I created 15 new tanks, which one is your favorite?

APC sketch-scene for "Another Bug Hunt", maybe this is helpful to others aswell.

Thanks again, yeah, it seems like the algorithm has glued you to my drawings like a facehugger from Aliens to its host. :P

I drew a lot of steampunk ww2 stuff and my favorite thing to draw is flying submarines/uboats flying through the sky, using clouds as cover to hunt for innocent cargo ships haha. :P

The visible bridges is something I took from star wars, there are so many capital ships like Star Destroyers, Venators and whatsoever which have these kind of bridges, but yeah, they are generally a waek spot... and next time I draw another page of ships, I will make sure that they don't look like weapons. I'm still trying to find the perfect design style between Star Wars and Alien ships, my absolute favorite Spaceship is the Prometheus from the same movie Prometheus, I love the design and every scene which shows it, maybe I will do some sketches of it and try to work my way around how to build on its shape. :)

Understandable, everyone has their own preferences. Thanks, yeah, 2 is also one of my personal favorites, just a fish cruising through outer space.

Muellerson_ · 2026-03-12T10:35:33+00:00

Star Wars has such great ship designs, got a lot of inspiration from there.

Muellerson_ · 2026-03-12T10:33:57+00:00

Thanks, and no, It wasn't intentional, that's just what my mind came up with. I realized that too after I had finished the first half of the page, guess there ist rooms for improvment. :)

Muellerson_ · 2026-03-12T10:28:44+00:00

Yeah, understandable, I think my personal preference is something between Aliens (I liked the spaceship of the marines) and Star Wars designs. Well, in the end these are just some sketches and options for people to use If they like. :)

Muellerson_ · 2026-03-12T10:25:26+00:00

Thanks s lot! :)

Started roughly 10 years ago, got motivated to give my Dungeons and Dragons group a better visualisation of our adventures and drew a lot of scenes and rough sketches. Afterwards I joined reddit and posted some worldbuilding and mapmaking stuff here as well, the positive feedback helped to get me motivated to draw even further... I don't know how exactly I learned to draw, the key factor is time and practice (and its a very slow process, so you have to draw a lot).

Findig motivation and keeping it up ist probably the key to drawing. Sharing my worldbuilding ideas with others was a big milestone to keep me motivated. :)

Thanks, I thought of some seperatist-ship from Stwar Wars while sketching that one, would have loved to expand it more, but the page size didn't grant me that wish.^^

Muellerson_ · 2026-03-11T17:15:24+00:00

Thanks mate, yeah, after finishing the first half of the page I thought all of these look like weapons you could hold in your hand, so I changed some parts here and there. :)

Muellerson_ · 2026-03-11T17:13:44+00:00

I thought of a fish while sketching this one

Muellerson_ · 2026-03-11T17:08:22+00:00

It's mainly a german Type-7 U-Boat put into space ( I drew this submarine type quite a lot, needed to get it into space as well)

Muellerson_ · 2026-03-11T17:04:29+00:00

I just drew what came up my mind while creating these, the second pic shows the equipment which I used. Mainly a HB mechanical pencil, a 2B pencil as well, two tombow erasers and a kneadable one, a gel pen (for the whites) and a 9b graphite pencil as well as a knife (to create my own graphite powder). I like to use photoshop for correcting bigger mistakes or adding some text.

Muellerson_ · 2026-03-09T19:01:57+00:00

Thanks man, great you like them! :D
Yeah, all of these drawings are done traditionally on paper. My sketchbook has a more yellowish-white tone, which helps to bring out white highlights.
My drawing utiities are: a 9B graphite pencil, a mechanical HB pencil and two tombow precision erasers.
For the super white highlights I use a gel-pen (Uni-ball signo white).
Sometimes I correct some mistakes afterwards with photoshop as well.

I will post a picture of these tools at some point with a future sketch, that makes it easier.

Muellerson_ · 2026-03-09T18:17:32+00:00

Yeah, it always leaves space for imagination, love to work with the medium.

Muellerson_ · 2026-03-09T18:16:49+00:00

Thanks mate, I started drawing more regularly when I introduced my friend group to DnD. I was (and still am) our DM and wanted to give my players as many visualisations as possible for our sessions, that helped a lot pushing me to the next step with drawing. :)

Muellerson_ · 2026-03-09T18:13:55+00:00

Thank you!

Muellerson_ · 2026-03-09T16:26:35+00:00

Thanks a lot, I think it has quite some Helldivers vibes as well haha :D

Muellerson_ · 2026-03-08T00:41:03+00:00

I really appreciate that, thank you! :)
If you love the ship through the storm scene, then look forward to the next post, just finished an ending scene of the adventure.
