Tanks

Tank assignment this week - a welcome change from character design!

After a few weeks of playing Destiny and Battlefield 4, I figured I'd like to go with a sci-fi style tank. I also wanted to follow in the footsteps of Aaron Beck again, as I love his industrial military concepts.


Here's my jumping off point:




I also did a few doodles in Photoshop, as I wanted to push myself and do as much of this assignment in the programme as possible.




I still have issues sketching out initial designs though, so I resorted to hand drawing line art and scanning/photographing it to then paint over in Photoshop.

So here is the first tank - a spider tank drone with a rail gun attached to the turret.

Final product.

I really enjoyed doing this and I taught myself a lot about layering and shading. However, when I copied and pasted the front leg to the rear I forgot to adjust the shading! A daft mistake, and one I won't make again!

And here's my second design.


Line art.


Final product.

This one is a little less futuristic, even if it is a hover tank. It's based on a Soviet Anti-Aircraft tank from the 60s - I really like the aesthetic of Soviet tanks and I'm not quite sure why.
