German coloring


The German trench raider is historically accurate in coloring, but I played around with the shoulder pauldrons and gave them a copper like feel.  Not sure if that would have been very helpful to a German in the trenches, but it looks cool!

Might go for a more "boiled" leather look next time.  Also, his giant padded gloves are a little too hidden.

Second option

This is more of a late-war color scheme but I added a little of my own style into it.  Also, the armor is more "boiled" leather than metal.  It's amazing what just a different color and a change of texturing can do :)

Two color options

New attempt at coloring the French soldier.  This color scheme is more historically accurate, but the armor is more of a heavy tin type material (early, early tin :))

Armée de Terre

French light machine gunner.  Heavy armor.

Austro-Hungarian grenadier

The armor is not as heavy on this guy but he is still a front-line soldier.  Gas mask technology has advanced since the early days of the war.

Alternate History

I spent tonight drawing this German soldier from an "alternate" universe.  Basically, World War One never ended and sort of merged what would be WW2 technology.  I plan to do a few more in this series, maybe some vehicles.

939

Another practice for my Project 939 comic.  The figures are just a quick lighting exercise and not drawn very well.

Project 939

Quick rendering of a building from the comic I am writing/drawing.  It takes place in 1981 at my old university and most of these buildings no longer exist, so I'm trying to figure out the correct look.

Tie Bomber Pilot

This is a design I've wanted to do for a long time.  It's a different take on the Tie Fighter pilot flight suit, but for a Tie Bomber pilot.  I based it on WWII bomber pilot designs and may tweak with a larger coat and different ammo carry.  Part two coming up soon :)
