scifyitank 01

A science fiction tank that started out life as a star wars inspired bounty hunting vehicle but gradually became more tank like as life went on and I became less enamoured with star wars later inspirations includes attack helicopter canopy, mobile workers from gundam iron blooded orphans designed by Kenji Teraoka and the shamblo mobile armour Hajime Katoki. The idea was originally for a high speed chariot like vehicle but having swaped out oversized wheels for tracks it might not be as fast as it could have been but its now a more complete designee armed with a laser cannon and 6 rack anti armour/bunker buster missile launcher and hull mounted turrets.

The unit the tank belongs to is the fictional 3rd mars armoured division and displays thair yellow and black skull emblem with thair motto "Smile your troubles are over" the initial designee of the emblem was for an all yellow skull but my custom alpha malfunctioned and refused to work so i made do with a pre existing skull and crossbones erased the parts i didn't need and filled the black underneath.
modelling was a challenge as this is another one of my old files i dug up and found a lot of floating geometry around the canopy and cockpit that had to be addressed.

hardest bit was figuring out opacity maps and getting them out of substance painter. it took longer than i expected but i got thair in the end.
