Just something I've been working on for a while now.

It's a fair bit better than the last thing I posted here.

Einy, Consider yourself officially outdone.

Zor

Yup. Saw it a few weeks ago. Hawt.

The best part? I can accurately say that seeing Ein's work is what got me into pixel art.

Cool. That is one huegnormousspacegun.

I'm glad you put some stuff in for scale. This is huge! Very nice work.

If I could get a job working on a relativistic cannon, I would be very happy.

Update! It now has some RCS thrusters (there are also some at the bottom, not just the ones at the top).

Linky.

I wonder what Einy thinks about having a smaller space cannon than a girl

May I assume the cannon is mounted on a space station? Otherwise, those projectiles are awfully small in comparison to the weapon's size.

There's a Freudian joke in there somewhere, I just can't find it.

The cannon is a space station unto itself.

Otherwise, those projectiles are awfully small in comparison to the weapon's size.

Remember that when you're dealing relatavistic velocities, even tin cans can become megaton range bombs. Those projectiles are as big as a house.

Ultimately, I'd think that most of the cannon's mass is in engines in order to counter the incredible recoil.

Well, since I'm working on more than one thing at this time, I decided to just re-name this thread and stick all my artsy stuff in here instead of just making a thread for every project I'm working on. Most notable among my non-huegnormousspacegun projects is this, a modern-day battleship.



As you can see, it's still a work in progress, so any feedback people might have is nice. Also, it's currently lacking a name. Thoughts?

I can't wait for the completed image, RRoan

Minor update.

Well, one of my numerous side projects is a Pluto SLAM ripoff.



Not much to show so far, but I want to be sure of all the details before I get to the shading. Chief amongst those details being how it deployed nukes. I know that it could drop multiple nuclear devices, but from my research I haven't been able to figure out how it was supposed to go about doing so, the location of said systems, etc. Help would be appreciated.

I think it launched its submunitions from its dorsal side... if I recall that documentary right.

The battleship is off to a good start. I didn't notice any funnels, though. Is it nuclear-powered?

This site, from the company that actually developed the SLAM, should provide the answers you want.

Well, I haven't updated this in quite a while, both because of lack of inspiration and because real-life concerns have kept me away from a computer for a while. Anyways, I decided to redo the reactor, since it was pitifully small. Now it's not.

Since it's still heavily WIP, there's lots of wasted white space. You have been warned.

Tasty stuff.

Well, I've got a fairly major update on the battleship.



Thoughts?

You probably guessed already that if I posted in this thread there's an update. Well, you'd be right. I got rid of the shading until I can be assed to do it right, I redid the helicopter (I kept in the old one to show the difference), added a UAV, and started getting into the detailing.



I also switched to photobucket and I'm really loving how you can arrange your pictures.

The devil is in the details and mang, from the big guns to the CIWS to the safety rails to the cruise missile launchers to the anchors!

RRoan!

Not planning on shading it. Feel free to use it, although it's always nice to credit the artist.

More updates to the battleship.

And one with all the stuff tacked on:


Note the guy on the bow for scale.

I love it. Great detail work, RRoan.
