sorry for double posting, something apparently got screwed up :(

[lemur]

I like nothing about my work this time, seems like its way too early to use computer. By the way any body remember Biots from Arthur C. Clarke's RAMA?

haha! Yerp Yoakum, you snapped the funny bone :blahblah:

[Hamsta]

A real live tank, the Monysian rifle beetle has an evolutionary wonder on it's back, a sophisticated biological gun, aiding in hunting and defense, and with an ability to change the make up of it's ammunition according to external changes.

Thank you, featured in my pic is my car.

75 Volvo 242, W00t! finding parts.. not woot. But still the best car Ive ever had.

After crashing their van into a coffee stand and losing a valuable stash of plutonium, the Libyans were forced to cut costs on their new vehicle...

Herbie the Gun Bug.
Used a ref for the car itself.

Good stuff all around so far!

More of a Bug Gun than a Gun Bug...

my girlfriend doesn't get it... let me know if it make sense...

[jungle]

not much of a gun bug or a bug gun but it is a bug with a gun...

I just got my WACOM tablet on Saturday and I'm trying to learn how to use it and Photoshop CS2. This is my first official post on www.conceptart.org.

Time: Approx 4 1/4 hours.

:scribble: Blue Tiger, I dont know if I get it, but I certanly think its awesome. I love that style, you should work for a dictionary company.

Is it a tazer type weapon?

[Moquan]

Blue Tiger, I assume that you squeeze the legs of the insect and it... apparently zaps, pops or shoots it's head off?

This is my dragon fly rifle with zoom scope :)
There was much more that can be done with this, but i really got into this sketch and started focusing so much. This may turn into something that I'll work with more. I really enjoy this one quite a bit.
I want to enhance the scaling effect on with some darker over lap. Also I want to get some specular highlights on the scales. What other recommendations do you guys/gals have?

[Hobbes_Maxwell]

vijil and nottingham, you two rock.

MonkeyYoakum - Glad you like it, wish it was more clear as to what it is...As far as your piece goes, I like it, I would consider changing the red-lined
sidewalk and building so that the vanishing point is much lower on the page, right now that part seems out of place with the rest

Moquan - That's pretty much what I was going for, more on the zapping side...Nice job on your first official post, good choice on color scheme, and the idea is pretty solid.

Vijil - I really dig that style, the concepts great as well.

Squeevey - Just watch out with the foreground wings blending in with the body, Also I'd suggest adding some specular to the eyes to imply a compound eye

[Flaskpost]

Pawige: Fuckin´ awesome man! I love you. :D

[dindon]

Nice concept Hobbes_Maxwell! There's one thing missing though... they're aren't any shadows on the ground!

[squeevey]

dindon - i'm guessing that his gun bug is probably in the foreground and the rest of the objects are in the background.

[dakobah20]

sorry for ressurecting this but i couldnt resist.

Well .. here's my attempt ....http://www.pgc.wired-hub.net/image_collection/gun-bug.jpg

[PGC]

mmh ... just realized that I should've cut off the bottom part of my pic. The background doesn't add anything to my gun-bug ...
