also, for some unknown to me reason, Half-Tracks from our world were better at, well, transporting people
@lavish fox Never meantioned about your knowledge (or it must've been a typo of mine) but rather was venting about the general knowlegde. That being said, I don't have a biasness to infantry, but I am a realist and tanks arent as holy as some people pretend they are.
but then, sdkfzs were able to carry more asses than our HTs
Not all the variants of the 250 and 251
I know
I mean, Foxhole tanks have sometimes good armor, but have weakpoints that would be really easily exploited in IRL
reloads ATR with malicious intent
Cheist
*christ
Foxhole ATRs could kill fucking tigers
but then suddenly, airplanes
Yeah
and lottsa infantry-carried anti-tanks
who wins ?
Big motherinfockin' tonk or a freezing German with some odd over-sized sticky hid in ruins
My great uncle was a war room peep and somewhere in my dad's house there's a bunch of models they used in the war room @lavish fox
Plus he was the guy who figured out that the A10 could be used against tanks with the vulcan
So going off of ancestors I think I win
That's why anybody that takes interest in tanks chooses BTs even if they're an absolute bitch to maintain, especially after .26.Too bad the BT is too complex to make on your own and I don't have a full clan to back me on making and crewing a tank. Not to mention keeping it fed.
I was in an op that had a BT
Fuckwr ran out of fuel every 100 meters or so
We all had to carry spare fuel if we didn't need the slots
I'm the last person they'd let near a BT. I don't wear my clan tag ingame because I'd need to change my steam name.
Seperate clan tags when
When the Devs get round to it I guess
We might get planes before clan tags lol
Before .26 I used to be able to crew a LT by building one myself.
I mean building it, taking the driver spot and then going around looking for a gunner and commander
Huh
Nobody's going to suddenly ask me if I want to be a tank crewman
^
And then after about 2-3 hours of tanking, I leave the tank I built on my own in the hands of the gunner and the commander and never hear from it again.
"Hey, what happened to my tank?"
"The replacement driver drove it onto a landmine."
Now I'm just waiting on a vehicle that's easier and cheaper than a LT that I can build solo and crew.
Relics were great for that
Something like an AC with a gun that's actually useful
[Insert AC with 20mm autocannon here]
Finding a storm tank, basically?
No
Oh
Sorta, but less
And wardens use a 40mm
I think 20mms are too
Powerful
For foxhole
Because they'd anhiliate other vehicles
And be good anti infantry weapons
What would you put on an AC that makes it more than just an FMG on wheels?
I have a picture for that, but not on this laptop
I think putting the 75 on the top and middle and adding a trenching ramp would work
Ever seen the Pakwagen?
Well
Ye
@buoyant crest They are not holy, and if you're realist you'd figure out by now that there is absolutely nothing holy in this world, like at all. If anything it deserves to burn in holy fire.
@regal kindle Google for Siege of Vraks, Arch Warhammer made an epic internet series of it until recently spanning more than 6 months and over 30 or something videos and only has about 10 or so videos on the War of Armageddon.
@peak oyster I have no interest in a dick measuring contest of ancestors, I only mentioned that since my dad was a tank commander he sparked my interest in tanks. Nowhere did I say that since he was one that I'm automatically an expert in all things tanks, that's just completely your own assumption.
Infantry support and recon
Its like telling me that a stuart is shit because you cant kill a tiger with it
@lavish fox DW dude, I know I won
And you can kill a tiger with a Stuart @regal kindle
Whatever.
ahahahahahahahahaha
I can't be bothered to argue with weird Europeans on the internet.
@lavish fox i know about arch, he is one of my fav youtubers, and i do followed his vraks series
It's like talking to a wall.
someone is t r i g g e r e d
Its like telling me that a stuart is shit because you cant kill a tiger with itI like the Stuart, but it's become hella difficult to get your hands on one in Foxhole and keep it fed.
He did the same for the war or armaggedon
Yep, like talking to a wall.
Im not european though
@remote lynx yeah, most people now adays are called jeff or geoff
@regal kindle I am, dw
What
He was talking to me
I'll take your word for it
@peak oyster srry m8, though he was talking to me about the 40k stuff
@regal kindle π
also, I dont see being european has to do anything with this? Is it that his pride makes him unable to see clearly and waters down any discussion to "I am from the land of free, the country with a broken democracy and the largest amount of prisoners, so many I have to lend jail space from other countries"?
Don't worry, Europe's doing just as much fucked up shit as america
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
at least we are honest about it
I am proud of my country despite its failures, but that doesnt mean I will pretend they dont exist and get mad of every mention about it, hehehehehehe
That, I feel, is the correct way to look at it
Anyone here plays war thunder?
o/
Pass me your steam id guys
Nah, I love my Germans too much to have to argue over who saved who's ass in Greece in game with ya.
eh
Foxhole: The New Order has came back !
So i was thinking of drawing a person but idk, i suck at it and landscapes
Partisan/Resistance uniform concept
now thats a man that buries his neighbour in the backyard with a proud smile on his face
Hahaha the mustache makes it even better
So im guessing i need to start over?
@analog pike I appreciate the Dick Kickem inserted in it
and overall it's pretty slappin' as a meme and art
@autumn leaf it would be best if you scuttled this attempt and started a new one. it would also be very helpful if there are multiple layers (1 for the sky, 1 for the ground and 1 for the soldier). also this video helped me a lot with making fields https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57vPrGjccH4

@analog pike 
7 sad hours
i have... several question
My first try with manga frames
@willow remnant I know that's AFT (aka relic AC), but still, you could make turret bigger
for fitting in a proper cannon
@remote lynx Tsk tsk tsk
it's not a canon it's a machigun
look at the scale the turret is small compare to the entire vehicle
@willow remnant Guy, you don't understand me. I said, that if you made turret larger, than you can fit in a cannon
oookkk
@analog pike better
someone can say to me wich shadows are the best ?
i like the 1st one
what's the diffrence
this area it's the reason
if you take the 1st one I think it's not possible for the shadow to be like this when this piece of metal is connected like that to the turret
Warden Navy Marine sketch
I approve! @orchid tulip
Frankengun made from bits of Lahti-Saloranta, Madsen, Stgw.57, MG 39 Rh and Charlton Automatic Rifle, with some few original additions.
Your thoughts guys ?
Frankengun on colour.
I remember when I made guns back in the days
jesus did that cost a lot of hours to make some people stfu
should get back into it sometime

Warden 2-8-0 Pegasus locomotive
That is pretty nice looking. Have you made a colonial one?
π€ collie art is rare my dude
oh shit, nice
The Colonial was done first, almost a year ago.
looks fantastic, both of em
Though I will say the Pack Mule would be taller than Pegasus.
@orchid tulip do you think you can made tank crew sketches ?
All aboard the awesome train
I tried updating the old meme with the new salvage sadly my free tools are refusing to show me where skeleton would be with a pixel location else i would've placed him better. All done with 3D Paint and some google

How much do you want to bet that the Collie steam engine will look fine qhile the warden one is a abomination in train design?
I'll bet a crisp high-five.
Also breaking news: A photo of a new Warden War Machine has just arrived! (this is just a meme, pls don't take this seriously)

Where the hell is the bayonet at, it's like 90% away from beautiful completion.
@analog pike fix this

@glad vale It looks like SKS, so yeah, I'll fix this boi
Great
@toxic tartan imagine these ingame
they were made cause carbines were still to big to fit inside of planes
medics liked large cal weps so the revolvers engineers actually didnt care to much for large fancy weapons they had the grunts for that logi likes machineguns and vehicle crews used carbines
the reason for all of these were literally based upon the convenience of there selections
but in game most medics use revolvers
Yes but in our game
engys uses shottys
cause then people dont try running up on em
logi uses rifles cause they work
and vehicle crews generally should never leave the damn vehicle
Yes but they canβt quickly equip and draw them
if your in that situation then your either 1 fucked or 2 double fucked
Kk
the guy who sees who first generally wins
Not always
yup but most fights go to the first one to land the hit
@peak rover
but this is a thing
Revolver carbine
yup
a kinda rifle sized secondary for medics
but cant see past his window like the revolver just with more accuracy
so less missing
Hmmm
My pistol carbine was supposed to use 2 9mm mags giving the user more accurately and a slightly better magazine size of 16 shots
yea peeps tend to not use the standard pistol tho because in the time it takes for you to down the enemy rifleman hes put 2 shots in you
hence the dance when using a pistol
just not enough damage uk
how bout this
i would actually like to see that used in game
they were a thing well kinda it was the Kampfpistole which was a flare gun with shaped charges
but same would love to see a anti tank pistol
French Army meeting Warden Army? Well this is awkward.
And then Americans/British meets Colonial Army.
π€
Pistol carbines are great
^ I like them too but people think they will be useless
@peak rover its a great idea it's just the carbine is generally better that the pistol carbine.
Though they'll consume double pistol ammo because extended mags.
I like these! Especially the second one.
1st pic is the new SOM mascot
Thanks
The beard i love it
somebody has blank map of Caovia ?
@peak rover Ehh... thank you, but this is not I wanted
sorry
@analog pike this?
Nah, I meant blank, for editing
Oh ok
big combine monster thing i did
lol x)
so ive been trying out types of mud. i feel like this feels the best for the tracks. what do you guys think?
@high ledge also, don't forget about the entry hole of the projectile.
good art btw

to be fair i don't really know ether
well what did you take inspiration from to make the gun
first i look at AK74 but it's too compiticate for me
then i look for UMP
but i'm a half ass so i can't draw for shit
XD
what that looks amazing to me
almost done btw
ok
Mmmmm.... Meh. Just threw this together, could've made the warden better... But.. Eeh... Meh.
interesting combination of styles

@wet vigil hey m8, will you someday release the coloured version of the colonial soldier with the green trenchcoat?
Its for a research

If I finish it yes

what is that thing?
It's some furry bullshit

@rocky tiger I appreciate the unique art style.
Thanks
Here is inspiration
The famous German engineering
@daring ferry No, that's their tanks where they had a bigger kill to death ratio to any other nation during the war.
A. tanker starts a WW2 discussion every other day, and we have less propaganda and more artwork. But that's about it
Not in a place or time to participate in said discussion sadly

Hey I know you! Also, this drawing has very defined lines mate, good job
Good I prefer the right one

Who needs studies, you just need to believe π
Oh yeah, let's believe losers on reddit that act like history teachers. No thanks. Look up how effective the Tiger was video by military history visualized. He has in detail graphs of each Battalion's kill to death ratio and it's 6 something on average which is pretty good if you ask me. I don't know about the other tanks nor do I really care, I also remember that the StuG also had a very good k/d but can't really back it up right now.
Additionally you could search for the amount of killed and dead on the German side during WW2 and the same for the American side in Vietnam, same war people say we lost while having 10 Vietnam fuckers die for everyone of our boys.
Call me a wehrboo all you want, but the Germans were highly professional soldiers, maybe not after 1943 when I read about the lack of morale and discipline , but they still kept fighting on and giving the Allies, and especially the Soviets hell. But they had their operational and organizational flaws, that just needs to be said. Also Prussian pride was something that fucked them up as well.
ok

I think most people just skip out on the crew training and skill, German tank crews, especially at the beginning of the war, were trained rigorously, while Soviet tank crews were mostly sent out and thought they'd learn on the way and be fine which was not the case and the great losses of T-34s prove this, add to the fact that they had 4 man crews, thus limiting their combat capabilities because the commander needed to aim and fire the gun instead of command the crew and sight targets.
But overall I think that if you ask every historian you know, they'd probably cite German tanks being the best during the war overall.
poor Panzer IV, gets overshadowed by the Kittens
This would have been good: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/56/e9/59/56e9594b1409ba6bf44f67a878eb981a.jpg
Sloped armor, same 75mm gun, armored skirts, infrared scopes.
Problem is the Panzer IV was getting outdated by 1943.
The armored skirts were already pushing the chassis and engine weight limit.
I think this was the Panzer III/IV project but it never saw the same light of day.
And here's the German variant of an improved T-34: https://www.scalemates.com/products/img/1/8/7/142187-15655-80-720.jpg
Same Panther long barreled 75mm gun, increased same sloped armor of the T-34, diesel engine, King Tiger "Porsche" (prototype) style turret, problem is it was a bit cramped but 3 man.
Rollers are at the back like on the T-34.
Better optics.
It was made by Daimler Benz as a proposal for the Panther project but the MAN one got chosen because it used already standard German production methods, same engine as on the Tiger, sort of the same suspension system and a turret for an earlier Tiger prototype. The DB one required the engine and turret be built from scratch thus meaning they needed new production lines and that would slow production but it was simpler, cheaper and weighted less, thus being more reliable. Albert Speer was even betting on this getting chosen and he recommended it to Hitler but in the end MAN got chosen due to the circumstances of needing to go faster into production.
@lavish fox you seem to be one of the more tank informed people so instead of DMing you imma ask here. why didnt the germans do something like in the picture im about to upload with theyre older tanks such as the pnz 3, pnz 4 and tiger in late war. basicaly, instead of uping the armor on the existing tanks which have boxy design with little to no angles, why didnt they decreas the armor values of the main armor and add thicc armor blocks on the outside serving as main defence. i know the pnz 3 had its 20mm plates, but they were also at a 90 degree angle. most obvious cause why this wasnt the deal to me is either the outside blocks would be too heavy for whats holding them to bare (especialy when hit by a high calibar shell) and that its too compicated for what its worth
what is up with art discussion and tanks
That being said, Imma involve myself; @high ledge A reason why germans used the boxy design over the sloped design was that Germany valued maintainability and reparability; the boxy design allowed for easier access to drive train components while not exposing an access-plate/hatch (which could easily spall/break if hit). Another reason is some practicality; having a flat superstructure for your drivers view port and other stuff is cheaper and easier to make. Lastly, counter-intuitive, sloped armour isnt necessary lighter for the same amount of protection (although it could be more effective under some conditions).
[sorry for small size, didnt expect the proof to be this big]
(1) A simple example of a boxy design with a sloped design superexposed on it; The height of the armour is 3000 mm and the debt is 4000mm. The boxy design has a flate plate of 100mm thick and a thinner sloped plate to get the debt. The sloped plate just goes directly to the front of the tank. It is to note that both designs have an effective armour of 100mm over the full profile (35mm at 20.5 deg is 100mm, and 60mm at 36.9deg is 100 as well).
(2) by multiplying the thickness of the plates by their length, you get a cut-through surface (which times the width of the vehicle would give a volume, from which you calculate the mass). As you can see, via using pythagoras, you get that the difference in surface is 440mm between the designs (less than 0.2%, not even 2%, 0.2). That is in favour of the boxy design btw, as I didn't calculate the surface of the small triangle between the two armour plates; doing so would make it the full 300 000mm^2 as well. Now I hear you think, what kind of sorcery is this? of to number 3 we go.
(3) Hopefully you remember your X, Y and Z's in math, because this is gonna be a ride. We take height Y and thickness X; The flat plate gives XY as surface. Now if we keep the thickness of the plate X, but move the bottom line along the x-axis? The surface stays XY (here calculated by using X+Z as full width of a square, subtracting two straight triangles of 1/2XY). You can also view this as infinitly many plates of X thick and dY high, which regardless of their position will make the same surface, which can be that sloped plate, or a circle or whatever for that matter. As third drawing, I have an example of the sloped armour "tiger"-style, which ofcourse ended up with a surface of X*Y.
I know the 3 paper would have been sufficient for the proof, but I just want to flex OK?
That being said, fully sloped armour does have its advantages over box armour ofcourse; for example, if the sides are also sloped, you can spare some weight there. It also has less welds/mounting points that can break, and bounces are more effective on a fully flat surface as the lower plate of the box armour would just ricochet into the flat upper plate. For the small sloped used on WWII tanks, it wasnt very much an advantage outside of these points, and it only started to matter in Cold War designs when the hulls became way lower and longer, enabling a fully sloped plate at like 30~20 degrees, which is around the limit shells are gonna bounce off instantly assuming your armour doesn't bend under the vibrations.
And now BASTA with these tank discussions.
TL;DR: sloped armour has it advantages nowadays, but boxy armour isnt as bad most people think (e.g. it isnt heavier for the same protection). It in fact has advantages over it at some points. I flex some with my engineering drawing. Now stop with all the tank talk.
Turtle explains it pretty well and in detail. Most simple explanation I could give was that Germany used the box on treads design, easy of manufacture and repair as mentioned, and it worked earlier in the war so they continued until the Tiger, which was in development alongside the Panther before the Eastern Front but because of the meeting with the T-34 they changed drastically.
They also kept churning out improved designs afterwards so that's why they didn't go back to the drawing board with the old designs like the Panzer III, IV and the Tiger I suppose. Generation 1 was the Panzer I and II, Generation 2 was Panzer III and IV, Generation 3 was Tiger 1 and Panther, Generation 4 was the King Tiger and supposedly the LowΓ« which was then abandoned to build the Maus for some stupid reason.
There were also experiments with sloped armor: https://forum.warthunder.com/uploads/monthly_2016_10/1390682_734531773228839_462795290_n.jpg.73ad666f376ae24523f83c10931cead5.jpg
But never implemented for one reason or another.
And here's what you were describing: http://cdn-live.warthunder.com/uploads/19/e6f74873d8914a528b479459f0aeaf31edfdcc_mq/tiger_d_wip2_by_giganaut-d6eavpo.jpg
I personally would have went back and gone with the VK3002 (Daimler Benz improved T-34 Panther), Panzer III/IV and sloped the armor of the Tiger 1.
That way the massive amounts of Panzer IVs would be kept somewhat updated, you'd have more production of the improved T-34 Panther and the Tiger 2 wouldn't have been needed.
But they kept making new designs after 1 year, it was basically part of the Arms race.
That's why you also had the heavier American prototypes that never saw services.
Or the British Black Prince Churchill and Centurion.
Soviet IS-3.
Another reason for the lack of sloped armour is that it cuts visibility for the driver
That's why you had the commander for.
Since the viewport will be further away from the driver, due to the slant and more forwards position, the driver and machine gunner couldn't see as well
Altho the T-34s (earlier ones with the 76mm guns) didn't have that.
((well, seeing obstacles on the road is a nice thing I've heard))
The T-34s did have that issue, actually
Idk, King Tiger drivers fared well under the direction of their commander.
No I mean
The T-34's commander
Had no cupola
because the driver was crampt in a forward position @peak oyster
Same on the 572
((in the 76mm models yeah, but he had a periscope))
*57s
Even so tho, good steel was used for the Tiger's armor and it could take a severe beating as records show.
Shame it was overhardened in most cases
Lesser steel was used in the Tiger II's case.
So that's why I think they made it thicker.
Also raw thickness of armour is always nice to have
Sloped armour works better with high gun depression
If your chassis and engine could take it.
Yeah
you know what else is nice to have, an art channel about art and not tanks #general-discussion
Well, to be honest you did contribute severely to the discussion.
How the fuck do you have an organised conversation in off-topic
You dont.
but some people want feedback on art and such, which is now lost in the pile
Fair
I also mentioned several times that the convo is b a d e, and only did so for education reasons (e.g., some maths and drawing)
@lyric wyvern that siad, like the pixel art. What inspired your style?
The game tbh lol
Nah
They are based on the classic strategy game Advance Wars, and do lend quite a bunch of parts
Here is the collection of my designs thus far, someone else also did a few
also
Well I've been doing pixel art for awhile on that small scale. I have a group of guys that all do little pixel armies.
sweet, nice to hear tiny pixel art is still in the swing
Ah lol the community is super small sadly.
advantage is that they are made quick tho if you have the expierence
Very much so. However it's also a very hard art style to master. I'm still pretty trap compared to others.
practice makes master, I've been doing it for litteral ages. Even before I could type properly, we had Gamemaker in the Old computer which I used to make all kinds of (kid) drawings; don't bash yourself for not having achieved a certain skill level, as everything is relative and no one lives a happy life thinking they are shite.
Its the idea that makes it art, not the beauty
skill is just a tool on top of that
youre a piece of art
we still havent met up so you dont know yet π
Oh I know im good at pixel art just not at master just yet lol
Kinda late to this dead discussion but i must do what i must
Italian tank crews> soviet tank crews @lavish fox
any tank crews > soviet crew
Art discussion > whatever the fuck you guys are doing
How do you do pixel art?
Thatβs really the only kind of art Iβve ever been interested in but I donβt know how to do it
@indigo zinc open up paint, zoom really really far in
Iβve never done art on a PC before
Well, the great advantage of pixel art is that you can use your mouse
it requires no drawing equipment whatsoever
Yep
I personally get the basic line art down first with black
then I paint it the base colours
Yeah I can see the thin outline on the artillery
Add detail lines in a contrasting colour (pure red, or pure green forexample)
then colour those in
then clear up the inside lines
And you have a BT
For the style I do, the last step is very important to prevent the thing from getting cluthered
additionally, partly for traditional reasons, I limit myself in colour. The Gameboy advance had a limited graphics cards and could only display so many different colours at once
Only basic colors?
hence factions practically have only 6 shades of the same colour to work with, and some universal grays and browns
It could do many colours tho, just not at the same time
Ok, are there any apps that could help me?
it could do a maximum of 56 different colours at once, which is barely any by todays standard
@indigo zinc The Asian pro's just use paint
I have luxury and use Photoshop, although I dont recommend it for pixel art
But basically any art program suffices
its just a matter of the right brushes and settings
well, it really just depend on the program you have; it is important that you have a pixel brush and no anti-aliasing
anti-aliasing is an "effect" that "rounds" shapes. Basically, it creates transparent layers of colour around the brush or paint area to make the colour more fluent in the diagonals. You dont want that in pixel art because it is really meant for stuff like pictures and when you are using anti-alliasing brushes
Btw, for clarification: Pencil = creates full colour pixels, is roundly or square shaped when made larger; brush = anti-alliasing at default and generally have a different shape
Is the outline whole pixels?
jspaint.app is very basic website which simulates the older art programs. Zoom in fully via the top menu and you are good to go (all settings are defaulted to what you need)
In true pixel art, every thing is whole pixel
Wow now I know why people struggle with it
It is very odd at first, you when you are using a digital pen for the first time
but you will ge tused to it
you will see, the theory is identical to the traditional arts, but how to get there is different
It seems very time consuming
Well, it really depends on your style, expierence and what you are doing
just like with regualr drawing; it can take 5 mins or 5 days
How long did it take you to make the Battle Tank?
I personally spend about an 1 on one unique tank, and 1.5 on two if they are "of the same type"
but I do test a lot and use bases from advance wars to get the right shapes sometimes
I'll show you more in a sec
First I copied a track (above of the Red Star Medium Tank), made it longer and added some detail lacking
Then I drew the crude boxy shape. Keep in mind this is isometric, so the distance is as big as the near
Whatβs with that green on the left?
Drew the mg post (this was a real haggle) and copied the track (which was on a seperate layer) which I moved to the back diagonally until it fitted in the hull on the "other side"
@indigo zinc as I said, high contrast lines
It is basically black, but I never changed it to it because as you can see in this step it is behind the mg
Thatβs a cool looking tank. Reminds me of the WW1 landships
Add the ground shadow. In this step I would generally start adding details like the darker lines on the side of the hull as well as the bolts and the highlights
Optical illusion
With the turret, you can tell better; This is the base
This is detail
Then I added this dude, which I got from another drawing I did (please dont ask me to do people)
Then I fitted the turret and recoloured the thing
Neutral faction?
Wait donβt blue and green make purple?
Its from an old game, back when the game boy was the only game boy on the market XD
@indigo zinc blue+green = torquise. blue+red = purple
game boy
it was the game boy
Oh that was the colors it supported?
yep
Only 4?
ThAtS tO mAnY
For that time, it was incredible
we are talking 1998
that is, the game boy colour, the very first game boy wasnt even in colour yet
π―
1989 baby
So complex
the pixel were like over a milimeter in size, but it was astonshing small for that time. Like, the average person had never seen a LCD screen, TVs were as deep as wide due to their electron canons and the CD had to be yet inveted
ok, the last is a lie, that was 1982, but it wasnt popular all then
I knew it
Actually, I have met one of the guys who worked on the DVD and CD readers
amazing systems engineer, one of the best colleges I have followed
feel almost disgusted I failed the course
Donβt be
@regal kindle What Padfoot said lol.
That any tank crew is better than a Russian/Soviet one.
Oh yes
Which is just simply true lol.
And I think it was more like something along the lines of 192 tanks but whatever.
That for the medics? Nice.
@lavish fox no it not for medic
@peak rover the Dovakin is a Warden
And, @indigo zinc , did you manage to make something?
Hello fellow artists, if anyone could make me a pfp of a Teddy bear in a collie uniform that would be real cool. I'm talking similar art style to Loxen or Anclet's pfps.
I just learned that the FCM 36 had a variant with the SA38
thats a weird octagon
Bless you
its ok
@buoyant crest today Iβm going to be around my laptop
Yesterday o wasnβt able to
ah
Boys
Ill give 5 shekels to the one that does a warden or a colonial version of this
And here we go with the Italians once again...
Why can't you just be a normal person and love the Germans instead.
why cant y'all be normal and just enjoy tanks
there is a difference between a tank
and an all-terrain high velocity pizza delivery vehicle
@buoyant crest cause tanks arenβt enjoyable
ok now thats just too far my dude
There's a certain beauty when it comes to tanks
@lavish fox cause italians are great
But take a lot of injust grief because of the germans
And because great grandpa was an italian tank commander
@regal kindle Poles are better than your Italians
Finns, Poles...
I can tell you day and night about every smaller nation way more badass than your macaroni-eaters
@regal kindle To be honest the only people that I've read praising the Italians were the Germans serving with them in Africa.
The Allies just made fun of them.
@lavish fox the allies just swallowed all their anti italian propaganda as the reality
Thats why they suffered a lot of hard blows
Like the conquest of parts of sudan and the brittish somaliland
And their failed attempt to capture the dodecanese
italy was just ill-prepared for war, and suffered from poor higher command and political ambition.
italy bad
nah they just lacked sauce
italy just didn't have much of anything to be the powerhouse Germany was
Made a Three Houses character for fun. Long live the Golden Deer o7.
Noble houses in foxhole !?!
why he snakey?
Itβs our logo
It's good
Cute.
Ummm.... yeahπ ...
Oh my Callahan, did a grenade go off on his crotch?
do I see a Chinese Dadao π
a Sabouteur concept sketch.
and a sniper concept sketch
and a tank crew concept sketch
That sniper is definitely cooler than me
this does put a smile on my face
Beard! Beard!
@peak rover thats a nice clan logo mate, I ain't ever seen something like it!
@viscid haven what sorry?
Sorry, I was stroking out when I first wrote that
Heavy Infantry (Tin Can Boy) concept sketch
Thatβs my other opposite βMerran Tarineβ
Captain White.
Soldiers are more concerned about his/her sex than their strict attitude.
Colonial Warm Climate Uniform concept sketch
an old animation I never got to finish
Another whitehair and redeyed enters the competition
It was actually based on your character. At the time, I didn't know if it was a male or female so I thought how fun it would be to draw an androgynous soldier.
Here's the cat ears version. @odd berry
I see ss13 things
What kind of a desolate server has cat ear garbage
Tell me, so I don't ever end up there
Most. I got banned very quickly from paradise server one time for setting up and utilizing a gas chamber, for uh, purely scientific purposes. Probably shouldn't just admit to these kind of things, huh? π
Disgusting furry garbage
Yeah, that was my thought as I crammed the next body in
This is why the shotgun is always loaded with slugs
@wheat prawn TG, but only older accounts who already had cat person profiles got to keep them
That effectively makes me a veteran
making background π (need help).
cut him up!!!
@soft crow Iβd say draw a bayonet attachment on another smaller piece of paper that you can move off and on the rifle because itβs seperate.
But yeah it looks pretty good.
@glad vale that is a great idea, I Will do it.
looks like you are giving yourself the thumb π
That's what i think.
yup, you saw the thumb. good view :D
hey um anyone taking request
depends @high ledge
I've tried something
man, you're not good at photography at all
where's the composition
what makes this piece interesting
"uhhh I guess I'll just take this really cool drawing and fill the frame with it"
no creativity whatsoever
(it's a joke, the drawing is really cool)
it's like
I'm criticizing the bad photography skill
because photographers are
i'm just going to stop talking
@zinc nimbus its good but Iβd recommend going a little smaller with the eyes
The proportions look strange when you look at the eye.
Ok thanks for the advice @glad vale
π
awesome pixels
damnn
The snout(?) is rather angular but overall very nice π
me wen the say the a new war
The future of warfare, by me. Enjoy
@final forge some ying snoots can get pretty pointy, but I agree, it's a little off
The wheelbarrow of doom, a cheaper alternative to the motor of cycle.
Made it a bit more 'grounded'
@manic sky it bothers me that the guy in the back has one foot
Colorized, and I tried to crop the foot a bit more
Pink Flurry and crews
I try to sketch by hand drawing
daww
Me too he's name like Water
needs more work on face proportion
These are the first anime drawings I make, so every advice and criticism you make helps me a lot.
the hair on top, or accessory on top looks very out place
i don't know how to call this art style
i'd call it hella good
Anime?
yeah
anine
nunime
@rocky tiger hay mummy its me waterway2 i was part of your tank crew i saw the drawing of tank it looks great
@cedar spruce oh it you thanks
@cedar spruce yeah it really came out nicely. Although the tank has a misleading name now.
The tank had a few more combat situations before it got stolen after one of the times of being hidden away.
@glad vale ow ok thanks for the info
https://youtu.be/KebBj9F7Ff4

kakak
My little brother often watches me playing Foxhole. The day before yesterday I taught him how to draw in Paint. Today I found this on my desktop...

That's cute

So bad
~Hey whatever pays the bills.
How it looks? (WIP)
Progress report.

You know that hurts my eyes a little @cerulean anvil but when you get to coloring, you should try to go for HBβs old hair color π
Sure. Why not?
I have fixed some things, but still have some problems.
However, how does it look?
(WIP, obviously)
Well, it depends on what look you're trying to do. Are you pursuing anime style in general? Perhaps your own style?
There are a lot of things I could say. However, it can sound rude and I might be misinterpreting your overall stylistic choice.
I mean it depends on what sort of help you want.
Something something the fires and hell of /ic/ has made me jaded
proportions are unbalanced.
Yeah, proportions need work.
I will tell you, other than practicing and grinding your fundamentals, that references for poses and such will help tremendously.
One big thing is the head is way too big compared to everything else.
But in general, you need to start from the beginning with this. Do some general body form practice, some anatomy fundamental stuff.
Like, seriously, as much as it is a meme, Loomis is a great place to start for beginners.
Also a billion resources online. Everything from nice community things like Drawbox, to resources like posemaniacs, to just homegrown and community based things like DeviantArt stuff (A Sketch a Day) and others.
Something something a shill for drawing.
oke
This is totally not a desperate attempt to have more people git gud at art so we can have a bunch of weeb art for Foxhole.
:^)
well someone oughta continue the legacy
becoes ther is wifuΒ΄s in here so have one more!
@blissful heath I saw that hehe.
I realised that Cypuss might not speak English natively, so I felt bad saying it
It's not bad btw
it ok X3 i sick to so it dunΒ΄t help X3 but glad you like it
@high ledge this might help you https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/214498844409331713/540267768335958017/ad91efe12540a790b209e672083fddaf.png
Every crease in clothing is caused by pulling in another point.
That's a big thanks from me dog
When you still have feeling with DOOM and play Foxhole
Nice
Have you been in Rip and Tear lately?
absolute UNIT
nice
@blissful heath You know what it is.
some ones sold on the 3rd faction idea
When Logi from both sides quit and unite as one faction because theyβre tired of oppression
But then just like almost every tiger communist nation they eventually drift apart and suddenly become oppressed Logi and βheroicβ infantry once again
Troo
never thought about that eh
Would be interesting for a holiday agreement
I luv da DAKKA DAKKA!
Reminder that Anime is inevitable.
Oh, have we gone too far with the anime
Japan (I think) is going for genetic engineering on mixing human and animal DNA, so
I want it
Ships come alive
All young girls
what
Given how long some ships were in service, you'd expect at least one cranky old woman who still remembers WW1
it's wank fodder, don't act like it's anything more than that
I mean foxhole as it's own shipgirls. ;^))))
same thing
Why does it always have to be traps...
