I wonder

#

did you ever consider a colonial counterpart?

#

or maybe I'm just blind and there already is one

glad wharf
#

wots a kolonial ?

There is a Colonial counterpart but she needs more love

How i draw face like that

bright jay
#

I draw dk so i dont have to draw face

#

Why cant i draw faces ;-;

torpid glade
#

feel u

#

still no idea wtf is a hand too

buoyant crest
#

practice! Theory!

#

basically, you draw a ball with a cone on the bottom. Then you draw a line in the middle of the cone/ball on the place where the middle of the face will be. Then you horizontally devide it in two and you have the positions for your eyes, then you split the bottom half in two and you have your mouth. Nose is ~1/5 of your face height, starting at the eye line. Eyebrows are ~1/12th up. Ears are mounted on the eye line, go up to your eyebrows and go down to the bottom of the nose line.

#

Start with a simple front facing face, draw that many times, then try other angles, check were it goes wrong using real life references, then try accenting it (by differing slightly from the drawing 'rules'), try emotions, try more complex angles, go ham

#

but, most important of all, experiment!

#

see what differing from certain steps can give wacky effects

#

It seems like a lot at first, but you get fast quickly. Its just muscle memory

  1. draw two circles

#

Shall I do a complete step by step tutorial for you? @remote lynx

remote lynx
#

Nah, I'd fuck that up too

buoyant crest
#

Impossible

remote lynx
#

BET

buoyant crest
#

bet

#

eyes are 1/5th in width, and the distance between the two eyes is the width of one eye

#

fill in shapes, add mouth on 1/3 from the middle line and eyebrows ~1/12th up

#

Add ears and hair. The hair is a study on itself, but for now, the most important part is to know where the hair starts, which is 'highlighted' with the thicker lone I drew

#

@remote lynx now you

#

For those reading this, this is how I draw faces, but there are many other methods. Google a bit or ask around and see how other people do it! Do what suits you best. I actually rarely use this method as I can nowadays do it most often by eye, but that took like hundreds of drawings

;p

#

but see, its quite quick and some practice gives good results πŸ™‚ @remote lynx

remote lynx
#

Eh, it wasn't quick and it ain't good

#

I did fuck it up

buoyant crest
#

but did you really?

remote lynx
#

considering I was trying to copy yours? Yes.

buoyant crest
#

Oh, but mine wasnt perfect either XD

remote lynx
#

and mine sucks even more >:(

buoyant crest
#

Nothing sucks

#

it looks great, you picked it up well

remote lynx
#

nah

buoyant crest
#

if you think you can learn something in one try, you ar emad

daring ferry
#

You can always draw machines if you don't wanna draw faces

buoyant crest
#

It took me a dozen attempts to draw what you drew

remote lynx
#

nose too big, mouth not wide enough, lips too full, eyes too small, eyes too close to the nose bridge

buoyant crest
#

that is all a matter of practice

#

draw a dozen of these, and they will be more refined

#

and this is a small drawing, any error of hand is magnified. Try drawing bigger!

remote lynx
#

for me it's the opposite. The bigger the drawing, the bigger the error

buoyant crest
#

but is it error of hand, or an error of route? connecting two points is a skill on itself ofcourse

#

but sketching should help that

remote lynx
#

it's error of my hand not drawing what my mind's eye tells it to

buoyant crest
#

with error of hand I mean jittering of a line πŸ˜…

#

but just stop whining and draw more

#

practice makes master

remote lynx
buoyant crest
#

Every sentence you type here is a line you could have practiced! Stop reading my messages and draw another face!

remote lynx
buoyant crest
#

then correct it

#

its sketching ffs

remote lynx
#

I can't unscuff. I just scuff it again

buoyant crest
#

yes you fucking can you dimwit

#

if you scuff it ten times, then the average is correct

remote lynx
#

If I scuff it ten times, the mean is still going to be scuffed

buoyant crest
#

JUST DRAW

@cunning kettle

the front and back wheels are too high up and not wide enough

clothes are hard to draw ;-;

Just let all the streches go to the folding points or let it drape around a cilinder

it just feels off

kinda

#

maybe too short neck?

faint egret
#

i think i might have drawn her head too big

#

;-;

#

idk

paper barn
#

The neck looks out of scale compared to the rest of the body would be my guess.

faint egret
#

that seems to have made a difference

#

altho i think im gonna have to rescale the arm now

buoyant crest
#

Basically, a sleeve is a really long cilinder encompassing another cilinder (aka, the arm). So when the arm bends, it also bends and creates a point with too much material: the foldong point

remote lynx
#

[mouw]
sleeve

buoyant crest
#

At the opposite side is the streching point, the place where everything is stretched. All foldong lines try to avoid this place, and favour the foldong point

#

If there is no direct place to let the folding lines escape to, let it drape (as exampled at the wrist part). You did a pretty good job with it at the body of your drawing

#

@remote lynx ty

paper barn
buoyant crest
#

Also remember: know what clothing you are folding: large pieces tend to have big folds, thight clothing small and loads, sturdy clothing very sharp lines, soft/cozy clothing very bendy lines

faint egret
#

huh

#

interesting

buoyant crest
#

A tip of mine if you wanna dive a bit deeper into clothing: get to your wardrope and put on different pieces you have and look at how it folds πŸ˜‰

#

Even when you have relatifly uniform clothing style, there is differences between slight size differences of shirts

faint egret
#

i suppose thats help drawing males but i am perplexed by the females cloths as well they have some interesting folds that are hard to draw lol

buoyant crest
#

hehehehehe, I barely drew any women until I was like 20, and holy shit, that challenged my techniques XD

faint egret
#

XD

#

its really awkward looking up reference images too lol

buoyant crest
#

Its quite funny to see the process of improvement, made me strave from my easy to-go-to style, and actually improved my general clothing folding realism

#

proves that drawing outside your comfort zone can defintly improve your drawing

faint egret
#

yeh

#

so the creases on the sleeve would that be roughly the correct shape?

buoyant crest
#

Yes, good start!

#

I would just pull one of them longer

#

although, depends on how the shoulders work ofcourse

faint egret
#

like this maybe?

#

nvm

#

wrong pic lol

#

and im trying to get her to salute

#

so i guess the shoulder would have some creases too πŸ€”

buoyant crest
#

there would be a little pluck on it

#

look at your own shoulder and see, when you raise your arm, how some of the material raises up around where the sleeve meets the body of your shirt

#

it works pretty much the same of any (western) modern top clothing

@silver lintel looks poggers, what game are you making a mod for?

silver lintel
#

Steel Panthers WWII

#

Hexagonal, squad-based strategy game. Each unit you have is a squad or individual tank, and you can have up to five-hundred units on each side. Not bad for a game running off a '90s engine.

#

The goal is to keep it as close to Foxhole as possible unit wise, though me and my friend have been brainstorming over aircraft recently.

faint egret
#

there are FH aircraft

#

if you look in the home region youll find examples of them

yep that's contreband

"you got the good stuff?"
"yeeeeee"

obsidian trench

saw that on a "D&D stat this" group

silver lintel
#

@faint egret They look weird, like a cross-over of a Focke-wulf and a P-47. But we want to add more, like early, mid, and late-war aircraft.

#

So the idea is to base the Warden aircraft off of a mix of French and German designs.

#

For example, this is the early fighter. A mix of a French design with a very fat German engine.

I like it on the parts where it shows depth not so much on there turret

mainly refering to the back of the turret

cyan parrot

Okay but you think the top of the turret looks fine? I see what your saying looks odd on the back

#

Any spots you think I should put some?

Also blender is pretty cool once you get used to it I could never use it good tho xd

hasty widget
#

top looks fine but the back being different color looks a bit wierd

#

yeah blender is alot to learn and honestly making a tank my first project is uuuuuuhhhhh

cyan parrot
#

It seems like a ton to learn but cool projects come outta it, that's looking nice so far tho I like the newer look you're going with for the tank

silver lintel
#

Infantry are still a WiP, but thoughts on the BTs?

#

Rather, the infantry are the base-game models.

hasty widget
#

looks really good

#

one comment tho, the BT has no shadow, I asume the vehicles in this game have shadows like the Inf do

silver lintel
#

If you zoom in you see a bit of a shadow. But I might have to get my friend to do that. He's better at lighting than I am.

hasty widget
#

ah yes, I guess my comment then would be its not as defined

silver lintel
#

Yeah. This game is really, REALLY finicky about stuff since it's so old.

hasty widget
#

ah kk

#

Are the blue boxes unit symbols or faction flags?

silver lintel
#

Faction flags. That's the generic blue (Central Europe) flag.

#

There's a Blue for Central Europe, Green for Generic Asian, and Red for partisans.

hasty widget
#

would be cool to see the warder/collie flags in there in the future lol

silver lintel
#

That's the plan.

hasty widget
#

noice

silver lintel
#

I'm doing the map, scenario, and unit design. I also do a bit of the art, but my friend is the one doing most of it.

#

The goal is to have the Wardens 100% done by Christmas, with the Colonials playable but with placeholder art.

hasty widget
#

nice

#

I wish I was better at pixel art

silver lintel
#

Same!

#

I'm debating whether or not to add aircraft. I want to keep this close to Foxhole proper, but aircraft are so pivotal in this game.

#

Plus paratroopers are mentioned in canon as the reason why the Colonials were able to breach the wall.

hasty widget

lol, My advice would be leave them for last and work on the stuff in the game atm. who knows maybe well get airplanes by then jk xD

#

Nice, but doesn't answer my question

carmine jolt
#

by direction you mean?

quartz shuttle
#

What should I add, remove, special effects, etc

#

What should I do with it basically

rocky tiger
#

Add doggo

carmine jolt
#

yes. the dog. it's the most important addition

quartz shuttle
#

No thanks, I'd rather not

remote lynx
#

Personally

#

I'd replace the lineart with something like the concept art I posted

#

it looks out of place atm

quartz shuttle
#

That's a rough sketch

#

Its nowhere near done

remote lynx
#

In that case, I've got no suggestions

carmine jolt
#

yeah it looks decent enough

pulsar grail
#

@quartz shuttle Looks great man. One thing I would consider: get rid of the cannon on the left or make it way less contrasty. Kind of takes away the nice visual lines you have focussing on the crawling soldier:

faint egret
#

itd be cool if it was darker in lighting and then you could add nice little specs of red in the fires in the backround

quartz shuttle
#

That's a rough sketch, as I wrote above

#

It'll be colored, not black and white @faint egret

#

And, I haven't decided on exactly what I want on the whole scene, so if I remove the cannon, do I add something else? @pulsar grail

pulsar grail
#

hhhm, if you have the canon covered in snow I think it will take the focus away. But if you're working with layers (I hope you do) just play around and don't "throw it away" because some rando on the internet said so πŸ˜„

quartz shuttle
#

I'm asking for opinions, I haven't decided on anything yet

pulsar grail
#

On second thought, you might actually go with snow covered bodies, showing the advance of wardens

#

Leaving a trail of devestation

faint egret
#

can i get some advice on noses

quartz shuttle
#

since its anime style, its pretty easy

carmine jolt
#

a line, and a crescent lol

faint egret
#

im trying too but it always looks off

#

i hate noses ngl

carmine jolt
#

lmao

#

can relate

#

face in general is pretty hard

peak rover
quartz shuttle
#

IF you don't like noses, then you could practice a art style that doesn't require noses

peak rover
#

gas masks

carmine jolt
#

genius

quartz shuttle
#

No noses, but still looks good

carmine jolt
#

yeah. anime hardly puts much detail on noses

and like that sometimes not at all

pulsar grail
faint egret
quartz shuttle
#

I almost spit my drink @pulsar grail

faint egret
#

like it just looks off lol

#

and @pulsar grail amazeing solved my issue 10/10 lmao

quartz shuttle
#

@faint egret For it to work, you can't do face looking at the camera, make it looks from the side

#

It can look at the camera, but not frontal image

#

That way, you won't need a nose and it won't look bad

faint egret
#

so maybe just try leave nose out then?

quartz shuttle
#

Not with the angle on this picture no

faint egret
#

hmm

quartz shuttle
#

Like I wrote above, if you make the character face frontal to the camera, you need a nose, but if the face doesn't face the camera, then it's better

#

Do you understand what I mean?

faint egret
#

yeh

quartz shuttle
#

So in that one, do a nose yes

faint egret
#

just looking up some references

#

and i think i might try to recreate one of these

#

in the front view

quartz shuttle
#

Those are good for men, I don't think they'd be good for females

faint egret
#

i hate noses ;-;

quartz shuttle
#

To get better, you gotta work it

#

Here, lemme try to do the nose for you

#

ah shit, we don't use same pixel

carmine jolt
quartz shuttle
#

Its not gonna look really good, but it'll be a reference for you, alright? @faint egret

faint egret
#

alrighty

#

im appreciative of any nose help

quartz shuttle
#

@faint egret ^

carmine jolt
#

looks good

faint egret
#

so something like that then

#

ill give it a shot

#

πŸ˜„

#

like this ?

quartz shuttle
#

You tell me, its your art

#

Do you like it?

remote lynx
#

I swear, I've seen that picture before

#

and I don't mean the lineart from before

faint egret
#

?

pulsar grail
#

@faint egret Looks good to me

faint egret
#

teh i think i like the nose lol

quartz shuttle
#

There you have it

remote lynx
#

Mehbe I'm having a brain fart or a deja vu, but I feel like I've seen that pose somewhere before, right down to the hair

quartz shuttle
#

Tanya? @remote lynx

remote lynx
#

Who?

remote lynx
#

nah, I don't think so

quartz shuttle
#

idk then

remote lynx
#

She's a nutter btw

#

fookin hell

quartz shuttle
#

@remote lynx Its a man

carmine jolt
#

and?

quartz shuttle
#

LOL

remote lynx
#

technically not anymore. Also, would that make her gay? julianlol

faint egret
#

lmao

quartz shuttle
#

How I practiced is, I drew an oval, then I practiced one part of the face until I was satisfied with it and I continued to do so with every part for both, men and women @faint egret

carmine jolt
quartz shuttle
#

Took me a looooooooong time before I was happy with everything

remote lynx
faint egret
#

yeh maybe i need to do some more face practice

remote lynx
#

it looks pretty decent to me.

#

Also, it's funny how you did hide the eye behind the hair

#

most pictures I've seen has the lineart for the eye over the hair instead

faint egret
#

is that bad that i did?

remote lynx
#

even the picture nico posted you can see the eyebrows covering the hair

#

Bad? Not at all.

#

It's an artistic choice, though I prefer yours

carmine jolt
#

what made that the norm, really? having the eye visible through hair

remote lynx
#

Probably people liking the eyes too much

#

also they love drawing full sets of hair

#

do they even ever remove the hair from their eyes or what?

quartz shuttle
#

Oh yeah, once we're done with this piece, we are going to make another one, any ideas of what I could do?

#

I was thinking of partisans exploding a bridge with tanks passing on it

remote lynx
#

that's also a good one

#

though, partisans or special forces?

carmine jolt
#

partisans are "special" forces

quartz shuttle
#

It'll be foxhole

remote lynx
#

Because I really hate that people in Foxhole refuse to tell the difference

quartz shuttle
#

So call them whatever you want, the characters will look like Foxhole's characters

carmine jolt
#

@remote lynx wait what there's a difference?

remote lynx
#

well, yeah

quartz shuttle
#

So any other ideas?

#

I'm open minded, as long as it stays in the realm of Foxhole

remote lynx
#

Partisans are usually about general disruption whereas special forces usually go in for a single objective

#

ambushing trucks is partisan, blowing up a fob with satchels is special forces

#

both behind enemy lines

carmine jolt
#

huh. ive always thought partisans are just people who messes with the backline regions in general

#

the more you know

remote lynx
#

A partisan is a member of an irregular military force formed to oppose control of an area by a foreign power or by an army of occupation by some kind of insurgent activity. The term can apply to the field element of resistance movements. The most common use in present parlance in several languages refers to occupation resistance fighters during World War II.

#

Special forces have played an important role throughout the history of warfare, whenever the aim was to achieve disruption by "hit and run" and sabotage, rather than more traditional conventional combat. Other significant roles lay in reconnaissance, providing essential intelligence from near or among the enemy and increasingly in combating irregular forces, their infrastructure and activities.

quartz shuttle
#

@remote lynx I think he meant in the game and not real life

#

Cause at least that's what I meant

carmine jolt
#

yeh and they used the irl terms into the game. makes sense

remote lynx
#

I detest being called a partisan when I try to perform sabotage behind enemy lines

carmine jolt
#

"guys guys partisans in allod's"
"it's SPECIAL FORCES, thank you very much"

faint egret
#

lmao

remote lynx
#

imo the ingame difference is in preparation

#

partisan being a more improv operation

quartz shuttle
#

Well anyway, please tell me what we should draw after this one! I need more ideas!

remote lynx
#

tbh I'd find it interesting to see a tank being repaired

#

We've seen plenty of action shots, but not a lot of downtime

#

apart from posing for pictures

quartz shuttle
#

Like, people in a town and there's a tank being repaired as trucks are passing by?

faint egret
#

thatd look cool

remote lynx
#

yeah, something like that

#

or maybe an entire motorpool?

quartz shuttle
#

Sure, we could do something like that

#

Motorpool?

remote lynx
#

A motorpool is a group of motor vehicles whose use is shared on a short-term basis by the personnel of an organization, such as a governmental agency or military installation. The term can also refer to the place where such vehicles are parked when not in use, and to the staff...

quartz shuttle
#

Oh, a column of tanks being repaired on a FOB?

quartz shuttle
#

Yeah, that's what I imagined, a forward base to repair the tanks that are damaged from the frontline

remote lynx
quartz shuttle
#

Yeah I got the point

remote lynx
#

you could totally keep the truck idea though

faint egret
#

have someone hammering a bent peice of armour back into place

#

next to a TH

quartz shuttle
#

What I had in mind at first, is a backline city with trucks getting supplies for the frontline and we have the focus on the tank being made in a factory

delicate storm
#

A crane that's got the turret lifted off a tank

remote lynx
delicate storm
#

πŸ‘Œ

remote lynx
#

I'd art, but my method kinda sucks and does not allow for people

quartz shuttle
#

Ok so got 2 ideas out of this talk, first, the one that I just said, the making of a tank in the backline as trucks take supplies for the frontline and second, tanks being repaired on a forward base

remote lynx
#

πŸ‘Œ

quartz shuttle
#

Anything else in mind?

#

I'll be drawing for months because of the damn virus

#

@faint egret You got anything?

carmine jolt
#

medics struggling to keep soldiers alive in a field hospital @quartz shuttle

faint egret
#

i mean welders ect would look good in the back ect

drowsy garnet
#

medics struggling to keep turning wounded soldiers into ss

faint egret
#

maybe in backround a factory

carmine jolt
#

organ harvesting operation

quartz shuttle
#

idk, seems kinda boring tbh

faint egret
#

like is it going to be in doors or out doors?

quartz shuttle
#

No, I need new ideas for drawings @faint egret

#

Not upgrade the current ideas

faint egret
#

oh k

#

er

#

theres alway tried and true tank battles

#

er

quartz shuttle
#

That's also boring, everyone does it

faint egret
#

maybe some spec ops about to lunch a nuke

#

last stand of a nuke lunch could be cool

quartz shuttle
#

I could do a meme drawing of FC being nuked

carmine jolt
#

collies looking at the sky with gaunt and horrified faces, as that conspicuous bright star starts to get closer and closer

quartz shuttle
#

I was thinking about instead, camera near the ground looking up as the nuke just exploded and people are running away

#

Maybe that's what you meant?

faint egret
#

POV of a camara on the ground in bodies as tanks role by

#

as if a reporter was killed ect and the camera kept rolling

carmine jolt
#

presscorps victim

quartz shuttle
#

That's why I didn't want to draw a tank scene... everyone does it, it's always the same

remote lynx
#

:(

carmine jolt
#

you can do something related to dead harvest

#

a guy getting pulled apart by zombies or something

quartz shuttle
#

I don't draw fast enough for it to be done by Dead Harvest

carmine jolt
#

lol same

faint egret
#

what about an execution?

quartz shuttle
#

Takes around 2 to 4 weeks to finish one drawing

faint egret
#

some war crimes

quartz shuttle
#

That's literally what happens in THIS ONE

carmine jolt
#

an intense trench assault. wardens and colonials beating each other with fists, bayonets, and maces

faint egret
#

no i mean like lined up and shot

carmine jolt
#

that's not a warcrime that's just finishing the job

quartz shuttle
#

Oh god @faint egret That's kinda...

#

idk

faint egret

im going to go to sleep tonight and be seeing that in the back of my mind

#

Man I should have recorded the process, because I myself was growing in awe as I kept adding shit

faint egret
#

lmfao

carmine jolt
#

"i see you're procrastinating again"

azure radish
buoyant crest
#

@faint egret hows process on the drawing

faint egret
#

Haveing a wee break

#

I still need to do some detailing on the clothes

#

And think about a background

buoyant crest
#

Remember colour theory when doing backgrounds!

faint egret
#

What's that?

buoyant crest
#

Lots of stuff lol

faint egret
#

Lol

buoyant crest
#

There are many methods to do backgrounds, and considering the thin line thickness of your drawing, I would rely on colour contrasts and such

#

Or perhaps blur it, if that is your vibe

#

But what my advice is is to not use greys or medium blues on your background

#

Instead, try using an oposite colour or (prolly better) a triangle on the colour wheel

#

Or you could try to get a warmth balance going. Blues, purples, grays and such are cold colours, reds, yellows and bright colours are warm colours. By striking a balance here is also interestting. You can see an example of that ob my drawing where I contrasted the character against a red background

#

It is also a lineless background, so it takes less attention than the lined foreground

faint egret
#

Hmm

#

I like the idea of warmth tbh

#

I could maybe do a sunset thing

#

Like I did for this

buoyant crest
#

Alternatifly, you could try using pastels for the background, while saturating the foreground more for an intense anΔ«mΓ³ feel

#

Perhaps the funnest is to try and combine things, like a blurred background ala gradient (which contrasts the character), with something in the midground which fits the background. The best visual example I can think of is like leaves blowing by with trees in the background; the fun of that is that you can also put the leaves on the foreground to create the ultimate depth.

faint egret
#

πŸ€”

buoyant crest
#

@faint egret that is a great example of contrasting colours

#

The ultimate question you want to answer with the background is: where is the character. And then I dont mean a place in the world, but a place in its reality. Make sure the ground (if used) matches the person, place the horizon right (if used), ask yourself if you want to create depth or perhaps place the character 'in front of a wall', or mayhaps do neither.

faint egret
#

Yeh

#

Guess I got a lot to think about

buoyant crest
#

Or just pull a (advanced) gradient like I basically did

#

This might be a lot of information at once, so do what you think is cool

#

The awesome thing about digital drawings is that you can do several iterations without the effort of redrawing the character, so make use of it!

#

Pull some random gradients or sketches on the background and see how it affects the composition

#

And above all, have fun kawaiimine

#

@faint egret so stop thinking and start doing!

quartz shuttle
#

Tbh, turtle made a good point, at least to me, when drawing on a computer, you don't need to think in advance, you can just ask yourself on the spot "Do I like this? What would make it better?" and go along with it

#

That's why a lot of drawings that I do, the first sketch are not really representative of what the final version will be

#

@faint egret

#

Don't over think it and just go with what you are feeling right there on the spot

remote lynx
#

my backgrounds are just a picture but with lots and lots of fog

I had a nap lol

I borrowed the disc from my cousin back then and played it few times... no clue what happened to the disc if either it got lost or gave it back.

@silver lintel that looks really good

#

@covert salmon why is it in the corner of such a large canvas

#

It is because of template I use, I'd post a close up but fuck the cool down

#

Here it is close up

#

I wanna do a bridge defense scene in this style with wardens fighting off the undead hoards

cyan parrot
#

That would be a cool drawing

covert salmon
#

So random thought of the day, if it existed, warden camouflage should look like Hungarian 1949m, Italian Telo Mimetico, or Hungarian 38m

pallid tangle
#

2 bad callahan's favorite color was blue

carmine jolt
#

bro.

what would a camouflage pattern do in a place where everything is snow

covert salmon
#

A. Snow camo exists
B. Useful in green parts of the world lol

carmine jolt
#

i guess it's not that hard to blend in a place that's purely blank white

covert salmon
#

Remember, AW was the caoivish captal, and the bulwar was built by the caoivish

#

So historically, wardens owned greener areas, as well, it also makes sense that in a war with a country that is based in greener areas, to develop a greener camouflage

carmine jolt
#

they wouldn't go with blue then julianlol

covert salmon
#

Meh, I think telo mimetico went well with the weird Italian blue-green-grey wool

remote lynx
#

bruh where'd those black dots come from

Probably they were added when developing these photos to cover identities of those soldiers.

That overweight part is universal everywhere

Don't see how being overweight makes you a bad person

It doesn’t necessarily, it just hurts the hobby tbh

Tbf, I guess the overweight guys who really cause problems tend to fall into the other categories

high ledge

It's a integral tactical ration storage

For WWII, the most accurate overweight impressions are either Luftwaffe high command or a tank

even tankists they require you to be somewhat fit

@olive cove very nice, do you have character background story willing to share

olive cove
#

Yeah, but I'll share a little rn, just because I'm in game right, I'll tell you the rest later. Essentially his name is Hael, he's actually my character from the previous campaign our DM did for us and this current campaign we're about to meet him because we have to kill him.

#

Actually I have some time rn to share a quickish summary of the character

quartz shuttle
olive cove
#

In the previous campaign he was a royal guardsman in charge of protecting the daughter of the Head General, but after a turn of events he is killed by the other guardsmen and is labelled a traitor to justify why they killed him, but him along with a few other people who also died at different points in history are revived and become Godchosen to carry out a specific task to ensure the safety of everyone in the known world. After they completed their task they're transported somewhere and that's all we knew about what happened to them at the time, but in the current campaign it takes place in like year 3348 and it's a space westernish campaign (kinda weird setting, but essentially the previous campaign took place on a planet in our universe) and we know we have to kill the old Godchosen which are our old characters to reverse the actions they took thousands of years ago. And he is currently the last of the four chosen alive @wicked notch

I could've gone into more detail about it, but that would be a lot and I don't wanna clutter this channel

Yeah thats the flat side
