Carigon's mechanized sketches

I'm taking an old testement class this summer to get my religion credits out of the way (i go to a private school which has such requirements) so i have a lot of free time to doodle. here is the results of some of the work

These are just preliminary drawings to the one below... im working on my shading


Here is the final product of the sketches, that thing in the front with the circle? thats a wing that projects out (think about it like the front wing of a Formula 1 car) im rather partial to the big a$$ gun personally.


Here are the two most recent doodles, the first is a futuristic gun, thats a grenade launcher underneath the main barrel (i used DeathLegionare's (wasnt it deathlegionare?) little gun tutorial, made the basic parts and ran with it).

The tank is my fave, so even if you hate it, dont say so because i will hunt you down. (you can comment on it, after all, i want to improve on it. I promise i wont REALLY hunt you down and rip out your spleen)


Please excuse the lines, this was done at school after all

I want the bowling pin back.

And with the spaceship things... try to be realistic... the more realistic a ship is, the better... even the cannon on Spyke's Swordfish II isn't as proportionally big.

The tank is cool... although the treads look like they should be separated into a back pair and a front pair...

The gun... eh... That would be a pain to use... it's a two handed weapon... and you can't really change that because of the balance. It looks really heavy towards the front.

Don't tell me I suck... the people in my head already do that...

That gun would be pretty bad ass if it had something to like go under your shoulder to control the weight better.
I definately agree with the tank, it should be two seperate treads. It'd help with traction and stuff.

hmmm...

teh starships remind me of something. bleh, cant recall it. probably played too much starscape.

.....

i forgot what constructive thing a was going to say, but cool...

the tank is cool but... the missles...

they dont seem in the right place....

are they suppose to be anti air missles?

drawing war tools are always fun.
but since they're always out of realism, and needs enigineers to make them, and i cannot say if its physicly good or not, and if its a good weapon and i dont know if it will fire something. but pretending its an actual weapon.. i say it needs an handle and to be comfortable with it. be able to aim too.
the tank.... its biggest attack could only aim in front of , in an straight angle, with a such big thing, the projectile, with the power of propulsion, wouldnt hit the ground until it hits a tall target or doesnt have enough power to keep going straight. the tank can't hit foot soldiers probably. the litttle gun can't do much splash damage, thats the purpose of a tank no? besides destroying tough armored baddies. the anti airs misile should be placed somewhere else, when they will be launched with probably a lot of propulsion power, they will hit the tank and maybe the little gun.
you're drawing advanced guns and all, but the tank still have a basic way to move...perhaps make it hover or something? indeed, with this way it can crush persons, but when you hover you can go hunt airplanes ^_^ .
