A level 1 sketch commissioned by a fan of the Battletech TimberWolf (Mad Cat) mech. I added a bit of my own flair to it so it looks a little different than usual.

Looks like a 'Cat III mated with a Raven. Very interesting and unique. With some tweaking it could be its own mech.

Very streamlined and sleek... and I like that you've eliminated the blocky centre-body section that just screamed "shell trap" to me for so bloody long.

Another aspect I see - and I'm wondering why I never thought about it before - is the slide-up covers on the missile pods. The original design has the LRM warheads exposed to incoming fire all the time.:no:

Oh my goodness, that is amazing! What I really like about it is how it manages to capture the style of the original Timber Wolf while still looking unique. It's an excellent redesign of a classic. In fact, I'm torn as to whether or not I like this or Shimmering-Sword's more, though I'm kinda leaning towards yours.

Hate to beat a dead horse about the whole cockpit/view panel size again, but who can anyone fail to hit this mech in the head?! that aside I do like this organic approach over the old super blocky design.

when I saw this I was like "Woah! that's a timberwolf?!" But then I was like "ya that's a timberwolf. Dummy I am." I like it, my only thought about it that COULD be percieved as negative is that do you think the nose is a bit too angle. Not trying to dismantle the piece I really like it!

Very nice, David, though I would reccomend beefing up the weapon pods on the arms, and the arms themselves. I think with the new level of art that BT has acquired and the newer understanding of mechanical designs, we can move past the tube arms typical of these kinds of 'mechs.
I really like the style of the rest of the 'mech, my only little nit-pick was with the arms. I enjoy the design regardless, so keep up the good work :)
