Hi, it's been a while. If you're seeing this then it means what I'm working on is not quite done yet. You can still read my old stuff but it's probably not canon anymore. I'll try to get something up soon. It may or may not involve wizards.

Well, what is it designed to do, is it jet powered? We could salvage a reason to have it, and then say it was phased out on later versions after it's impact was considered too marginal to be worth the cost of the design, that is the added complexity. xD

Something to do with stability during vertical take off, maybe powered by an electric motor, so the engines alternator could produce enough electricity for it.

I made some rifle designs for a possible alt nation, or I might just straight-up give it to another nation.

Hubschrauber Entwürfe.

Image
This design is a mashup of the NHIndustries NH-90, Leonardo AW-159 Wildcat, and Sikorsky UH-60, I also tried to make this design similar to the HSC Attack Helicopter.

Image
I might have should read the scale first, because it looks quite big, I initially wanted it to be slightly smaller than the Bell UH-1. Overall though, this design fits the role of multipurpose helicopter, and might be used by civilian and military purposes.

Image
A militarized version of the above design, nothing really much to say about it, other than it being an "Assault Helicopter" similar to that of the Mil Mi-24 Hind, in which it serves as both troop transport and combat purposes.

How much will it approximately cost to commission someone to make me a sideview of an MBT?

This is merely a question about how much stuff usually costs I am not trying to get anyone to buy anything from me pls no ban

I imagine it depends on the artist, but no one here does commissions or anything because they draw things for themselves, not as a job. There are some guys on DA or ArtStation. You might contact "Tippercommon"/"BCMatsuyama" who does commission drawings possibly, but I think he's busy with his job of illustrating his website, but he's about the only person I can think of who would do commissions off the top of my head that isn't gone from the NS space entirely. The entity known as "Chin" who I don't know his NS nation name for some reason commissioned a side view of a tank and a helicopter though. So if anything you might ask him. "Korva" probably knows as I don't think he's totally scatterbrained like me.

You can also just try drawing stuff and posting it here tbh. The guy who made these threads originally wasn't exactly the Rembrandt of lineart, so you shouldn't feel discouraged to post even relatively primitive drawings or anything. It's not like people will judge you for it, we only judge people who buy commissioned arts (like "Chin") and even then that's limited to saying "commish" or "who drew this one" when they post a new picture. The only way you'll improve is by doing it after all.

This is what my first lineart looked like:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wqsxcs1d27fuh ... .png?raw=1

A dumb tank that looks like a Black Eagle without the bustle because IDK electric guns that I drew in a high school class instead of paying attention.

This is what my second (actual) lineart looked like:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/dog4pwr8rv2zd ... .png?raw=1

Which I traced (poorly) from an image of a Strf 90 when trying to draw a Strf 90. It's not my actual second lineart, which was either an attempt to draw the hand drawn image in pixel form (I traced a highly shrunk version but never finished it) or a giant landship esque tank. Both are gone so it's not important.

This is what happens when I try to freehand a gun:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/4xsqe9x7jtq6i ... .png?raw=1
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fprym24kfbn8h ... .png?raw=1

This is what it looked like a year later after a few redrafts and using a FAL or G3 as a tracing aid to get the proportions right:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/d0p0m8qi427n3 ... .png?raw=1

This is something I drew a while ago:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ukc8kvhg9xv7t ... .png?raw=1

...to replace the big chungus G3-FAL thing.

It took a while. Something like a year on and off to get it right. There's a huge gap between the first guns and the M16 thing, although I guess you can see shades of M16 in the "EM2" thing.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/8yp1xbz3owx1f ... .png?raw=1

This is why. I was busy going "bigger is better" and actually attempted to draw a tank at a scale of like...1px:1mm or something dumb.

It started like this...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/5p73kddxsiu93 ... .png?raw=1

Somehow I drew this in GIMP...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ef0e7ejd6y92q ... .png?raw=1

And then it got to here...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/rz7ur3bm5vihj ... .png?raw=1

But I eventually stopped because it was too big, obviously. So I went back and shrunk the tank and the gun back down to "normal" manageable drawing size and realized dithering exists.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/8ydm3rf5ti4u6 ... .png?raw=1

That led to this. It was mostly helped by having a scaled drawing of an M16 to draw against to keep my mental proportions in check and dithering tbh. And having a lot of free time so my addled brain can draw a few pixels every day. If you want a protip you can find various three-views or "blueprint" drawings of tanks and smush them together in GIMP or MSPaint (the new one in W10) or Paint.net by gathering a big collection of them, taking bits from them, and copy/pasting it into something that looks nice. Then just trace that. It's good to try to keep them all the same size in scale but it's not very important.

FWIW pixel art is also cheaper than buying actual miniatures too:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/zbfc0o7v63c6v ... .png?raw=1
https://www.dropbox.com/s/u6am0h90ece70 ... .png?raw=1

Basically what I'm saying is no one starts out good and everyone has bad linearts at first because it's a skill that requires practice to develop. Don't look at pictures like Korva's and think he started out like that. Dude started out drawing JuniorGeneral things like this: http://i.imgur.com/oIdmzu3.png

OTOH I guess if you don't have free time or have a lot of money (aren't these the same?) you can spend a commission for NSRP but I'd honestly just use a photograph or something.
