In case you don't know, soldiers are trained to use pistols two-handedly. You know, it creates a more stable firing platform, and reduces felt recoil. The sprite itself is pretty good, but the camo looks like the new digital stuff, not the old-style BDU's. Depends on what you're going for. Also, she should recoil a TON more from shooting even a service pistol, although magnums aren't service pistols in the first place. Heck, a .32 pocket pistol would recoil more than that. Make her arms lift up, not push back. Guns recoil backwards and up, but pistols mainly recoil up. Yes, I would know, as I've shot the Big Three service pistol calibers- 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP, and I've also shot .22 revolvers. (On which the trigger pull moved my arm more than the recoil  )EDIT: That sniper rifle looks a lot like a XM-8... |

The reason it looks like she's holding the gun in the middle is because she is. It's a bullpup design, meaning the clip is behind the grip. Here, lemme get you a clearer picture:  I know holding a pistol in two hands makes it more accurate. However, when you have something in the other hand, it makes it kinda difficult to do so. (I realize there's nothing in her other hand yet; unfinished sprite and whatnot) The sniper rifle...I don't really see much resemblance to the XM-8. The experimental rifle is a lot thinner and the magazine is longer, and the bullets are shorter. The sniper rifle's bullets are a lot longer. It also doesn't have a grip like the XM-8's. |

Yes, the main thing that resembled the XM-8 (which, if you are saying it is, it isn't completely experimental anymore, as a small amount of troops have been outfitted with them for field trials, unless you consider that experimental) to me was the foregrip, but the rest vaguely resembles it, at least to me. Kinda reminds me of a Dragunov to AK relationship between the XM-8 and the gauss. Like how the Dragunov was scaled up to fire the 7.62X54R (don't ask me what that means, I just know the cartridge name on that one  )Yeah, I know what the bullpup design is, however I couldn't derive that from the picture. Nice idea for a handgun, although .357 magnum... that is a bad choice for shooting people, as a 9mm and upwards will kill most people instantly with a single, correctly-placed shot, and will not recoil nearly as much as a .357. Also, the .357 magnum was made for hunting deer, and if you know about deer, you would know that a deer is a huge amount tougher than a person. For deer, a .223 is too light, as even if you shoot the animal correctly, it will certainly take a long time to kill the animal (excluding shots to the spine,) meaning excessive suffering for the animal. Also, you could end up blood-tracking a deer a third of a mile. But, if a person is correctly shot with a .223, they will almost never do anything except fall, and will usually die in the time it takes them to hit the ground. Wow, long post. Just me being nit-picky I guess. |

The foes combatted by most Royal Marines are aliens protected by a self-repairing biomechanical exoskeleton that can repel most small-arms fire, like this beautiful specimen: That's why weapons like Gauss Rifles(the sniper rifle being one of such weapons) and high-caliber weapons are employed en masse. It also helps for the penetration of lightly armoured vehicles. As to why firing a .357 gun one-handed isn't tearing her arm off, I'm going with the 'it's in the future' explanation. A thousand years from now, I'll wager we'll have found a way to dampen recoil. Oh, and here's an updated version of the drawing:

I have a way to dampen recoil. It uses twice as much gunpowder, though, and might cause you to end up with a bullet in your shoulder. Yeah. Two projectiles firing at the same time should cancel each other out.

I think the main problem with your sprite is the fact that the whole arm and hand are the same width. To me it looks like a fat stick shrinking on one end with a metal tip. No offense... |

Hm. I'll see what can be done about that. |

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA (you can't just say lol to that)The face on the pencil drawing doesn't look to feminine. I can understand what your talking about what with the cup size and all but... maybe if you work on the face a little bit... and what if her hair was just tied back in a pig-tail? |

Well...I been ever so slightly busy here. During the intervening time between posts, I drew a ship by the name of Flawless, and I yesterday, I began to model it in GMAX. Here are the results:  Model is roughly 50% completed. I doubt that I'll get time today, but tomorrow or the next day, I'll see about completing it. |

I'd say it's 30% done since many things on the model look nothing like the drawing (command tower, prongs fore and aft, too wide and blocky). To whom does this ship belong anyway? |

Uh...me? Are you talking about intellectual property, or alligience within its universe? 'Cause for the second one, it's a Human Destroyer-Flagship. The prongs have been fixed, but the other changes are design shifts that acompany putting it into a 3D environment, especially with a modeler like me who's less-than-veteran. EDIT: And here she is, Flawless in all her glory, completed but for a texture:
