Figuratively speaking, anyways. Well, not really, but it feels that way, now that I've finally had some time this past week to work on some new concepts for the Jade Moon story, after a self-imposed break to try and (slowly, painfully) learn SilverLight, Microsoft's Flash-killer (lots of nice features like built-in video and true 3D support; a slick GUI-based tool called Blend that can easily overwhelm newcomers with the sheer number of options available, and a steep learning curve). I like Silverlight, and I'm looking forward to slowly ramping up my skills in it, XAML and C#, but I missed doing concept art.
Any how, enough with the whining. The first one is a concept for a medium tank. It started off as an idea for a heavy tank, with hydraulic lifts to raise the wheels off the ground, similar to the seige tank in Starcraft (I'll probably explore that at a later date). I had an absolute blast drawing this one.
The second one is an early attempt at a truck design for the research team that first lands on the jade moon. Not too happy with it yet, but it looks better scanned in than it did on paper. Not sure why.
And finally, just a random airborne ship inspired by a drawing in ImagineFX, the UK magazine for hobbyist artists. This one looked better on paper. The design's a little conventional, which is the perfect excuse for me to do some research on WWII submarines and ships 
. And then, draw them . Lots of them.
