Description
“The Olmech” is a kind of anti-grav tank that utilizes omnidirectional drive to aim its gun.Definitely one of the more interesting concepts I've taken on for this RPG...!

I agree.

Haha thanks. I'm still pretty ambivalent about this one, but I did my best to follow the prompt the client gave me.

Hahah well, there's always that give or take when working with clients ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But, viewing this from a third-party standpoint, it's an impressive visual and a very cool idea behind it.

Thanks~
Uniqueness > Mainstream Appeal is certainly my jam (though it would be nice to have BOTH??!)

Definitely one of my weirder design challenges.

jfc look at the dETAILS On this thing!! !!! !
also the face-but-sorta-not-a-face is a really cool concept, and you can really imagine how the whole thing would swivel to turn that giant honkin' turret, hehehe

Whole lotta copy-paste-Transform. XD
I guess... it was a tough one to conceptualize (though I've seen a few real-life robots that use omnidirectional steer and it looks weird asf)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcZJA3… ehhh... I can't seem to find any good examples (I remember going to a competitive robot fighting show once and there was one using omnidirectional steering that could zip around quite fast)

Very apprppriate name! Feel the power of the old Mexican gods

Yep! I believe the lore calls for the Olmech to be made of stone armor (hence the lack of rivets).

Ahnnnn okies then! Awesome

Some manner of Meso-American inspiration, yes...!

So cool! Can i ask what software you used, the linework and shading are amazing.

Thanks.
The illustration was done on Photoshop CS5, using an Intuos4 drawing tablet. The rough 3-D modeling was done on Google Sketchup 8.

Amazing line work, simply amazing.

Looks like something from Stanislaw Lem's Robot Fairy-tales!

Haha, I had to look it up, but I can see where you'd derive that notion.

Fantastic, it truly oozing with awesomeness.
Must always have a mean angry face in a tank to make it go 11.

Still has that new tank smell.
Haha maybe. I know that artillery crews open their mouths when firing to avoid hurting themselves, so...

It's almost like a tank meant for Rayman.

Haha, it was hard NOT to think about Rayman while working on this.
(though I can think of some other early pre-rendered 3D characters like Vectorman and a couple more from Bomberman 64) but Rayman is the most enduring example.

Oh you know it~ the layer with the fairy dust is called "glitter"

That name, ha ha...!
I like the tracks you put beneath it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, that name.
I realized I needed to show off the steering abilities somehow, so I looked up "cars doing donuts" to find some track textures... XD;

Apparently someone saw fit to do a photoshoot of a muscle car doing donuts around the Randy's Donuts shop. XD I... dunno...
