Fusion Crawlers


Fusion crawlers explore ice cliffs on the frozen landscape. They deploy forward feelers, grinding heads, and autonomous robots. Communication arrays transmit discoveries back to Earth.

There is a strategy PC game,Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, where you can build machines called Supply Crawlers (just called crawlers by the playerbase). They move on treads, like yours. Instead of information, they transmit resources back to the base they are assigned to. I believe you can build them to use fusion power later on too.

Hi James,
Could you explain the process for this painting in regards to space. Do you establish a horizon line and vanishing points, or do you rely on your eye and artistic judgement?
Thanks Tom
