+1 for the .30-06

It is a classic round. ^_^

I wish I could draw the fictional weapon designs I made up this good. Sadly, I'm severely lacking when it comes to that skill. Either way this looks awesome. :D

Thank you!

Well, with practice and patience I'm sure you can! ^_^

You're welcome. ^^
Maybe I can, but I'm not sure it's my talent... Though I AM working at singing, composing, and writing, and videos. I've done 3 of those things, 2 of them have actually been seen by other people... But I can try. Know any sure way to keep hands from shaking when drawing? Because that's my main problem. I'm fine when it comes to doing most things, but writing or drawing my hand starts shaking for no reason. That's why I'm good at typing and sorry for dumping a wall of text on you. XD

It's no problem!

And that sounds cool! It's good to keep a variety of talents.

As for tips, first off it's keeping a positive mindset. Shaky hands, while true a bit of a hindrance for drawing straight lines is something that can be ironed out with practice and in some cases can look just as good as any other artwork. As long as you keep at it and draw because you enjoy it, you'll reach that point. ^_^

as for physical tips, try drawing from the shoulder, and then use the wrist for finer details. when you draw from the shoulder, you'll have more freedom and looseness when drawing big or small, and you'll be less sore in the wrist and knuckles. If you can work a balance in using your shoulder and wrist, it'll help you out a lot.

Another tips would be to trace from real life, whether from photos or line drawings. While tracing to copy another artist's work and claiming it as your own idea is most definitely art theft, using another person's artwork for practice and reference is a great helper. Many great artists look at other's for inspiration.

Hope this helps somewhat! ^_^

Thank you for the tips, more than I asked for, thank for them. ^^ I might have a solution for the shakyness that is near, if not perfect, but it prevents drawing with a stylus. An image editing software I use is known as GIMP, and it has a free select. With the free select, single clicks will place a point, so you could say, define an irregular object, then you can just go crazy with pencil to color it in. I did that for warthunder userskins.

Anyway, thanks, and don't worry about art theft, I don't like it at all, and I believe it's better to help other people. I may not be popular, but if I DO use other artwork for reference, I'll definitely include credit and a link, and if I have watchers who don't know them, I could always introduce them to hidden gems like your own art (from this and the pics in the little bar under the pic)

Keep up the good work. ^^

Make me think a lot about that good old MAS 36

Funnily enough, that's actually what this particular weapon's based on! well, minus the coilgun mechanism and other bits and pieces. XD

Gun nut inside, sorry

Nothing to be sorry about! =D

Reminds me a bit of the Mosin Nagant rifle to some extent minus the tranquilizer rounds used for ammunition.

It's actually based more on the MAS-36 rifle. But now that I think about it, the bolt design does look like the Mosin-Nagant. ^_^

My fav <3

Glad to hear that. =D

My only critique would be to move the scope mount to be offset from right above the magazine. Unless you're OK with single-loading rounds into the magazine, you won't be able to use stripper clips with the scope in place. Hope this helps. ^^

Ahh just saw that it has a loading gate on the bottom. Never mind what I said then. :P

Yeah I though about that particular problem with the scope in the way, but glad you thought about it though! ^_^

Its a futuristic MAS 36

It's really a dieselpunk version of the MAS-36, though same difference I suppose. ^_^

Another awesome piece! ^_^ How does the EM Coil factor into its operation? I thought Railgun at first, but it uses a 30-06 round? I love how it looks like the bastard child of a Mas-36 and a nerf Longstrike, with a bit of uncle PTRS thrown in (that loading gate). And I mean all of this sincerely! It looks functional, believable, and yet suitably dressed-up!

Thanks! Well from what the client described, the .30-06 round utilizes it's own propellant, but the EM coils around the barrel accelerates the round tenfold. The larger variant was designed to make infantry rounds capable of piercing tank armor. ^_^

So it's a hybrid? sweet. I think a more specialist type of 30-06 would be necessary to survive that, but i love it! So the carbine-sized one is the standard, and the larger one is the specialist version?

Fascinating, truly amazing.

How much this cost? Looking for decent weapon designers ^^
