Hammer's Slammers Commissionby *Shimmering-Sword

Digital Art / Paintings & Airbrushing / Sci-Fi

Another commission for

*MihoshiK, had a great time working on it. If you're interested in commissioning me check out my journal [link]

Here I did a redesign of Hammer's Slammers mercenary hover tanks. The tank runs on a fusion generator, which powers their lift fans and plasma weaponry.
The main gun will melt enemy armored units to slag, while the tri-barrel plasma gun on top handles point defense against infantry, aircraft, and incoming projectiles. A final defensive measure is an array of ball shot mines surrounding the tank, which can kill incoming infantry and missiles.

I tried out some matte painting for the landscape, otherwise it's all hand painted. Made in PS CS4 with a Wacom Intuos3.

Hammer's Slammers is one of my favorite book series and I was happily surprised to see this! These are great, and fit how I imagined them in my head, totally badass. Great work!

*Shimmering-Sword Mar 1, 2012

Yeah, I enjoyed giving them a more modern/futuristic look, less retro

Ok, can't believe I haven't commented on this one yet. Huge Hammer's Slammers fan (gotta build a model of one of the blowers sometime).

Love the look.

*Shimmering-Sword Feb 13, 2012

Not into the Slammers universe myself, but I did really enjoy working on this one.

Ask any artist about “emptiness&#x 201D; and they’ll tell you about the constant recurring nightmarish emptiness they must face down almost every day as a part of their vocation: the blank space that they must fill. Whether he’s a painter facing a blank canvas or she’s...
