Description
For the past 3 years I've been contributing to a calendar of images drawn from the Traveller RPG. This year I submitted 2, the first of which is this one. I designed the Trepida Grav Tank for the game originally, but I hadn't modeled it in 3-D until now. Also in the scene, the Astrin APC, which I also designed. Extensive art direction was done by arcass! Thanks, man!Done in Lightwave and Photoshop. Thanks for taking a look!

May I have your permission to use this wonder Lift Cav pic on the Traveller wiki web site please?

Is the thing next to the barrel a coaxial weapon like a Z-gun or something, or is it supposed to be a sensor?

Originally it was supposed to be a coaxial weapon--I think twin VRF gauss guns?? I designed it originally in STRIKER. Then the published design was changed in editing.

Very interesting. I like how you used different helmets on these soldiers than the standard design from previous battledress renderings.

Thank you, sir. I just wish I'd had Lightwave back in the day, when I designed this tank! Would've gone much easier.

Is this for an upcoming supplement or book for the Game?
Have you thought about doing the Zho grav tank?

As an ex-tanker, I am glad to see that the Imperium's Lift Cav have carried forward bad behavior of tankers and cav of the 20th century onwards.

Just printed a copy of this and looked at this again, I am not an artist but do love art and Traveller. This is an amazing image. I think that is now my Favorite Traveller image(I'll drop arcss a note too). The angle, composition and colors are so cool but what I love best is just the plain old content!! Thanks again for sharing

I have to be honest in saying my only complaint would be the turret orientation on the right one as then it would be to the left. But other than that it's pretty damn awesome...

Great angle and design. Feel bad for the guys clinging outside though. ^^

Excellent! Always loved the Lift Infantry. Many of my Marine characters had something to do with the Duke of Regina's 5418th Lift Infantry Regiment. Such memories
