'MetalMercs' | Weapons & Icons

Weapon icons and UI assets I created for 'MetalMercs', a BattleTech fan game that spun off into its own thing.

Yes, the topmost lineup is literally a Locust, Centurion, and Archer. The rightmost one was an original design, but obviously based on an Atlas.

I left production due to starting my full-time job, as well as my growing discomfort with its increased reliance on AI-generated "placeholder" art assets.
