Game Art Challenge #10:Tank-Russian style

#1

Im entering the contest, and would like to do a Russian style tank. Probably a mixture of T-72 and a BMP-2.

It will have one driver sticking out of the hatch, a large 130mm canon, coaxial machine guns, and a cart to carry extra ammo.

Will start working on the concept shortly.

Well after doing some research and reference scouting, I decided to try 3 different things.

One is a dual 100mm canons “Storming Vehicle”
It will also have coaxial machine gun in the back, protective armor out of oil barrels, and coupe of missels on the side.

Here is my work in progress.

I got it to 2900 polys so far, and I still have some polys to play with for the rest of the details.

Again, this is work in progress

more to come soon

Interesting, why didnt this bump the message to the front page?

your work isnt getting bumped to the first page cos for some annoying reason, the moderators have now made this forum sort its posts by creation date, rather than last post date. A way round this is to click the ‘last post’ header at the top of the page, and it sorts it like it used to. Problem is though, is that you have to do this every time!
Your work looks good by the way - nice design. I do think that the wheels are very blocky though. You should definately pump some more polys into them.

Nice design, but I’m not a big fan of the low poly wheels. they’re too low poly to look round. Also, if you need to keep them low poly, choosing an odd number instead of an even number of sides will remove symetry and make it feel more round.

Nice design, though, very solid.

Here is an update

Thanks for all the coments guys, I’m fixing as I go

I added the new wheels, skirt, .50 cal machine gun, and guided missles to the turret

This weekend will have more work to show

#8

Im going to drop this one, and enter the Grand Space Opera one. There is a good price there.

Hi!

Very good modelling, nice concept. It reminds me the Mammoth from red alert. Keep going and remember the rules of contest, especially poly count. Waiting for an update.

Best.
