I believe you, they just look flat chested is all (not necessarily a bad thing, mind you).

I think some shading around the upper torso might not be a bad idea, but that's just me.

I'm redoing it in senscale, so the issue will be rectified in that version.

I used a strong left side light source so you wouldn't really be able to see that kind of shading anyway.

They look like they're all giving disapproving stares :O

I will draw one up tomorrow, unless you'd rather I wait for the more modern ones.

Edit: Four mags each would probably be fitting for a 70s army, though I imagine they'd double up in the field.

It's hard to get facial expressions right in 1px:1cm. Compare my other examples. Still, it's better than that demonic Gnome thing. *shudders*

Yeah, you can draw one up when you get a chance, since I probably won't have the modern version for a while.

EDIT: And just for nostalgia's sake, while looking for those examples I came across my previous uniform lineart, in what appears to be 2px:1cm.

I've been working on a Sevvanian interwar-era tank inspired by multi-turret designs like the Russian T-28 and the German Neubaufahrzeug:

Sports a 35mm cannon and rear-facing 7.62x54mmR machine gun in the main turret, with another MG in a secondary turret offset to the side of the driver's viewport. Beyond that, I'm not really sure.

WWII-era Tank destroyer based on the French SaU-40 Assault Gun prototype (Or rather, taking a SaU-40 and modifying it). Would remove the turret with the 47mm gun for a smaller profile and an MG-42. It mounts a 76mm AT gun to counter Soviet armor. Imperial Blue & grey-white winter camouflage pattern, too.

Original SaU-40 is here: http://www.juniorgeneral.org/JClick.php?UID=7029

It's a nice one, too. Not a lot of love for WWII French prototypes that never took off due to German occupation. My TD variant would be a domestic model produced to support the Axis since France couldn't be trusted or produce the tank anyway.

Incidentally, it is. Though at the time, I didn't know that, so I made my own 1px:1cm template from a scaled-down version of whatever this is

Mind if I use those for general sizing of my own templates? I've been meaning to do one in the same scale but just can't get the time to these days.
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.



The above post contains hyperbole, metaphoric language, embellishment and exaggeration. It may also include badly translated figures of speech and misused idioms. Analyze accordingly.

Sure, go ahead. In fact, here's the "clean" version you can use as a template. You might have to make it a bit taller, though, since I think this was derived from the 1933 soldier and I made that one below average (168cm?) to account for malnourishment. Nothing a little select-copy-move-paste here and there can't fix, though.
