My Art Options

[AZZKIKR]

Remember this?



Now it is made more bad-asser, with more detail.



Lore:

“The Russians had these principles to pick up the best type of machine wherever they could get it; to have only very few types; to construct the type as simply as possible; and then to produce these types in large quantities”
- General Fridolin Senger und Etterlin, commander of the 17th Panzer Division in the winter of 1942-43.

With a name like “behemoth”, the Russian superheavy tank developed by the Omsk machine plant is a terrifying weapons platform; and is the largest ever production heavy tank ever created, and no other equivalent has been created by any other faction. This monstrosity of a machine, is armed with a powerful 152mm main gun, which is stronger than weapons of lesser tanks. Additionally, it is armed with a coaxial 30mm cannon, 4 turret-mounted missiles, and a heavy commander controlled 14.5mm heavy machine gun. This makes the T-125 Behemoth a feared weapon on the battlefield. The crumbling of soil underneath the Behemoth’s hooked threads is enough to send shivers down the spine of even a veteran, be they American or Chinese. They know that they would have to employ all their resources to knock it out.

The Behemoth is now a vital tool is Russia’s propaganda efforts. Pictures of it slamming through walls in mass divisions bringing down everything are enough to evoke a sense of patriotism. However, this is mere propaganda. The 15-layer titanium armour, heavy weaponry makes the Behemoth incredibly expensive, and slow. Nonetheless, the Behemoth is the strength of the Russian army, for it is usually said to be the modern equivalent of the much feared German WW2 Tiger 2, one capable of destroying many opponents before being destroyed itself.

It's beastly alright. Interesting date as well - you made a couple of references to WWII, so is it supposed to exist in this timeline? If so, it shouldn't have 30mm cannons and missiles as these are post-war innovations. Plus where are the other four missiles if it has eight?
While you've carried off the general feel of a Russian tank very well, with a nice round turret and a heavy chassis, there are a couple of design questions as well. The spikes on the front seem very unrealistic and quite implausible. Also the autoloader protrusion out of the back of the turret is a nice design touch but seems too large, as they can normally fit the autoloader inside the turret, and even given the fact that the gun is artillery calibre the tank has been scaled up to match. I'm not saying get rid of it but it does seem a tad large, and the detailing is good but it could probably do with a bit more.
All in all good stuff - like I said, the general feel is great, just a few things here and there.

[AZZKIKR]

not so. A future war, with the russians contrasting it to WW2, RA2 style. This is to explain the multi-use of the Behemoth, as an all weapon's platform.

The design is loosely based on Western tanks, with the overhang, to reduce stress on the turret mounts.

Editted lore.

The barrel of the cannon does indeed look short.

[CommanderJB]

The design is loosely based on Western tanks, with the overhang, to reduce stress on the turret mounts.

If I might ask, how does a gigantic protrusion to the rear (which I will assume is heavily armoured since it contains vital parts of the ammunition supply and all) reduce stress on the mount? It almost looks like it's going to make the turret tip backwards at the moment.

[AZZKIKR]

it balances the weight of the mighty gun. I editted the length of the protrusion.



and Zeus Tank WIP

[pirate]

your moddeling skills are vastly improving however I suggest that before screenshotting it, making all opjects the same color, preferably white or grey or give all objects or give your objects a basic white or grey skin on top of that to get a nice edge effect

[AZZKIKR]

new behemoth, with something on front.

Editted lore slightly

Bump;

New Tesla Tank



MBT



BEHEMOTH!!!



Note: all are wip

[scope]

That behemoth certainly looks better proportioned! Nice job. Kudos on the Tesla tank as well. As for that MBT, I like the idea of a dual turret (at least it looks so but those side cannons look like an after-thought. Ditch them I'd say for something more interesting like a metal storm grenade launcher.

[AZZKIKR]

Oh look!

[AZZKIKR]

Bump.

A BTR-100.



Well, i need opinions. shud i choose the mada flaka or the btr as russian vehicle?

[AZZKIKR]

triple post!

T-116 , replaces pskov. essentially a twin barrelled T-95


Updated BTR


TOS-2 WIP

[scope]

The turret on that T-116 looks daftly tiny I daresay and the treads seem too large compared to the body as a whole.

[AZZKIKR]

well, the T-95 turret is unmanned, so there's no need to be big. in fact, i based it on this

[scope]

I'd say it still needs a bit more size. It has to do with proportion. Maybe if the tank's profile was overall lower and sleeker it would look better?

[AZZKIKR]

alrite then. i increased size of turret

[AZZKIKR]

my first ever drawing of a plane

[Destiny]

That's one too many rivets don't you think? Looks like a makeshift plane, though. Try to refine it a little, I'm sure it'll turn out good. Nose-mounted intakes are old, underslung or side ones look better, really. At least you wouldn't have bullets flying into your propulsion, yes?

[Waris]

I have a feeling it is meant to look like an early Cold War piece. Nice drawing nonetheless.

[AZZKIKR]

well actually, i suck in drawing planes. this was an idea for an interceptor, where everything was designed to be as streamlined as possible. something russian-ish that can mass produce

[CommanderJB]

There was actually a real MiG-9, and it looked quite similar, though canards were something of a later invention and it had no missiles. A minor note; the compressor blades in jet engines were never right at the nose even in designs with a nose intake; rather the engine itself is usually well to the rear of the fighter in order to allow enough room to get a pilot and systems in. The MiG-9 also had a rather monstrous 37mm cannon in the middle of the intake as its designing feature if you wanted to take an interesting weapon from real life. Regardless, not bad, but I'd say to work on keeping your lines straight on the inside especially, though the exterior shape is generally good. Nice nose decals.

[AZZKIKR]

a better T-116.Armed with a 135mm gun and coaxial 30mm grenade launcher on a small unmanned turret

[AZZKIKR]

double post

A desolator vehicle but is essentially a fog machine on steroids

[scope]

That T-116 looks much improved I like the new Turret. And that Desolator seems good too. Not sure exactly how it works...
