Based on concept art by Malaveldt : [link] Mike has become my favorite conceptual artist lately. His ideas and art are very inspiring. I wrote him with a request to recreate some of his stuff in 3D and received his blessing, so here's another collaborative work.Here's a "near-future" piece of light armored artillery that utilizes fairly conventional and contemporary technology in an unusual way.Modeled and rendered in 3D Studio MAX over a 6-day period. Textures were created in Photoshop and procedurally. Compositing done in Photoshop.*** COPYRIGHT 2006 Russ Schwenkler & Mike Doscher - Unauthorized duplication, publishing or re-use is strictly prohibited. ***
