#M40A5

[seafoamsol]

Tracing for fun (?) from Transformers Galaxies #6, for a friend, it seems. If I got traced art from a friend I think I’d drop them. But that’s whatever because

Bruh not SPECIFICALLY the ghost recon M40A5 render… why is the person gripping it by the bipod 😭 PLEASE

Edit: a friend noted, since that this image is flipped, the bolt handle (because this is a bolt action rifle) is on the wrong side. Incredible

Hey, different post than usual, but this is just a PSA for people who may follow or have purchased anything from @/kagebros, or are looking to join any of the zines run by them @/allsparkzines. They have a history (and present) of tracing for profit.

I don’t think this one requires an overlay. It’s a trace of the yolopark bumblebee shockwave model kit promotional image, as a “sketch”.

Which they changed, once people noticed it! Changed most of it. They traced a different promotional image for the gun, which remained largely the same, even in the final piece (right).

Their matching Optimus Prime poster is a trace of the still from a [ Paramount promo video ], 36 seconds in.

There are several other examples that I can’t fit into this post without making it overly long, but if you have purchased or have been gifted anything from them, there is a chance it has been traced.

Regarding tracing as a tool:

Go hogwild! Trace all you want! Tracing is a very useful tool for learning shapes and forms, but like any other tool, it’s only useful if you use it correctly. The ultimate goal of tracing is to understand. It’s training wheels. Just don’t hide and lie about it, because as soon as you do, it becomes plagiarism.

Even within the finished versions of the Shockwave poster, it’s still clear where parts have been traced or copied without understanding. It’s a shame, because transformers as a franchise having so many toys makes it very easy to make references!

Here's an example of how I use them:

Luckily for me, the Cybertron toys and models are more or less exactly the same. I don't own the toys, so I have two images from a [ toy reviewer ] on top. Many angles to help me understand exactly what's happening. Granted, I could just ask my friend who does own the toy for him in the same pose, but tracing over that directly would make it too stiff and it wouldn't mesh with my style.

TL;DR: Kage traces, blindly and without disclosure, for profit.

Looking pretty sweet, got the base SSG-24 moved into the M40A3 stock, added the accessory rail to convert into an M40A5 style rifle. Coupled with my @vortexoptics Crossfire II Scope looking good to go for the weekend. Trying to decide if I want to drop some @gearskin.eu multicam wrap on any part of the stock or barrel to break up the shape. - #airsoft #airsoftobsessed #airsoftgear #ssg24 #m40a3 #m40a5 #airsoftgun #airsoftguns #airsoftsniper #airsofter #airsoftworld #airsoftinternational #airsoftnation #airsoftuk #ukairsoft #airsoftcommunity https://www.instagram.com/p/BojRUkNAb7P/?igshid=13zkojg60c9mj

     After a long night shift and a quick nap, Dorian wandered into the mess hall, his M40A5 slung over his shoulder and a small bag of tools in his other hand. Weapon maintenance was an important part of survival for him. ‘If you treat your weapon right, it’ll save your life.’ The voice of his old quartermaster rang through his head as he plopped down at a table, slowly beginning to take apart the weapon, making sure to wipe down and oil every piece as it came off. 

     Tinkering with guns was something that always brought Dorian peace. It was his way of making sure that he wasn’t going to get fucked over by his own weapon in the event of an emergency. He glanced at the stock of his gun, a small grin appearing on his face as he ran his thumb over the motto of his platoon that had been etched into it, ‘one shot, one kill.’ He missed being in the marine corps, but the reality was that this was his life now, and he was just going to have to deal with it. Quietly humming classic rock songs to himself as he worked, each time the door of the mess hall swung open he looked up to meet the eyes of whoever had entered, offering a small wave or smile of acknowledgment.

「お前、相変わらずウザイ」

「うるせぇよ」

お互いが睨み合う。

1人は鎌を構え、

1人は銃を構え、

一気に飛び出した。

……………………

「あ"ーくっそ！また負けかよ！」

「最後毎回隙があるんだよノイズ」

大の字になって倒れてるノイズの横にノアが呆れ顔で座る。

「普通鎌の方が強くね？！なんで俺銃使いのお前に負けるんだ？！���

(数秒前の会話まで忘れているのか此奴…)

ジトリと相手を見てため息をつく。

「ノイズは何でそんなに鎌を大きくするの？」

「あ？カッコイイから」

「強さの考えはないのね」

ノアは自分の手に持っている銃を前に出す。

「俺の銃は2種類あるだろ？ハンドガンに、ライフル。もしもお前とまた戦う時ライフルにしたら流石に俺が負ける。それはどうしてだと思う？」

少し目を瞑りんーと悩みノイズ答える。

「リロード時間とか、長さで俺が鎌で武器を投げられるから？」

「まあだいたい正解。ライフルは当てられれば強い武器だ。けどそれは確実に当てられれば。だったらコンパクトで弾数の多いハンドガンの方がいい」

ノアは銃を見つめ言えば、今度はノイズの鎌を見る。

「ノイズ、俺はさっき最後毎回隙があると言ったよな。"最後"はなんだと思う」

ノイズは自分の鎌を見て、自分の動きを見直す。そしてハッと気付かされる。

「……振り下ろした後、背中を向けてる」

「敵に背中を向けたら？」

「殺られる」

そういうこと、と銃をしまい立ち上がる。

「お前の鎌は伸縮自在だろ。だったら無駄に大きくして無駄に動くのもアホくさい。カッコ良さは必ず勝てる相手だと思った時にやればいい」

じゃ、俺戻るねと言って歩き出す。

「ノア！」

ノイズは大きな声を出してノアを止める。

「ありがとな。またリベンジさせろよ？」

ニカッと笑みを浮かびながら言うノイズを見て、ノアは微笑み、また歩き出した。

「何度もくじけながらも前に進む。それがお前の強さなんだろうな。ノイズ」

ー俺はそんなこと、もう出来ないけどな。

ということで、お久しぶりです。

勢いで書いたノアとノイズの話です。

ノイズの戦闘訓練に付き合わされるノアのお話。

ちなみにノアはハンドガンとライフルガン、そして腰に護身用でナイフを持ってます。

ハンドガン→GLOCK18C

ライフルガン→M40A5

これはえいようざいの好きな銃だからです!!

少しサバゲーをやっていたので知識を使いました。

ノイズは伸縮自在の鎌を使います。黒色のまあ死神の使う鎌をイメージして頂ければ嬉しいです。いつもは腰にキーホルダーみたいに付けています。

戦闘シーンを上手く表せれるようにしたいですね。
