Dominance War 4 War Machine- The Infinite

Tue, 26 May 2009 07:06:40 +0000

my 1st ever DW entry and i represent Gameartisans.org.
it was a fun experience and a special thanks to Michael(walrus) for all the helpful comments and criticism.

The back story:
THE INFINITE, massive mechanical engines of destruction designed for use in shock assaults and massed battles. These warmachines are one of the most heavily armed in the army arsenal of Machines. The sight of these lumbering machines trampling towards the enemy strikes fear even to the most hardened of veteran enemy soldiers.

THE INFINITE features four main supercharge energy cannon mounted on it's shoulders, secondary rail guns along its body, and various small energy arms around the construct as a system of defense against close range targets. These machines are the frontlines at smashing through enemy fortresses and is equally ideal for fighting large ranks of enemy formations on the battlefield. One can only imagine the trails of destruction it is capable of leaving behind.

Spectacular - The Journey

Mon, 12 Dec 2005 04:00:15 +0000

hie people~here's the final image i've made for the spectacular challenge,thanks to all my friends and the participants in the cgcommunity who'v helped me out.greatly appreciated
the story:
Mother Earth was a beautiful place where living being thrived,but that was another page of history since it was depleted of natural resourse and the ability to provide for the living.Where when it almost come to a breaking point that Earth cannot sustain life,humans however have but limited choice ,one of the more sensible choice,to leave Earth and to fine a new habitable planet to live in.However,the space technology was rush and wasnt perfected.Human colonies on these ''habitable'' planets looked far from being a civilised nation.though they were living quite well,they were working hard to make their new planet more Earth-like,much like what we remembered it so long ago.Though Earth has been a 'dead' planet to them,people pay homage to her by offereing the lantern of light and hope to her,as if they are moaning for their broken haven
