This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨
Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Lol this thing would fall over any time that main gun was fired....
At least give it a "tail" that it could use to stabilize itself for firing.
Haha yeah - the design is pretty bad. There's a lot of room for improvement!
I don't think it's bad at all... It's a really interesting idea and could be really elevated thinking through the mechanics of it. I unfortunately have way too much time spent around combat machines so I can't unknow what I already know.
Yeah please don't stop refining the design... You could come up with some stabilizer mechanism or behavior for it... Like maybe it folds into a squat position for firing... Or perhaps there is some sort of staking mechanism that it deploys from its feet into the ground.
You could look at the tripod design used on mortar or artillery systems the feet on it basically use like a backwards hoof that uses the recoil from the weapon to embed in the ground and prevent push back.
Forward firing main battle guns like this are crazy powerful... There are sometimes a huge number of recoil absorbing designs incorporated into the main chassis of the vehicle as well.
Come up with a cool story for how it works and work through some of those details please... This guy is cool as shit and the actual art of it is great.
Could just jump forward, shoot, and the recoil would stop it. Theoretically :-)
