The White Queen-Rook’s Pawn
Artist: Sjem
Biography: Danny
One of the White King’s great assets – even though he possesses a fallen Angel in his ranks was his belief that faith alone would not save his army and the art of both mechanoid and wizardry could always be relied upon to be great allies when administered carefully.
Hence the reason the king kept Universities that studied the mechanical and more unorthodox majical arts.
It was through these academies principled by the Queens Bishop that the flank engines were created…
Due to the massive size of mechanoid monster that is the Steam City it is slow to prime and start and is restricted in it’s movements at first. To counter this a small army of Blasters were created.
Incredibly fast initially on take off they eventually maintain a much slower speed up the battlefield.
This sudden burst of speed can surprise the enemy and give the impression that the mother ship is capable of the same acceleration.

One of these would make my commute to work a lot easier.
Another personal fave in this series for me – there’s a nice mix of technologies at play both in the contraption featured and the creation of the design itself.
Cool, I like it! The close-up (right) looks good.
Very different from the other works so far…
Indeed, and that’s another reason why all of us involved in this project have enjoyed the process so much. Everyone brings their own distinctive style and technique to the table, and the way they mesh (or in some cases don’t) enriches the end product.
Thanks for comenting.

Vroom! Loved seeing the process of this one.
Personally love how many different styles and techniques were incorporated into these.. Sjems being a stand-oout.
I, unlike simon do have one of these and I use it to plow through the children to get to the bathroom in the morning.
I also have its daddy in the backyard to scare off crows and cockys
Well done sjem on a very fresh take on things here. It also reflects your interests in all things architectural really well.
Is there a dashboard cigar lighter?
And does it have FM radio?
And can I get it in green? With alloys?
this turned out so well! i really like how it ties in with your other piece! almost like little brother :)
oh yeah!! this would give the dark knight a run for its money any day!!
This makes me want to create a Game of Kings mixtape purely for roadtrips in this baby. Lovely work sjem … so very unique.
