MS Paint is easier to make lines and stuff though.

Because I don't know how to make one-pixel lines on Gimp or Photoshop. :p I've never had to do it.

Alright, I tried doing a quick lineart of the main Voldovian service rifles of 1935-2013. Criticism is extremely welcome.

And yes, the bottom gun normally has a 30 round magazine, but every time I tried to make the curve, it got screwed up.

No for a first try it's actually really good. I might suggest doing them with a much larger scale in the future though. That way they avoid the funky looking MS paint style lines.

See what I mean?
