Get well soon.Sorry for the long silence over the last few weeks, but I had heart surgery at the beginning of October.
Thank you. I'm working on it, and I should be back in top shape by January.Get well soon.
Thank you. Thanks to my rehab program, I feel better and better every day and should be fully operational by January. I'm able to spend time and drawing, painting and writing again.Here's to a speedy recovery TomTom!!
Re your conceptual drawing, that's some serious firepower.

I wish you a full and prompt recovery, get well soom mate.
Thank very much you guy's.I wish you a fast and full recovery, get well Budda.
Ok guy you're definitely getting over the heart surgery....Thank very much you guy's.
Proof that I'm getting better and better:
Another "Designs alterna-fic-tifs" project is finally complete.
I had the blueprint and text in September before my heart surgery. This week I've been working on the illustration, which is my first full
illustration since my surgery.

Ok guy you're definitely getting over the heart surgery....
Ok guy you're definitely getting over the heart surgery....
Thank you so much guys.Indeed ... that is one heck of a come-back TomTom!
I've made an annexe article on the alternate historic variant of the Me 262: Lumière sur le Me 262 A-1a/U5/R7I enjoy design and illustration a lot.
As said in my presentation message, I'm a writer and illustrator.
In this topic, I'm gonna share various type of design and illustrations:
-From the universe of my books (alternate history at the moment, but many more projects in the very long pipe)
-Design for fun
-Cyberpunk/futuristic design
-Random design for fun
I generally try to make realistic/plausible concept.
Not gonna spam everything today, but here comes a starter with some old illustrations:
Not so miraculous weapons from the volume 1 my alternate history novels "At the Edge of the Abyss / Au Bord de l'Abîme"
Ise class Battleship are converted to anti-aircraft battleship, but it didn't end well.

I've made a major update on this project.A more recent one. Only two years old.
Airbus EC970 Serval fictional design of a spiritual successor for the SA.321 Super Frelon.
Mix of photobashing and digital painting.
ALLARM MLRS is finally coming with a concept art.Ok, I've fixed some issues with wheels.
Update article is available here.
And here is the updated preview:
New update on my site. This time I've added a concept art for the Obusier de Campagne Motorisé / SPFH90I'm pleased to present you a new "French Secret Project": The "Obusier de Campagne Motorisé" or SPFH (for Self-Propelled Field Howitzer for the 1990s).
You could invent a whole back story about another nation offering to help clean-up after the taunamai when their primary goal was to clean-up a military prototype and spirit it back to their own lab in another country.New update on my site. This time I've added a concept art for the Obusier de Campagne Motorisé / SPFH90

Asking as a left-handed shooter, are all controls and the case-ejection port ambidextrous?"Sexier" and far better ergonomics
Nope. Same issue as FAMAS: made for right-handed people with ejection port on the right side.Asking as a left-handed shooter, are all controls and the case-ejection port ambidextrous?
Being an EFAB veteran, I have more or less known this project as the ancestor of CAESAR, having worked on the development of the support system for the latter, which is an essential complement to a main system to make it a weapon system ... The Matenin/GIAT pivot mass proposal never succeeded because it was not a priority (the Leclerc being the "flagship" of GIAT, ancestor of GIAT Industries which will later become Nexter). It was originally planned with an artillery of CN-155-TR-F1 (G1 to export) on which at the time young TEF I made my teeth ... Artillery whose swivel mass considered "badly foutue" has been optimized which led to the artillery we know today on the superb and wonderful (I am totally objective and impartial) CAESAR. Perfectly airworthy equipment on its Renault Trucks chassis, let us say it, repeat it and retain it, which was far from the case of the Matenin chassis thing ...New update on my site.

A never published photo, demonstrator CAESAR (first test of artillery GIAT on truck), on Unimog chassis supplied by Lhor, 30 years ago ...Merci pour ces informations, c'est fascinant.
Thanks for the picture and the information. It will probably prove useful as evolution of the AUF1 howitzer are also in my long ToDoList.Just for fun ... This is the only CN-155-TR-G2 O (O for optimized) that was built. This evolution of the TR-F1/G1 was intended to replace them with its 52 caliber long tube at the standard JB MOU (V0 of 980 m/ s ... hence more than 40 km range with RTC shell!). Its study completed its development was put into sleep because the market prospects were no longer to heavy, cumbersome and unwieldy towed equipment and especially not transportable by Transall or C-130 of our air force. However, the swivel weight was of excellent quality and it was lowered to be mounted on a special chassis and fitted to load trucks (Mercedes, Steyr ...) and later on Renault Trucks, which will be the standard CAESAR that we know today ... A small difference however ; the wedge breech which is still that of the TR-F1/G1 and which will be very soon replaced by the automatic shutter breech developed for the CN-155-AU-F2 (successor to the artillery tank CN-155-AU-F1 GCT) whose study will be abandoned in favor of the CAESAR !
