Description DOUBLECLICK FOR BEST RESULTS!!!!

This is a Digital painted rendering I did for limited prints and in time for the upcoming Gen Con. It is of one of the assault robots that is manufactured by Northern Gun in the RIFTS setting. The line art version

:thumb392993982:

was released as sneak peak in the Rifter #62 and will be featured in the upcoming, highly anticipated, long awaited “RIFTS: Northern Gun book 1, both written by Matthew Clemens and Kevin Siembieda and published by Palladiumbooks..

Between getting NG completed, other projects and catching up on commissions, I’ve been trying some new Digital painting techniques and experiments and learning from EDSFox and Feng Zhu in uping my painting skills, so much to learn, whew.


Gunbot Combat Robot

The Gunbot is an aggressive combat machine, a weapons platform loaded down with more guns than armor. It is a “robot-hunter” like the tank-hunters of old, a bipedal cannon made for ambushing more heavily protected opponents. It has exceptional maneuverability for engaging threats. Those that are unfortunate enough to step into the Gunbot’s sights will come under fire from its ion cannon/rail gun primary weapon. Dual Mini-missile launchers (24 payload) and a heavy 3-burst variable type grenade launcher completes the package, giving the Gunbot a range of different weapons options with varying effects and engagement distances.

Model Type: NG-V47.
Class: Infantry Assault Robot.



NORTHERN GUN Cometh!!!!

digital painting is so hard. Try to keep contrasting tones, it looks softer than your sketch. The eye's always better than the skill, but i try to help.

you seem to put a simple small shield for protecting a big machine is not smart, at a time when the low is important, a number of shields the entire surface would have been more logical ... greetings.

What the... whoah, NICE!!!!


Really, really well done man. I think you went a bit overboard by using the Skull Squadron logo, but it's a cute in-joke.


It's sorta like a UFO Interceptor on legs. So clever!


Personally, I think the additional weapon over the right "shoulder" actually detracts from the design, but your mileage may vary.


Overall, though, this thing is...

In ten years you will be a Living Legend (like Elmore, BROM, etc.) and I hope I will continue to be your number one fan from South America! I am really dying to get RIFTS Northern Gun 1 and all the original art as the Ultimate Benefactor!.


I love this Robot and I really like the colors!!!

The double cockpits give it an Mi-24 Hind look.

damn bro nice design, Have you ever thought of adding Trimble sketchup to your workflow?

Thank You very much! 

After viewing your work , I am sure considering Trimble Sketchup. I downloaded Google sketch up but never started it yet.  Looks like that is about to change.

yeah it's pretty powerful and easy to use, but it has limitations. I'm making the switch slowly to blender at the moment and my experience with sketch up is making it a easier transition than diving straight in. My goal is to build a work pipeline based solely on opensource software

Would you mind letting me use the robot in a signature for a forum account on mine? I just plan on using the robot by itself (cutting it out) and making the signature. Out of respect for your art, I am asking for your permission. If so, any requirements?

Sure, np. Though I would prefer it if you could post a link to this image, but if not that's OK. Glad you like it and Thank You kindly for asking.
