What I'm saying is that the FGR uses the same scale from top to bottom as well as from front to back. There also needs to be a comfortable margin in the trigger guard, since soldiers will operate with gloves on. If it was actually shorter it would be the same height, but shorter on the barrel or the stock..

My rifle isn't as high as the FGR because It uses a smaller round and a simpler firing mechanism, It's not because I didn't draw it to scale from top to bottom.

I fixed the trigger guard. Unless the user is wearing oven mitts or has very fat fingers, he should be able to fit his finger in there.

Cool, no one on NS of my knowledge has done a mortar on PMG before.


I think at this point it's getting ridiculous. I understand using PMG to make guns, but I've seen a freaking tank made in PMG. Old PMG, at that. There has to be a point where you decide enough is enough and just find a picture of something.
Overall these are pretty good. Mortar shells could use some work, though.

Thanks.

On another site we do PMG contests almost daily. Today was mortars, and I figured my military could use a squad level mortar anyhow.

@ Indeos - Why not make your own stuff? Its fun and looks better than some picture IMO. And the shells were difficult to do, I wish I could have done more with them.

I've seen Chally 2's made on the PMG flickr pool.

Although this is the first time I've seen a very detailed mortar.

I'm not trying to bash you for making stuff, I use PMG for guns, I just haven't posted one in forever. I'm probably going to Fantasy tech anyway, that fits better with what I can write. I just think it's ridiculous the amount of effort some people have put into PMG to make non-guns, because at some point it becomes easier to just learn lineart and draw it, and that looks better than 90% of PMG things.

Well, I don't even know what to do lineart on, and I'm decent with PMG, and can edit them in paint if they need blended or something.



@ everyone - How are the stats? Hows the anti-tank missile look?

Lineart is done with usually MSPaint(notable examples being Lyras, Questers, and Senestrum) or Paint.NET(Sumer, Amastol for first drafts), but some people do it in Photoshop(Agrandov, Amastol's final drafts) or Adobe Illustrator(Etoile Arcture).

Yeah, there is no way I could ever do a whole gun in paint that would look near as good as PMG.

What

With some practice you can. It's daunting at first but you'll soon get the hang of it. Trust me, it's exactly what I was thinking when I did my first linearts

If they can do it, so can you. Hell, I can probably do it, if I practice a lot. Amastol's are probably the best I've seen, and they look like concept art for a video game or something.

Right now I'm happy with PMG. I'm sure within a few weeks its limits will bore me, and I'll try. But still, the shading and other affects on PMG is just amazing, at least on most parts.

I manage it. And I'm blind.

Allanea: Wanting to avoid fighting Lyras' fuck-huge military is also a reasonable IC consideration

TPF: Who is stupid enough to attack a Lyran convoy?

Sumer: Honestly, I'd rather face Doom's military with Doom having a 3-1 advantage over me, than take a 1-1 fight with a well-supplied Lyran tank unit.

Kinsgard: RL Lyras is like a real life video game character.

Ieperithem: Eighty four. Eighty four percent of their terrifyingly massive GDP goes directly into their military. And they actually know how to manage it. It's safe to say there isn't a single nation that could feasibly stand against them if they wanted it to die.

Still, only some of the very best line art rivals good PMG work, so I don't know if its worth my time.
