Long time, no pixel.

Just putting this up so I can have some crits on it for when I have time to work on this baby again.

(lines where done long time ago, I think I posted them in the Lines Den.)

I don't think I need to explain what is finished and what's still WIP. Again, C&C appreciated.

It's all pixelled very well, i think. I'm not going to make the obvious comment that the tracks and wheels need to be textured and shaded.

Detail Suggestions:
Add some MG, and maybe an antenna.

Physics:
I think if this tank would be driving uphill, it would fall on its back, so i suggest extending the base, so the weight gets distributed a little more believable.

You just did!

this is nicely shaded mr penquin, however i dont like teh
overall anatomy of it. it seems top heavy and the 2 sections dont
really seemed joined. perhaps add a few more details aswell, ie mud
and dirt and paint, and blood

And while we're at it, some limbs from various undefined creatures hanging out from the wheels and tracks would be nice too.

Let's keep it constructive.

Didn't add blood because I don't like gore all that much.

better but i still thinks it needs a slightly wider base than top, its almost square.

(The suggestion with the limbs was just a joke.)

Another option(if you don't want to extend the base) would be to add some very heavy and huge counterweight to the frontside, but that might look silly.

That MG looks cool.

Is this different from a regular tank? Because I always pictured the top revolving gun portion to be smaller than the rest of the tank.

:P Either way, I think it's coming through well. I'd suggest making the wheels move and making it shoot for fun. :)
