Hey Guys-
I've been waiting to post this for a while now. Westwood finally announced this unit officially, so now I can post.

This is a tank concept I did for the new "Yuri" side in the add-on. I'm pretty pleased with the presentation. I just wish I hadn't put the forward hatch on the turret, which of course wouldn't work unless the guy was going to sit on the barrel. The rolling spiky cylinder on the front would be a mine clearing device (if RA2 had mines) but it doubles as a great way to make 'road pizza' out of enemy infantry.

Anyway, see what you's think. Enjoy.

-Phil

Whee! I'm the first to reply. Great work you did with that tank. Looks really awesome. Is it a coloured marker sketch? Or all Photoshop?
I'm glad you found your way to this place. Welcome to sijun.

I already loved what you did for Nox and Emperor! And your goblin runner, you postet on Francis Forum is still my background.

Stay a while!

Hey, what filrobb did for Nox? I think the graphix in Nox is cool. Can I see some?

How long did you spend on this? Are you in Las Vegsa, or the other one?

That's the most stunning piece of Westwood concept art I've seen so far. The RA2 manual featured some nice artwork, but nothing as jawdropping as this. You've gotten a whole lot better.

Hope you visit more often. Always wanted to talk with one of RA2's graphicians eversince the game hit the stores.

Thats really nice. I like your style. Reminds me of Geoff Dwarrow(sp)'s work in Big Guy and Rusty, only you did a better job at coloring! Please post more!!

Thanks everyone for your nice comments. I didn't actually do too much work on the original RA2, just a few costume designs, I was hard at work on Nox through most of RA2's dev cycle. Most of the concept art for RA2 was done by TJ Frame (www.tjframe.com), a very talented colleague at WWP, you can link to his site from mine, and it is well worth your time. On Yuri's Revenge I got to do a bit more contributing...anyway, thanks again.
