A piece from a few years back. The big trick with this piece was that at the time I had no good top views of a HK PSG1 rifle. I had side views but they were small images and did not provide with a clear details of a scope, scopemount, and more importantly the small tripod that attached to the rail on the foreend. Eventually I found online a HK manual that should the weapon in line art which is sometimes more useful than photographic images. I also wanted to give the feeling of her at the range with a full shooters kit. Range box, soft gun case, binoculars, shooters mat, range log, saftey gear and ammo holder. Meduim is color pencil with some marker, gouache, and micron pen.

Don't worry about it. I'm looking for constructive feedback when I post not just ego grooming. Being a professional artist requires having some fairly heavy hide on your pride or else it will get ripped to shreds! Besides I've received far more critical and often much more abusive evaluations from other so called "professionals" than fans. There is a school of thought that runs in the art world of treating artists like shit on purpose. This Spartan-like logic seems to be that it will weed out the ones that aren't really serious about it and will leave only the truly committed artists. While I do believe that artists sometimes get too much of free ride just they are "artists" I don't believe that one has to go out of their way just to be an asshole! Well that's my two cents.
The only things that bug me about this pic is that the depicted ammo looks very small and that the spent casings are so close to the shooter; the PSG1 has a habit of launching casings several yards. Other than that it looks great!
Thats one way to bring two weapons onto the range. :P You're on one heck of a precision rifle posting spree.

You have a valid point with your observation about the brass being too neatly piled uder the rifle. I personal had an experience at the range with a fellow who had a HK91. The guy was two stations down but his rifle ejected the brass with such enthusasism that they sailed over his partition and the one inbetween and came raining down in my station. I became painfully aware of this when hot brass started finding its way down my T-shirt! In this case remember that this is a staged photo-shoot. In fact in that world Rosemary has been a Dillon Blue Press Girl several times. The case should be ok since I used some actually fired brass for reference.
