Description *Plays AC/DC "Highway to Hell"* (Unless you prefer something more british like.... Coldplay?)

Requested by

Well he asked for something close to what does. So I comed up with the idea of a small group of british SAS trying to make a run for it trough a street crowed with enemy soldiers.

The car is a Land Rover Wolf as used in the British Military. All SAS are wearing uniforms with the Desert DPM along with Kevlar jackets on woodland DPM Pattern 94. An M2 machine gun is loaded in the gunners position while the passenger is firing a Heckler & Koch G-36K with Ironsights-carrying hadle (Normally seen in G-36Cs).
This unit is under heavy enemy fire which is not good if you're in an unarmored vehicle just like the Wolf. But hey it's the SAS... they're bullet dodgers (meh thinks so anyway )

While I was drawing the vehicle and I almost made one crucial mistake... the side of the driver. I almost forgot that the brits drive on the wrong side of the street (yeah lads... Driving is on the right side of the street ) so I had to keep in mind to put the steering wheel on the "wrong" side of the car.

All the white-yellow glowing thingies arouns the scenery are bullet-tracers. Yeah... one of them is heading directly towards the viewer. I'm afraid the "camera-man" who took this "shot" didn't make it.

Again this work took me quite more effort because of the amount of details plus the need of not depending too much on other people's brushes.
So all the textures you see in this picture are only the basic ones (Except for the bullet holes brushes which are from ).

I didn't bust my ass so much for the background since anyway I was to blur it all heavily.

The DPM camouflage was quite a task.... I had to use basic tools only in small size brushes with a heavy hardness level and I had to use them in two modes... normal and dissolve (This last one with a lower opacity level). I used a photo of the DPMs to know more or less how to work it out. The desert one turned out pretty good. The woodland one... not so much. What do you think?

Allrighty... My next project to work on is 's request.
I have scanned the lineart of "Why I joined the Deutsches Heer" before finishing my other projects. So you might see that one soon. Hell I already started coloring it so if my mood helps me I might upload that project before being finished with Robotmonkey's request.

I hope you like this project. Will get to your comments and messages tomorrow morning.
I'll see'ya in the Battlefield!

Because it's shit.

Universally acclaimed as the world's worst assault rifle.

Well they still make do rather nicely. I think one of the reasons why Heckler & Koch was bought by the british back in the 80s-90s was so they could improve their line of british rifles. I'll have to read on this later on because I am not 100% on this yet.

they have a signature style with their armaments, and i'd hate to see them be forgotten to time..

kinda what we're doing with the m14 ebr, i heard we may be trying to do a modernized version of the m1 garand.

the lsat could be a good edition to our arms..Β

Haha well they're both good groups on their own but yeah their vastly different styles and genres make it impossible to make a fair comparison between the two.

Nothing says "I'm a messed up SAS trooper not to be messed with" more than listening to soft pop music while gunning down enemy troopers.

is that a g36cΒ 

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Panzerfire In reply to hardcase1 [2014-11-18 18:46:47 +0000 UTC]

It's the "K" carbine variant. An easy wat to distinguish G-36 variants is by counting the airholes in the hand guard of the rifle. 2 Holes is for the compact "C" version. The "K" has 4 airholes and the standar rifle version has 6 airholes. The grenade launcher version is a bit more tricky since the grenadelauncher has the handguard integrated into is making the standar and "K" version practically identical except for the lenght of the barrel.

Der DPM-Tarn ist dir in beiden Varianten super gelungen. Die Flaggenpatches sind ein gutes Detail. KΓΆnnte wirklich ein typischer Battlefield-Moment sein.

Panzerfire In reply to Moe4 [2013-10-13 13:26:43 +0000 UTC]

Hehe Danke. War auch ein bisschen stressig dieser Tarnung zu malen. Ohne Brushes die dafur geignet sind ist es nicht leicht.
Aber seitdem, habe ich meiner eigener Brushes fΓΌr verschiedene Tarnungen ergestellt: Jetzt soll es einfacher sein.

well, here in HK, we drive on the left side of the road-wait, british drive on the right side of the road? Well, then I don't give a d*nm. And they're only trashing that country a tiny bit, they're taking more damage.
Btw, are you dead after taking this picture?

oh you're right. I wasn't really meaning myself as the cameraman but more like if this had been a photograph, then the photographer would been hit and probably killed. I wasn't thinking of myself but if that's what you want to think then it's ok.
