DSG 405: Vehicle: Terraforming Machine

[dsg bot]

Today's topic is: Vehicle: Terraforming Machine

[SlugMan]

I coulda sworn that said "transforming machine" when i clicked on it... I think i need more coffee. if i have time today, i'll try to do this one.

[Mr Man]

im half a sleep today too.
What is terraforming again:confused:
I seem to be suffering from amnesia.

[H.Evans]

terraforming= shapes/ manipulates the land to make it habitable

...i guess

[SinisteR]

You could also terraform on another planet, right?

[xbiten]

a quickie...

terra=earth. Making another planet like earth. (Like warming up Mars and introducing plants to the environment etc.) I'm sure you've seen it on Discovery some time.

edit: Hey, cool. I've made it to Swordsman with this post. :D

[JSlayer]

my terraforming vehicle uses untold spaceman magic to miraculously transform a planet. blah blah same as on aliens blah blah, nuclear reactor, blah blah shampoo science.

[xbiten]

a little out of point as it says "machine".. mine is "machines"
these are suppoesed to be little robots that work in huge groups of millions like ants, with much more efficiency cuz of size and all.. ah im lazy to make any more theories...

oh well =)

[Mr Man]

I was a bit unsure if my pic matches the title!?

I can't help but be inspired by Aliens. Alas, forgive me, this isn't a vehicle - only a machine.

looks more like a terraFARMING machine but hey.

[blarg]

Plaf, that could possible get up an move about. There ya go, vehicle :) Very neat.

I am a Recruit now, fear me. I not only have to do the level grind when I game, but now when I post, Geeesh!

[dfacto]

Shoot, I missed the vehicle part. Well here is my quick and dirty DSG anyway. Nobody knows what the G.E.C.K does anyway, so it could be some sort of vehicle...

some of you will know what I mean, and others will just have to wonder.

http://img6.photobucket.com/albums/v19/dfunkt/405_copy.jpg

Plaf, and Village Idiot- very cool

[JörgenGiftmördaren]

damn it dfacto, im sitting here thinking im gonna draw a g.e.c.k and like five seconds later you pic loads :D

[jermainevl]

Damn it! I just had to know what the hell a g.e.c.k. is and I immediately looked it up in google. It's a pretty good idea.

:chug: Cheers from the ...Swordsman!....Oh yeah...

[Gumdrop]

Arrhh... no time today... even for comments, but some real sweet stuff (village idiot, plaf & Tenelaus) on show. Keep it real guys!

[JABAJAWOOLU]

well i too needed to find out what a GECK was. very very interesting idea. too elaborate to explain here. for those interesting try this PDF (http://www.vault52.net/geck/files/Enclave_2_2.pdf)

when u get it up hit CTRL + F and type in "Terraform." that should take you to the GECK.
pretty kool. this in itself should be a DSG topic lol. great work guys. great to see ur stuff again VI.

unfortunately i cannot post any drawings for a few days. gf and i are on the outs and i dont have access to a comp that i can draw on or scan from. anyhow. laptop should be in in a few days. till then keep up the good work.

[H.Evans]

There is a fleet of these unmanned probes that constantly fly around the planet spraying a mixture of moisture producing microbes and seeds which have been genetically modified to grow in severely harsh conditions. Once the seed grows into a plant (something which happens roughly once for every five hundred thousand seeds planted), it will begin to produce oxygen. Scientists estimate the atmosphere will be fit for human habitation in twelve to fifteen years.

[SlugMan]

i don't like mine at all, but since i got my wacom working the way it's supposed, i spent more time doodling with it before i got started on this, thus i ran out of time. but oh well, i'm getting more used to my wacom. who knew u needed software? :rolleyes:

[tumbra]

I'll have to post later. I'm not at home so I have to use a mouse instead of my tablet.

[shadoman]

Hmmm terraforming machine.... Well, mine is a mechanical bee that can carry life-growing pollen throughout a planet to fertilize the soil with artificial vegetation.

I finally just got my first tablet today!!! Yeah!!!! So this is more of a testing of colors and handling.

About 1 hour in Painter.

Villiage Idiot - That is very, very nice!! The colors and lighting are very dramatic and I just love the details in the legs.
Tenelaus - Dude that is creepy. Good job.
plaf - Oh man. That lighting is crazy! Yeah, very Aliens, but hell, what a great movie for inspiration.
Okelvin - Futuristic crop-dusters. Great colors and story too.

[H.Evans]

fixed it... p.i.t.a.!

[eljay]

This thing would probly have a hard time "Terraforming" , but ... What the hell?

I'm not done yet but i was afraid I wouldn't get in time for the deadline so here's the start - there's gona be a machine in the trees but it's not yet complete - to be updated later

[Shelldragon]

annnd here's the finished thing, just in time i think http://gallery.cybertarp.com/albums/userpics/10594/forest%20mecha.jpg

[Calle_]

Redships, What pen do u use when u get that brownish/purple color ?

Good job to all!

[redships]

Calle_ it's prismacolor verithin. i use black, grey ( 70% ), red, purple they have alot of different colors. the one i used on this one was brown. you can pickthem up at nearly any art store or some office supply stores. try it out i think you'll dig em.

[auden100]

I feel pretty good about this one. VI inspired me a bit with his warm color, but I wanted to contrast it with something cooler.

Finally, I did another DSG. They may come few and far between this quarter... I have a LOT of art stuff happening all at once.

Late on this one, but I liked the topic so much that I had to tackle it when I got some free time.

It uses pre-existing ground material to power itself via fusion reactor. Biomechanical "roots" grow from it and embed into the ground. Once deeply rooted, it alters the atomic makeup of the topsoil to be compatible with Earth vegitation, while also altering the atmosphere to sustain human life. (hmm, maybe I should have made it look more "tree-like"...)

Once completed with an area, it can, by means of it's roots, crawl along the surface to work on the next area. (making it a vehicle...I hope...) It moves and works slowly, but millions or billions of them can be dropped onto the planet's surface, rendering it habitable by humans in only a few decades.

Which will of course piss off the natives, leading to interstellar war for great justice. Launch ZIG!
