Back before I found the magic of DAZ Studio, or the more modern AI Art, I went to real artists and paid them to draw some of my characters. Usually Jack and Betty to start with, and if I liked the quality and cost, I asked for more. One artist I approached was the legendary MattPlog who has been making BattleTech art as long as I can remember. I was in a particularly OCD phase when I worked with him, and I ended up changing the scope of the project in the middle of the project. Bad idea. Don’t do this, kids. Do as I say now, not what I did when I was young and stupid. 😉 I did get the best version of the Texas Marine Corps uniform of Jack’s time that I have out of the project though. Plog really nailed the landing.
