Description
This is some concept art for one of Johnny's action scenes.I decided to make use of his updated facial markings for this one.
There are quite a few things that I need to improve on before the next stage in development.

Ah, yes. When I read about the storied Rebel Yell, in a textbook, I was super curious as to what it sounded like. Years later, I decided to do some Internet research and I came-across the video you linked me to as well as a few others. Damn, that would've been scary to be on the receiving end of.
Incidentally, in a state of shortness of breath, I had previously emitted a high-pitched yell, while exhaling, in order to empty my lungs of used air, making room for another breath. It's amazing how much it helps. I was surprised to find how similar my breathing technique was to historical battle cries.
And thank you! ^^

Those balls are whizzing by. This is quite a unique effect and I've not seen it ever done before. Bravo.

Thank you, sir. I didn't realize how unique it was. I feel special now. I was actually thinking about what it'd look like on a high-speed camera. Like you, I've aspirations in the animation world.
Thank you for your supportive words.

No problammo. The image has a surreal slow motion feel in the midst of the chaos and violence.

That's actually sort of what I was going for. Johnny's in a battle-trance and giving the ol' "Rebel Yell" as he rushes on the foe with a couple of weapons he picked up in the fray.

I like the air displacement coming off of the musketballs, its creative!

Thank you for noticing and saying something nice about it.

My pleasure~
Admittedly I would like to be able to own a walker colt at some point... a good self-sufficient alternative to the S&W 500 given that lead balls can be homecast.
Oh wait I live in NY

Hm. You make a point. It'd be neat for the historical aspect, too. I must say, though, speed of reloading and reliable function are also important factors. I guess you could carry a few pre-charged cylinders to save time.
Oh shit. Sorry to hear that.

Indeed... and because I am a bit of an anachronism.
Ja the thing about that is in New York state all ammo purchases at this point are heavily scrutinized based on quantity purchased,
and I'm certain that we're heading to where even with cash payments you will be required (if not already) to show ID and all that jazz.
There is no freedom here, only feel-good degeneracy and self destruction.

You know, that's funny; the same word (anachronism) was used to describe me once. "An anachronism for my generation." It was by someone else, a respected elder, and the contemporary culture of my generation isn't something to flout, so I was rather flattered.
What's scary is that the same kind of thing has happened before in places like Russia, China, and Germany

Hmm... another way in which we are very much alike.
My parents never listen to me when I appeal to reason to start forming a modest amount of supplies and other such necessities to continue living without significant degradation in sanitary and sane conditions, their logic being "it will never happen to us" and "what can we do"... soon when I can get an income again it will just have to be my next pet project. I will try to be prepared sans a firearm as much as I am able.

It's good to know there are others like one's self. Takes the edge off the occasional, yet sadly re-occurring blights of lonliness that come from living in a world such as this one.
It has been my great fortune to have two gun toting parents that believe in the prudence of preparing for calamity. It makes me very sad that there are restrictions that make it so hard for you to exercise your 2nd Amendment Rights. I wish you luck, my friend. Stay strong.

Couldn't have put it better, friend.
Thanks... and same.

Colt single action Army. .44 caliber. Must have "Liberated" it from a Yankee Officer!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep. That's actually what I had in mind when drawing this.
Good eye, sir.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wait, do you mean that you have a Colt single action or that you have one eye?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes.
Actually I have a Colt Single Action Army. Fortunately, the good eye is the one I shoot with.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh. I offer my condolences for the loss of your eye.
And may God bless your good eye.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I haven't lost it, it just doesn't work!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohhh. I understand now.
I have a lazy/ impaired eye, myself. The other eye dominates it. I recently had to switch shooting hands to the side of my dominant eye.

Neat!
I used a history of firearms book for a reference.

"Yeeee-haw!"
Like at little round top at Gettysburg.
Col. Chamberlain did great job.

"Yee-haw" is more like what cowboys say to get the herd of cattle moving. It's also used as an exclamation of excitement, though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ain't southeners were cowboys?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not all of them. Cowboys are what we call the hands who work on cattle ranches. Also if someone (particularly an American, especially if they're from a Southwestern State like Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, or Arizona) is exceptionally tough and honest, they might also be referred to as a "cowboy" since those are the traits that are attributed to cowboys. But the term Cowboy should really just be used for American ranch hands. (Also, just for fun, the Mexican ranch hands are referred to as Vaqueros and the South American ones are called Gauchos.)
But as for the legendary Rebel yell, there are only a few known authentic samples of it (both by really old men who actually served in the war).
Here's some video/ audio clips:

These samples are the voice of one veteran, multiplied by the use of contemporary technology:

Now that's some scary shit, right there, huh?

My previous question was rhetorical, 'cause I know about this topic quite a lot with all my books)
But clips will be useful.

I'm sorry. I just told you a lot of stuff that you already knew.
Well, at least I know that I know now. Haha. Plus, anyone who happens to be reading these comments and is curious can go ahead and read the info, right?
It's good to know that we're both into American History though. High five!

Is he bleeding?
You need a medic character, now that I think of it. Well--need is a strong word but hehehehehe
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes.
Yeah, I'll get around to that eventually, God willing. Those Civil War MASHs were pretty scary by today's standards.

He doesn't notice though; he's in a battle-trance.
So much gore-or.
