Well not much but here is a sample of what I can do.


It took me just over two hours to make this. This is how I envision my Squad Leader in a drawing. There is steam coming out of the muzzle of the XENO after shots are fired and smoke from the horizon. Probably from one of the guy's grenades. I tried to make the Combat Knife a little battle damaged. That small rectangular box in the guy's right leg is the M23 Pistol. And you can barely see it, but there is a Lightly Packed Medical Kit on the guy's back. Well, time to draw some more and hopefully get a comparison shot. And if I could draw something from Mold 3, I'll draw a Spartan II holding the BA-M5 and the BA-M6.

Hey! Not bad Ballistic Eagles! Kinda reminds me of Snake-Eyes from GI Joe. Bravo! :)

Dub it like tovarisch would!

awesome posing, and good detail too. Overall pretty good Ballistic Eagles!

If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

Great sketch Ballistic Eagles! I like how you drew the Xeno.

The XENO took the longest time to make. I tried to make all the proportions right wile keeping as much detail as possible. Then the steam from the muzzle was hard. One reason was because at first it was drawn lightly. But it didn't show up on the screen so I just kept refining it until I got it perfect.

This is great! The Xeno is fantastic, and I love the pose! It's got an overall feel of total of bad[att]itude, which is awesome.

The only thing I'm not keen on is the face... I can't really tell what's going on there. I see a visor and helmet, but where's the rest of his face? Balaclava? Shadowed? Helmeted as well? It seems like that could be more clear.

Nevertheless, it's a great drawing!

The simple answer is yes. There is a balaclava concealing his face. Here's a shot of him with the another Squad Member

Now really, I love your depiction of the Xeno. It just shows that the hard work from trying to get the proportions right pays dividends. Fantastic!

Time to nab some A4 paper...

That's a really awesome drawing, man. I'm trying to draw some cool minifigs like that, but I need some help. I PM'ed you a while you.

What's A4 paper? Just regular blank paper? Not lined like notebook paper?

That's right.

For drafts, any old bit of paper will do, but regular blank paper straight from the printer is recommended for your final.
