I hadn't had the time to do my concept drawings yet :P I'm really busy lately. I need to get my act together.
Ooh I'd love to see the rough sketches when you've done em. I'm crap with pen and paper lol.
I suck with software on the internet but I'm good when it comes to fan art on paper, my Facebook is littered with all my drawings :P
I did a Feisar fan art drawing a couple months ago and it came out really cool despite being a pain to draw.

I attached a drawing of Jennters first Racing Craft in simple retro look (I know that I'm not a Picasso).
Like any other AGR ship it had no weapon system (was first introduced in 2048) and poor shielding.
I also added the logo of the mother company Jennter Enterprises (may someone could let it look pretty :) )
Why the hell is the image upside down. It's not that you took it upside down, it literally flips the image upside down, how very odd.
Anyway, I've been working on this for a while, so without further ado, I present a history on...

Angelus was first establised in 2185 by Brandon Smith as Katana Advancements, a local AG car manufacturer in Perth, Australia, with their first car, the Vixen, being released to the public later that same year. The sportiness of this speedy, lightweight craft caused it to be a huge success around the country, which prompted Brandon to release the Vixen to the overseas market in 2186, where it grew a fanbase.
2197: 11 years and many fans and AG sports cars later, the birth of professional AG racing began once again, with the FX300 Anti-Gravity Racing League. The Katana fanbase blew up, calling for Katana to enter the AG Racing League. Because of this, on June 9, 2199, Brandon gave a press statement:
"In recent light of the rebirth of professional AG Racing and the increased standards to AG crafts, we, Katana Advancements are going to be overhauling our entire company, this is also due to a secret project we're going to develop. We can't say much about it just yet, but it will take a very long time to complete. Stay tuned for more information."
No-one could get in touch with anyone from Katana for the rest of the year, until a news post appeared on their website:

'Hey Katana fans, Brandon here, sorry I left you in the dark for so long, I've just been too busy with the new project. It is a thing and we're not backing down from it. Also, be sure to check out our centennary party to bring in 2200!
'We are Speed'. All of us, and all of you. See you in 2200!'

Katana Advancements
At 12am Perth time, on January 1st, 2200, the site changed. Instead of saying Katana Advancements, it now said: "Angelus Research & Development". A post accompanied the change.

'HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
As you can see, we've changed our name. We are no longer Katana. We are now Angelus R&D. This change is to accompany the project that we're developing, codenamed "Angelus". We hope to have it completed by about 2207. Anyway, enjoy the new year, we hope you stay with us, your support is the reason we are doing this project in the first place.'
We are Speed, We are 'Faster than Angels'
Brandon Smith
Director, Founder
Katana Advancements
Edit: Ugh, I really need to change that signature, whoops!
With the name change, every Katana product released now officially had an Angelus prefix to the name, for instance, the Katana Vixen was now the Angelus-Katana Vixen.
The Angelus project was completed on November 13, 2208, and was unveiled to the public on January 30th, 2209. Seven long years showed that they were, indeed, working on an AG racing craft. A press statement by Brandon revealed that "The main reason why it took so long was simple: Complications in the research, complications in the AG Race Commission guidelines, limitations in the technology, et cetera. The development of this was literally hell, but with it, an angel has finally made its presence. This, the Angelus KA-AGR1, the first in the Angelus Racing Project. This very machine will be entered in the FX400 League."
Nice one :)
Finally done it, the Wyvern Aeronautical Research logo "aka Wyvern AR". I've been so busy hence the delay in drawing it :P
