Hi Bud

Thanks for stopping by my SB its always nice to see you around, I am also glad you agree with my points on illustrating anything as long as you get paid.
Rather strangely some folks that I meet up with from time to time have had a go at me for "selling out for money" and that "I should stick to one thing like Monet did", That whole conversation was all so breathtakingly stupid that I could hardly get my head around what they were trying to say.
But I guess the bottom line is that "opinions are like assholes! right or wrong we all have one, but we need to remember that sticking it in someones face without warning can get you punched !!" LOL.

Kids are so opinionated these days eh!!?

stay well my mate and keep on posting, I am still around and in your corner if you need a stiff drink and someone to talk shite with!! :-)

Rapid Offensive Units!

General Systems Vehicles!

Someone has been at the Iain M. Banks culture novels again!! LOL I gotta admit I love them too.

I dont know why though I always thought of the rapid offensive units as almost submarine shaped, you know the shorter hunter killer type ones and for the life of me I couldnt tell you why!

I like the long bay too that was firmly in my head when I read excession and they were waking up warships and building drones etc. that all happened for me in long assembly bays like that.

all the best my mate, stay well and keep posting

Your work stuff is so good it's intimidating to even say it.. to put it in a lame metaphor.. it's like an adult putting something on the top shelf and a child saying "Wow!"

The sex sketches are hot too, do I wanna ask how you did those?

Ive been very remiss not answering your comments I feel shitty because i really appreciate you taking the time to have a look and leave a comment. i promise i will and thanks.

Vices thats really fucking cool of you to say man, really glad youre liking it. id hate to think you were intimidated tho, find your voice and youll get it! for the porn drawings i watched some porn and paused it aqnd sketched the frames. i think they were from one called Oh Just Keep on Fucking, starring Game of Thrones Sibil Kilkelli. (imagine how much it twisted my brain when she turned up on GoT!)

here is some tanks for a demo for class. i tried to make a really big tank as practical as i could. so keep it really low and flat so it can hide and shoot hull down style. i think it wouldnt work cos you couldnt move it or drive it down normal roads, but its just for fun so i let me off the hook there!!
see what you think. its still rough so if you see changes youd make let me know.

That tank is awesome dude, wow! It looks heavy enough to make the asphalt crumble beneath it. That Osprey/Chinook type aircraft better be up the the job.

[Velocity Kendall]

So i came online to answer everyone whos been kind enough to leave a comment, and CA is falling to pieces. I have a heavy heart. This sb is like a diary of the last 2 years, and the effect of CA, hanging ot with you guys has been huge and profound. Love you all.

Coolness VK, coolness. Been a bit out of the loop for the last couple of years (Hobbit will do that to a person!) and it is terrific to see you still so enjoying your work with a bit of looseness and obvious delight.

Steve you beast! I work A bit with steve, some sketches below these lines..

Aw, thanks! And right back at you. Also just wanted to let you know I'm not flattering you. Going through your sketchbook is a constant inspiration and you gave me the confidence to start drawing cars when I probably wouldnt have tried before. So thank you for that.

And I'm with you on the heavy heart thing. Feels like I just got comfy and started putting down some roots and this happens...

I don't know what will happen but I hope to fuck this place doesn't implode.

Hi Bud

"Lightship man youve been nothing but a positive cool influence for years man, really really means a lot."

Saw this and thought it felt like a goodbye!? not leaving are you?
because I am now haunting/ following your Facebook page as well no escape old chap! (same avatar to keep it simple!)

As for support thats one on the major cool things about this forum we all seem to support one another which can only be good. Following your work has been an absoloute joy too it makes me smile as I look through it and most of the time go wow! Cool! as well!

Even though I am miles away and about a thousand years older than you we share similar likes and interests, so if its ok with you I shall continue my support and encouragement for as long as you want or until my liver explodes for all the mis-treatment I give it

all the very best matey and may the force be with you!

P.S. I also like the idea that I can make you laugh out loud too, that really cheers me as I am a propper idiot!! just ask my Kids.

P.P.S. check out the astom martin add I posted in my SB its sublime and brilliant!

[Velocity Kendall]

Im not sure Lightship me old mate. Im going to see what happens. Ill defend CA to the hilt (I shot my mouth off in the Lounge no end on this in a rather clumsy and illconceived way..)
So I dunno mate. Id sure miss you guys.

[Lightship69]

Aw Shit I'm not having that! I aint losing another mate, end of story!

you can find me on facebook under Graham Nightingale, or E mail me, stay in touch matey I like what you do and the way you do it.
Its pretty cool to think of you as a mate even though as I said I am about a thousand years older than you and at the arse end of the country.

This community means a lot and I will be uncontrollably pissed off if it fragments because of things that are fundamentaly none of our business.

stay well mate and stay in touch.

[asa]

love the tank, but the stuff in the last post is awesome!!!

I see that you are pretty upset, I am very sorry to hear that, I don't really understand what's going on: you won't be posting on these forums or the entire site will be nuked?
What is going on, I don't understand anything?

[Velocity Kendall]

Hey man, looks like things might be ok so...

Heres some more racer toy ideas. still really rough, but my eyes are closing so i ran some off for steve (waipunga) to comment on. youre welcome to too mates. still to do: AG unit, texdtures, details, cockpit, decals, cables, badges, tune the proportions, show in flight, all sorts. but a start to work with.. see what you think

[Velocity Kendall]

[asa]

that looks awesome!!!

[Velocity Kendall]

that looks awesome!!!

thanks dawg! long way to but fun anyway!

These racers look really fun. They're supposed to roll or to hover like a WIG-craft?

Thanks dude!!
As I understand, for complicated story reasons the front petrol V8 turns a dynamo which powers an limited antigravity unit to allow it to hover, and the back engine powers the prop fans..
its a rich guys hunter racer, (and i think a rather fun metal toy..)

some quick changes to feedback, moved things, changed stuff, put a place holder rad grill in the front. I cant model well so i tend to bodge it all in and paint th rest!
i quite like how the supercharger belts look like Rex from Toy Story's eyes! kind of goofy, till you see the twin gatling canons.

[lanotdesign]

Hey, I like you SB, very unique ideas. I can see you are very busy man. You have a lot going on in your SB. no critics from me, all of your work are great man. keep it up and be an inspiration to all the artists out there.

[Quike Garcia]

It's a really funny idea. The only things I'd add are a bit more ventilation grills on the back of the main body (V8+Dynamo+Antigrav unit sounds like a really hot ensemble) or fins to make use of the speed, and a couple of big doors on the sides of the cannons to allow for ammo load, spent cases removal and, of course, colimation of both weapons.

I'm more partial to revolver cannons myself as they have no warm up time, but you cannot get more visually imposing than a good old gatling...

[kingkostas]

these are looking really cool al!!! Do you render with mental ray?

yes thats right, all default settings, its idiot proof!

I want the black racer. Looks incredibly good and I really like the BFG Tank version

[Waipunga]

Al you are an evil bastard! Now I am going to have to write a story in the Fury of Aces series with a squadron of these behemoth like armored vehicles and self propelled artillery! Damn but they are really really well done.

Yeah, those racers are wicked cool thanks man. Already have a bunch of people yelling loudly at me to get them kitted! In the 1/20 scale they would be a reasonable table top size.

[kingkostas]

hahaah this went really crazy!!!you are doing an awesome work man!!!
