My Soldier Update (or Rim-Fire is practicing drawing)

[ríomhaire]

So I had this idea for a fake soldier update in the form of a MEN IN UNIFORM magazine. I may still do that, but to be honest first I just want to practice some drawing and share my ideas, so I'm just going to put up each pic as I finish them and them. So, the idea is, as well as the normal three weapons, the Soldier is getting three new hats and three new outfits.

But also I've had another idea. The idea is to divide each class' primary weapon (the rocket launcher in this case) into two slots with different parts avaible for each. I've come up with three (seems to be the magic number) different parts for each slot (not counting the default rocket launcher parts). That means overall 8 different parts for the rocket launcher to pick from.

Anyway, here's my first drawing, showing the first outfit, hat and first two parts for the rocket launcher.

I know it's no masterpiece, but that's why I'm practicing.

Reload after each shot is gonna hurt rocket jumping a lot.

I don't understand the Airbourne's purpose, is it just a visual?
Maybe with all the pockets, it could double as a fall slower

Yeah, the outfit is purely visual, just like the hats.

Nice drawing man. That style of drawing would look awesome in a comic-like little series

The reason I haven't finished this yet is because I lost the pen to my tablet for ages. I found it again and I have the second set of stuff drawn. Just one more and I'll put everything up (I also changed the first one a little).

And thank's very much for the complement Synthos, but my drawing skill still needs a lot more leveling up

First person to identify all the loot gets a cookie (there's one from all eight other classes).

Heheh, critzshreck.

You've given this a lot of thought.

Loot that I've spotted: Scout's dog tags, HWG cartridge belt, demoman's grenade belt

 

[Omnomnick]

The grenade idea will never ever happen. Apart from that some of the other stuff like the Evil hat looks silly but I guess the other things are ok.

 

[ríomhaire]

Evil hat didn't come out very well. It's supposed to be a cross between a german WWII helmet and Darth Vader's helmet.

 

[Sheepo]

Definitely should've just gone with Dark Helmet.

 

[ríomhaire]

That would have changed the Soldier's silhouette far too much.

 

[Sheepo]

That would have been far too awesome.

I agree.
