Freight rocket Neon Navikea

Typical dry cargo freighter designed to service colonies without extensive spacing infrastructure. The engine, as insane as it sounds, is a real though somewhat tenuous proposal from NASA: NTRS.NASA.GOV/CITATIONS/19930015551 NTRS.NASA.GOV/CITATIONS/19920001892 DOI.ORG/10.2514/3.29778 DOI.ORG/10.2514/6.1991-3512

Batmobile, 1889 edition

drawing cars is difficult but kinda fun

In the early 1970s, prior to the involvement of either the Anodyne Corporation or the National Park Service, exploration of the Mystery Flesh Pit was a crude and arduous exercise undertaken by local agriculture & oil field workers. These young men, many of whom possessed no formal training in caving, improvised a variety of methods to aid in these early missions of discovery. An early attempt to mechanize the task of crawling through the viscera of the fleshscape took the form of field modified work trucks. Like the surviving GMC C/K truck shown here (formerly on display within the Upper Visitor Center), these jury-rigged vehicles lacked standardized designs and were highly experimental in nature. Though lacking the safety and articulation features common to later purpose-built machines such as the Grumman-produced Internal Anatomy Vehicle, these simple trucks were relatively instrumental in early exploration efforts to survey the Permian Basin Superorganism, with two or three surviving in service well into the 1980s.

Custom vehicle design for the Dark Krakens. Flying-squid inspired!

Town square in the Valley of Two Sky River, as the locals converge on a great machine from across the Kiln desert; the vanguard of the Reclamation. These ‘Kilnrunners’ are part of the forward expeditionary forces of the Reclamation, and have long endurance and survivability, as well as diplomatic facilities.

LMAO Hank

@blueskyminis has a new truck, based on concept art by me! This was so much fun it inspired a whole month of truck sketches lol. And the final sculpt looks phenomenal!

Vehicle design from my concept class -- it's a tram line for mermaids, with a solarpunk/magic flare! featuring the driver, Flip, who's just here while he waits for his big break

Development stuff under the cut!

yes this is from the world of my webcomic lol. ive hinted that the mermaids in my comic have a higher tech level compared to the humans -- heres some evidence of that, lol. easy access to magic helps a lot in civilization development, it turns out.

for inspo, i looked at a lot of modern trams/trains/etc around the world, as well as some fantasy designs (anyone else obsessed with that beautiful solarpunk chobani commercial??). I also modeled it/stole the color palette from the Dorado aka mahi-mahi fish, since it was colorful and already kind of tram-shaped 🐠

bunch of development sketches, and my turnaround sketch! trying to design vehicles that make sense and have detail give me such a headache, but this is still better than drawing pirate ships LOL. my goal with lots of the mermaid world is to make it look solarpunk/a little futuristic, but also not too sterile. im still finding that balance!

ayo I keep forgetting to upload here lol

here are some props I designed for That One Adult Scooby Doo Show That Everyone Is Angry About

The MX-89 Air Cushion Combat Vehicle, also known as the Scylla, is an attractive option for coastal nations on a budget. Its speed over land and water allows it to surveil enemy forces with ease, and its arrangement of Pilum missiles let it punch well above its weight.

Owing to its low cost, the Scylla is also a popular platform for thrifty PMCs, especially those operating in riverine and marshland terrain, where the Scylla's versatility and mobility is best put to use.

Another design commission for the Metallurgent TTRPG.

Space cruiser Tunguska Vermillion of the Vacuum Navy

The Thousand Greetings-class cruiser rockets (Sibirigo: Ис̄энбэину Ан̄юнхасо-кю сюн̄ёрокэ 'Issénbei-nu 'Ânniunhāsó-kiu Xiunnioróke [p=ʔisːɛꜜmbeinu aꜜɳːʉnħʌsoꜜcʉ ɕuɳːöɾoꜜkɛ]) are old and almost nostalgic-looking next to the austere wedge hulls of new spacecraft. They'd be long-obsolete without being gutted and filled with new equipment five times over, they've outlived almost every warship of their time and quite a few new classes. Many say they won't survive the next war between major space powers, many others counter that neither will the Earth and in the meantime they're serving just fine as the staple of power projection.

The Thousands were lucky enough to have installed the best-aging engine model to date, a massive tower of electrified pistons with a specific impulse and thrust so far above their peers that it took decades for any other tech to come close. They used to be almost torpedo-proof since little else could catch up to them. The generous nose space freed up by shrinking electronics was just enough to mount a shiny new ultra-relativistic electron beam bombard in recent years, a proof that the admiralty want it to hang around for at least a decade more.

The SSS Tunguska Vermillion (Sib. ССС Туг̄уска Вамирён Sánesu Tūngûska Vamirión [saꜜnɛsɯ tuŋːuꜜskɐ βʌmiɾʲöꜜɴ]) is the oldest Thousand still in use, being third of twelve vessels built in total. Despite the ridiculous length of one kilometer, its crew isn't any bigger than on a seagoing cruiser. Much of the space is taken up by fuel charges, heat sinks, torpedoes and armor. Only a small crew section in the center is pressurized.

Side note: all the features on this vessel are designed to work with real life physics and consulted with a bunch of people smarter than me, including actual engineers. Yes, even the nuke engine. Especially the nuke engine. It was featured on several real-life spacecraft proposals of the US government.

Also of note, the SSS Autumn Plutonia and SSS Hazel Dynamo
