DSG 1144: Fantasy Military: HARLEQUIN TANK PATROL

**William b. Hand** · November 7th, 2006, 12:09 PM

[ The "harlequin" aspect is pretty much open to your interpretation. ]

[ I suppose what qualifies as a tank could be open to interpretation, too... ]

[ Do what you need to do, of course. ]

[ Incidentally, as of tonight, I should be back online at home, which means the topic posting frequency will become far more predictable again. ]

[ Not to mention that, after a frustratingly long period of time, I'll finally be able to participate in these myself!

]

[ Okay. ]

[ Go draw stuff now. ]

A clown(harlequin) fish patrols his tank. Ugh, I give up I'm going to get some sleep.

Subvicto and GreyGhost

First time I attempted drawing a "mech". I tried to keep the perspective correct, it's a tough deal.

The Harlequin soldiers for hire are no joke, wearing face paint in combat has never deterred from their uncompromising reputation.
painter, 45?

WEEEEE!!! Brace your eyes!
This (great) topic needed some color. By the way, this was probably the only time I really had fun coloring anything! I wish it looked as good as it was fun, hah

Description: Due to their brilliant color schemes, the harlequin tank patrol often couldn't even be seen to be believed in the blistering sun.
[EDIT: Cleaned it up a tad... added birds for absolutely no reason.
Alternate description: The "Don't Ask, Don't Tell Tank Batallion" put on it's annual scout parade through the desert. ]
[[EDIT: Again, anyway...]]

^What a kind way to put it.

Aste - Maybe excess blackness - the crooked clown hat is an original move. I hope you keep participating in these.

Hamsta - Best concept I've seen from you in a long time.

After the polar caps melted the tracked tanks of old were no good for use on the rocky slopes of land that was left. Warfare was now fought over the small rivers that run through the slopes of land that remain above the sea. This is the first tank to fill that role. The Harlequin is designed to partol and engage any incoming hostile craft.
