Description
So after having my character designed, I needed to create a vehicle for him to use. In this case I decided to make a speeder in homage to the other sci fi games and movies like Star Wars. Since my story is a sci fi western, I gave the vehicle a head that looks like an animal of some sort, like a horse or ram. The vehicle travels by electromagnetic energy so I kept to a really circular design and the lights emitted complement the glow-light from his eyes.My initial silhouette designs were all done in Alchemy.

You mean this RIDON? [link]
They're both designed to be hover vehicles. However, RIDON looks designed for racing and leisure rides rather than the long journey where you have to carry large packs.

doesnt have to be. the vehicle affects the magnetic field in the immediate environment so it can travel on planets with magnetic fields like Earth.

Since the vehicle uses electromagnets to travel, it should be able to travel in any environment that has a magnetic properties like a magnetic field. The computers are encased in Mu metal which prevents it from being scrambled by all he magnetism around it.

oh lol. well in the world i am working on, magnetism is the main way of travel so most would have some sort of shielding to prevent the computers from being fried.

lol well it is a hovering vehicle so i dunno about running things over XD they do have disruptors which are stronger EMP waves so that could affect the electronics.
