

Danny

MWDA .Change is good just to update old designs but im biasd as it reminds me of kane from robocop 2

Exactly, it's cool, but I fear we're breaking more eggs on that route. Time will tell.

Anthony Scroggins

I'm going to have to go with the Original Head. While the MWDA is cool, it looks more akin to the 3145-era Black Knight to me for some reason.

Done.

Anthony Scroggins

Done.

Anthony Scroggins

Yeah we need pics to compare.

Could you put up pictures so we know what to compare? I'm new here and don't know to what you are referring

Michael Cohen

What’s MWDA?
