Gunships

A page of thumbnails spiraled into a series of funky looking gunships - culminating in this 5 winged weirdo seen here.

When i stepped back, the compact shape kinda felt a bit more Ikaruga than i intended.

Mono Tanks and Space Suits

Tanks!

Went down a rabbit hole in late 2017 and early 2018 figuring out fun new ways for a 'tank' to move around with a combination of hover skids and an articulated drive wheel that adds stability.

Started off with a more fun stylized alternate history WW2 feel.

Kept refining the idea and focusing on how it would operate in a transport mode while pushing the design more contemporary.

Finished up sketching a laser platform configured for road travel.

Hardsuit

I've been interested with this interlocking hard-suit design since reading Anathem and doing research on diving suits. Here was an abandoned sketch of a utility suit in a hanger ready to go weld some stuff!

Sketchwars - Backhoe / Submarine

Submersible Recovery Vehicle

This vehicle uses its 8 articulated legs with integrated impellers to propel itself into position. It can then settle to the work site and use a variaty of tools to complete the mission at hand.

 

Backhoe Loader

This modern backhoe uses mechanical muscles rather than hydraulics to cut down on moving parts and increase dependability. The wheels are slightly independent and can splay out to lower the center of gravity and act as outriggers. ​

Self-Driving Fleet Vehicle Concept

I've been wanting to put a few of my self-driving 'auto' design ideas to paper so starting with this as my test bed. These vehicles will need ways to quickly hot-swap their batteries at service bays throughout the day and communicate clearly with external users. One thing not shown here is them being covered head to toe with banner ads... but maybe next time.
