crits are more than wealcome.

Nice stuff, Its not very noticable. Good job. I like that metallic look. what's a steampunk anway?:confused:

[ODIN SIX]

Lono, I like it..... It would better with an enviroment

Awsome job... I'm still learning Painter so it hard for me too
get my stuff to look like that..

[sparth]

very nice lono.
you have that very smooth and clean rendering, concentrating on special details without altering the whole thing.
i really have to look hard in order to find any perspective problems.
that vehicle looks a bit like a funny animal too, because of these eyes and mouth on that round copper fuel thingie.

bravo! :>

Except for the few minor(and not important IMO) perspective errors, this thing is just beautifully rendered, and looks like something that could've been made once upon a time.

For some reason it makes me think about the machines used in Wild Wild West(the movie with Will Smith).

Probably similar to the concept art they had for that movie.

Very very nice indeed.

I've always had problems drawing vehicles.... :(

iwasink: Cool man, thanks. Steampunk is a genre i guess. there are some steampunk comics and rpg's out there i think. its basically an alternate future where most of the technology is steam powered. so you get to mix periods. really high tech looking stuff with a 1900's twist to it.

ODIN SIX: thanks man. actually,,, would you believe this one was done completely in photoshop? the photoshop paint brush isnt too bad.. nowhere near as good as painter brushes though.

sparth: hey thanks! yah it does look like a critter of some kind. sorta resembles a snail. hah. imagine the chair is his head, and the tank his shell area, and the cow pusher his foot.
hah.

davi: thanks Davirino! and its so sweet of you to give that one to me twice. UH,,, double up, UH,, UH!

¤ N G ¤: great! thanks. i never saw that movie, but i remember the trailers. the vehicles looked like the only good reason to see that movie. and keven Kline.

Living Rope: Thanks ROPE! took about 2 days once i got the design hammered out. thats what took the longest. i had to do a little bit of brain training to visualize something this technical.

Congrat.Lono!
This is pure success,I love your design and how you
render it.Is there some project behind it,like comic or
game?

[FrailFreak]

Me likes it! I also like the textures you used,especially the pounded metal effect. But there's something.....well, not sure,..but there are some areas where you used lines to pop out certain areas,and some parts you didn't...and I think it'd be more consistent if you chose one way or the other,cause the area's you didn't pop out seem a bit flat.Like the area around the copper tank, where the tubes stick out of it?....

[Makafui]

lookin awesome dude!

[cotron]

looks nice man, definite fit for those lousy steam punks. if i knew what those were. i like the texture and feel i get from it.nice color choices too

[Lono]

Loga4: thanks man. no real project,, just an art test sorta thing for a game company. i was asked to proove my abilitys in the vehicle area.

FrailFreak: hey thanks. your right about the lines. ill fix it. i really sped through this thing. thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Makafui: Thanks duder!

cotron: sweet. im glad the colors and textures are going over well. i wanted to keep things a bit subtle without it looking bland.
Thanks!
