Giant armored vehicles called tankheads clash on the battlefields of the Neverending War. These walking behemoths come in many devastating forms, battling across land, air and sea.

From the minds of artist Emerson Tung (DOOM Eternal, Warhammer 40K) and writer Tim Popelier, TANKHEAD is a world-building art book that explores these walking weapons and their conflict-filled history.
Roaming the liminal space between creativity and engineering, I spend as much time working on digital designs as I do with my hands covered in sooth making sure that my product is perfectly polished - literally in many cases. 

A skillset including such diverse topics as art history, CAD design or hand casting metals might sound rather scattershot but all springs from an education as gold- and silversmith and a knack for tinkering. 

I currently work as a freelance 3D designer, printer and consultant focusing mostly on jewellery and miniatures manufacturers. Two fields with a surprisingly large overlap in their manufacturing processes. I help customers from nearly every continent turn their ideas into reality. Sometimes I only do the 3D design or just the finishing touches on the master parts, but always by sharing know-how of how to make sure their product is suited to their needs and process perfectly. 

My passion lies in understanding every step of a method so that I can do my part in it, perfectly tuned to the needs of all that comes before or after. I am equally happy spending all my time digitally re-iterating on a concept as manually sanding down that final 0.05mm on a master model to make it perfect. 

Emerson is an art director and concept artist with 13 years of experience working in the entertainment industry, contributing to franchises such as DOOM, Transformers, Warmachines, Warhammer 40K, Angry Birds, and many more. 

He is currently working full-time as the Art Director at id Software.
