Description
this is the colored version. the shaped was based on several ideas. the front was based on the russian assault helicopter hind mi-24. the rest was looking at various sci-fi books, magazines, etc. the camouflage originated from WW2 german paratroopers.it was done with pencils and photoshop. please let me know how i can improve this. thanx!Related content

sorry, i don't know what Phantom Crash is. i just created it from my imagination. thanks for the comment, not too many people comment about my old artwork, lol.

Phantom Crash is a game with giant fighting robots, and the reason I asked is because you listed a maker and a class, which are two characteristics mentioned in that game.

ah, interesting...purely coincidental,lol.

You should check out the game Echelon, it's a great source of inspiration, and some of the airships resemble this one.
My one critique would be towards the details. Yes, you do have a lot of them, but I note one glaring error. Are the pilots smarter in the future or something? Where are their warning labels.
'No-step' 'danger'...etc.
Actually, it's not a glaring error, so much as something you simply never included.
Try out adding some warning labels and see how it works out for you.
Great job on the coloring, the one aspect I still suck at

you're right! i wanted to make more labels. putting them is one of the last things i do, but by the time i got to it, my computer was running painfully, painfully slow. i just decided to just leave it. the labels would be on if my computer processed data just a little bit faster, haha....but yeah, you're right. thanks!

(..that's odd...my account say 'no messages', and you replied to my comment...)
Slow? Why would your computer run slow?
I think it's time to upgrade.

odd, dunno. i'm using a laptop to do my creations and the file was big, i need more RAM(argh!). yes, need upgrade.

I can even see a reference to a game called "Echelon.' Nice work 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
actually, sorry, i don't know that game. the original design was supposed have legs like a bird, but i shortened it b'cuz it couldn't fit on the paper. the human scale was supposed to be smaller so that it could hold the pilot in the canopy and the gunner in the nose turret, but at the last moment i completely changed the scale.
anyway, thanx. i try to get input from others so i can improve in the final artwork.

I really like the colour choices, it makes it look futristic and more gritty modern at the same time.

hehe...a thought comes to mind
"we got independently targetting laser phalanx,we got nukes, we got knives, we got big guns, sharp sticks..."
but anyways... all the details lokk in order///it even is believable..i admire ur knowledge of weaponry...
128 mm smoothbore wow....chobham? isnt dat what they used on the Abrams?

Seikai!!...as usual, you are correct. one of my instructors at training was an m1 abrams tank driver, and he would go on about how good it is, but...a russian t-90 can give the m-1 a run for its money.
btw, good aliens quote...

nani???!!!! blasphemy!!!!!hehe.....im partial to the abrams....but yeah, u could be right....the t-90 has an 125 mm cannon but i think the m-1 would shoot first..

wow.. this is really impressive, have you ever thought about submitting them to some publishing houses or makers of RPG's? who knows, maybe they could actually get something published that you could put on a resume? Just a thought.

wow, thanx. your suggestion is something to really think about, i still think i need some practice though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you've got skills, the work that I see is clean and well thought out. I suppose the only suggestion I would have is to bump up the resolution.. then really go over it with a fine tooth comb, getting rid of any distortions or haze that comes from the process of colorizing it with photoshop. I only put that forward because that is something I need to work on as well. I'm giving thought to cell shading/painting or similar processes to give it that really slick proffessional look. Not sure where to start, but as soon as I do I'll pass info on.

just like you, i would like to reach that slick look. one thing i do is reduce the image and look at it "at a distance" to see if the whole composition is good. then i zoom in close to erase those unwanted pixels. i also play a lot with the contrast/brightness adjustment. it seems i can never get the "perfect" creation. i guess every artist feels as frustrated as i do.

absolutely. I know exactly how that goes. For a long time I've been shooting for a that slick, clean look. Ive seen some proffessional anime guys pull it off, that was why I was thinking about trying cell shading next. I'm currently taking a painting class.. with.. rather mixed results (I think they kinda suck.. but people tell me its ok.) I work alot with Acrylic.. but my main reason for doing this is to get to where I could cell shade my work and make it look proffessional. still have a ways to go.. by the way, I love the shadow work on your machines... it lends it a three dimensional look that I haven't mastered yet.

I need to learn how to do that, for applying shadows and contrast.

OUTSTANDING, Pvt. Shasiel!
Can you believe on average I and my battle buddies had to do around 100 push-ups a day when I was at boot camp and advance training, along with other physical training, some for exercise but most for punishment. In training classes some poor fools had to do over 500+ push-ups(but they were given like a week to do it). Ah, those were the days...

... Kinda the same for cadet officer training during the CAT days. We would usually do a hundred a day aswell plus other forms of exercises as punishment but mostly exercise.

aah, that's ok, that was interesting and humorous.
