Re: Share your Artistic Talents

I don't even remember when I drew this: http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/6748/img013wy.jpg Does that make its creative process like having a blackout after a few too many drinks?

The stock's a Magpul UBR, the pistol grip is literally custom-carved t...

Re: Tailplanes - Who needs 'em?

Hooray for necroing my own thread... Anyhow, I've finally had some time to get back to the redesign of the Firehawk:

Image

Still rather rough, but would the configuration of the forward VTOL engine-wossnames work? Should I make 'em bigger?

Re: Share your Artistic Talents

The sniper's a L96, its L96 cause of the recognizable bipod on the barrel. Actually, no. The bipod's a basic Harris that I chose for the merit of being low-profile enough that the shooter could fire it with the bipod extended comfortably without exposing a larger silhouette. The weapon itself is an...

I'll obviously be fixing it up, and yes, the basics were pretty much traced off the Su-47 to get an idea of how the design would be put together. Aside from that, are there any particular issues?
