You guys don't make this easy, 80 voters and the final count within 2 votes haha.

Here's my envisioning of an assignment to show what a well equipped Solaris mech jock might look like. Deep sponsor pockets, experimental equipment tested in arena battles.
She's got a high tech cooling suit that covers most of her body with overkill coolant tubing.
Gave her Maori/pacific styling as a call to my birth country. I've also noticed female Maori characters are almost non existent in games, so there's a checked box too.

Ye like?

I. Freaking. Love. This.

Love it. There's a nice and balanced mix of sponsorship, tech and personality with the tattoos and flight jacket. This gal must pilot a MASC energyboat with TSM for a cooling suit *that* fancy!

That's really cool! I personally think that there's not nearly as much art of pilots and stuff in Battletech as there should be.

Steve's MREs are my most favorite field ration.

Nailed it. +1 for portraying a hero in sensible shoes as well.

I always thought the arena world was named Solaris VII but even though I'm off by four planets: this looks pretty realistic to my imagination of the BT universe.

What era are you thinking that would be?

What (battletech) year are we in?

It is Solaris VII, I think Mr. Scroggins got turned around in the title.

Nailed it. Let me be the first to say I love the cooling suit, and don't care if it means an end to "Tube-top and shorts".

I think the issue is early on there was a bunch, and since then there's always been art needs for so much new content they rarely rehashed non-mech designs. This was definitely needed.

Not until after the art was done was I told it's succession wars, but this would be valid any time as the equipment is merely well made, rather than rare technology. A non mass production suit. I wanted to show a headset type neurohelm that you'd find in the Dark Age era, but was told to not be specific there.

I think a loose shirt and shorts still have a place, but well equipped units will have more than just a chest cooling rig.

I'm really excited to see modern MechWarrior art that makes them feel less cartoony. Looks fantastic!
