Moleskin Sketches

My favorite thing about this is the middle line art. the slanted lines make it look very fast, and also slanted armor is proved to be better for deflecting incoming fire. I really like the pentagonal windows, and the somewhat unconventional shape of the doors. also, even though the wheels and axles are exposed, the fact that they are slightly raised make it look like it could easily traverse even fairly rough terrain. It has a very 'warthog' feel, but that is very much not a bad thing, as the design is original enough that it was only after inspection that i thought "hey, that is kinda like the warthog." The turret is also pretty neat. it looks very practical, and i really like the chaff/countermeasure tubes. I would expect this thing to precede the incoming mecha and heavy armor by a good twenty or so seconds, during such time it would be zipping around firing off rounds for effect and gathering intel on enemy positions. It does not look like it could take too much of a beating, but that does not seem to be its job.

From an artistic standpoint The lineart is wonderfun, and even though the drawing is small, i feel like not much of the detail is lost in the color render. The only thing I will say is that the lines seem softer in the color render than in some of your other work. Im not sure if this was on purpose or not. I like the lines better, and the geometric flow, on the lineart. I know when I draw and then color, I Always lose the shaprness im talking about, so maybe its something in the coloring process.

Either way, fine work any way you look at it.
