Just thought I'd share this illustration of an armored personnel carrier (APC) that I conjured in my mind over 15 years ago! I got the idea for this vehicle when I hung out at one of my friends' house and watched as he played the video game Gears of War on his Xbox console. In the level that my friend played in particular, he was battling monsters while driving through a city street using the Armadillo APC—shown at the bottom of this Blog entry.
The adventurous concept of traveling inside an armored ground transport with your fellow soldiers while fighting alien (or even supernatural) creatures is what motivated me to come up with this APC. There are no monsters in the AI images above and below, but this vehicle being depicted driving through an eerie forest at night is meant to give this picture a somewhat ominous feel!
And as with the hybrid ship that I rendered over a week ago, these APC illustrations are based on a sketch I drew earlier today...seen directly below. The APC is meant to have six wheels, but you'll notice that only five are seen in these pictures because the vehicle is depicted from a near-frontal view, and ChatGPT would've had a tricky time rendering two gun turrets that are placed between the three wheels that would be on the port side of the vehicle. I'll probably draw another artwork of this transport showing its side profile...so you can see what I'm talking about.
If this APC existed in real life, it would have a really difficult time traveling on city streets or up narrow mountainside roads considering how wide and heavy it would be. But I don't care about practicality here; I love this APC's design! Happy Sunday.
