This is a pencil/pen drawing I started on I know it is not porn but I draw other things too you know :P. This is the Panzerjäger (Tank Hunter) Panther or the Jagdpanther (hunting Panther) it was a self propelled gun designed to knock out enemy armour at a distance. Germany would mount large guns on preexisting vehicle chassis that would not accept larger cannons due to the turret so they would be mounted in a superstructure with no turret allowing the use of larger guns. Initially chassis of captured light tanks were used after turrets were removed, providing a cost-effective solution to German shortage of mobile anti-tank weapons. They did this to alot of vehicles that became ineffective for frontline combat if they could not mount a larger gun they would modify the tank and make it a SPG or tank killer. The Jagdpanther was built and designed as a tank killer from the start. Built on a modified Panther chassis armed with the deadly 88mm PaK43 cannon it could knock out any tank it encountered and was very effective. Sometimes entire Allied convoys as well as troop and armor movements were halted by just a few Jagdpanthers. The tank hunter could engage targets at long range well out of the range of most of the Allied tanks they would also typically be well hidden or camouflaged making it difficult to take them out. The Jagdpanther had good strong sloped frontal armor which could deflect just about all of the Allied antitank shells. The Jagdpanther was also pretty quick and mobile but this comes at the expense of armor on the sides and rear just like the turreted version it had 50mm of sloped armor on the sides and 40 mm in the rear but considering it fights with its front to the enemy its not an issue unless it gets flanked. All in all it is a very effective tank hunter and it is one of my many favorite pieces of German armor and it is my favorite tank destroyer. Sorry for the history lesson but I felt giving information about the vehicle was a little bonus besides I find this kind of stuff very interesting. Anyways hope everyone likes it this took a long time to do in pencil and pen. The pen shading mainly took most of the time.

The jagdpather a German tank destroyer make to fit the Panzerjägerkanone 43 in an armored housing with sufficient engine power and space as compared to its previous counterparts such as the Sd.Kfz. 164 Nashorn and the Panzerjäger Tiger (P) Ferdinand, it was used for mostly to counter spear heads and as an infantry support unit.
