I did a little sketch ages ago of WingBlade with a cool booster, ala Mospeada, that transforms into a plucky little giant robot with lots of guns and missiles.

I blew the image up with my scanner and went over it again with my sharpie farm.
I thought it turned out as a cute little graphic.

WingBlade Interior, since my story has a fair few scenes set in it:

PS: I know there's an intermittent problem loading large images; maybe only PNGs, at the moment.
I have my hosts working hard on another matter just now and once that's concluded, I'll bring it up with them.

Some booster packs to make the EDF fighters more useful against the Alliance:

I drew these up mainly as concepts for Multiplayer ships but one also comes in useful in the side-story.


Edit: Just a little PS; I spoke with Krystal hosting and the problem with loading big PNG files is solved.
The hosting has a Cloudflare-style caching and optimisation system called Cachewall, the current version of which causes an issue with loading big images.
I turned it off for now and I'll try re-enabling it in a month's time when hopefully a fix will have been released and applied.

Here's some random stuff, pulled together from my notepad; most of it having something to do with X-Bomber the Game:

New Chicago City

Post by Crash »

New Chicago City is a beautiful and dangerous off-world mining colony with a major (organised and disorganised) crime problem.

It was the setting for a G-Police-style game that I began to make with some online friends, while at school ...
The ship would have had a 3DoF ground-attack mode where it circle-strafed like Descent's Pyro GX and a fast "escape" mode where it would have flown like the ship from Fury3.

Predictably, the project never lived beyond a couple of small prototypes but the location and the ship made their way into X-Bomber the Game's overall premise.

I drew this the-summer-before-last but, health being what it is, I never finished and scanned it until now.

I tweaked a bit, re-scanned and then re-jigged in Photoshop my little plan of WingBlade's interior.

Gonna be doing a bit more on this stuff before long ...
