instagoat 133 Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) Greek Free Army Special Forces Rifleman, firing the MX-6.5 Long-frame Rifle. 4 ish hours from photographic reference (not traced), but with lots of liberty taken with the details. Not finished, but my hand started to hurt too badly to continue, so I stopped for now. Plus, it´s very late. I might continue working on this if I feel like it, details, background, camo, etc. Also, if anybody has questions or whatevs, feel free to ask. I am not very good at this, but maybe I can also share some helpful thoughts on arts and stuff. Also obviously credits for the brand go to BI. May you be inspired! Edit: Imgur wrecked the picture, I apologize for that. Edited November 28, 2012 by InstaGoat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smurf 12 Posted November 28, 2012 Well done, very nice! The stance and the thumb over the barrel hold just make it better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
someguydrawingstuff 1 Posted November 28, 2012 Awesome! Love the coloring, how do you do this? I cant do this without a line/hard shape :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
instagoat 133 Posted November 28, 2012 Awesome! Love the coloring, how do you do this? I cant do this without a line/hard shape :/ Sketched with broad brush for bodyshape and pose, roughed the outlines of the gear and weapon, and then went over that with detailed blacklines. I copied the blackline sketch, made the copy invisible and then began painting straight over the sketch. You can use multiple techniques for sketching the details other than that, but painting is basically the Idea not to use outlines to define the shape, and instead use the shape, colour and illumination instead. It´s a pretty tall art, actually, and getting good at it takes years. I am pretty shitty myself compared to the person who taught me the basics, but I am getting there. Picture showing the two sketch layers here. Total layers I painted is three: one intial sketch, one detail sketch and all colour on a single layer (apart from the red lighting, which I added later for contrast) The final picture in my other post above shows the final picture after painting over the copy of the detail sketch layer. Nevermind the US flag, I turned him into a greek during the colouring process. Last thing I have to add is that what´s important is patience and persistence, and the willingness to try out new stuff. Instead of saying "I can´t" say "I can´t yet". Hope this halps. Insta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maio 293 Posted November 28, 2012 Insta that's a great looking drawing. I really went "Damn..." in my head. Love it :) Though I kinda hate you know, cause I'm running gear customization combos in my head and I'm getting overly excited :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is that a custom camo swatch? I almost thought it was this soviet copy of the SS amoeba camo that the Arma 2 spetsnaz are wearing, but this pattern I´m entirely unfamiliar with... I like it. Is it an actual camo, or an original design? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I almost thought it was this soviet copy of the SS amoeba camo that the Arma 2 spetsnaz are wearing, but this pattern I´m entirely unfamiliar with... I like it. Is it an actual camo, or an original design? It's the Greek Resistance camo made by BIS for ArmA3. Got it from here: http://www.zazzle.com/arma_3_hexacam_arid_camo_pattern_mousepad-144475457665989559 I only know because there are screens with that camo on some tanks. Plus there's this that gives it away: http://www.arma3.com/full/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/web_factions_artwork.jpg The third faction I believe is the Greek Resistance. Notice the camo.

max power 21 Posted January 7, 2013 Interesting paint over. The lighting on the background doesn't look like it's very consistent with what's going on in the foreground so the image itslef looks a bit surreal. I think it would also help to desaturate the blue in the sky. It looks too intense. If you're going for the mix media photos and painting thing anyway, I would suggest finding some photo reference to put some texture into the walls of the plaster huts or whatever it is they make them out of- sandstone...
