SGM5500 Magical Faceshooting Mangrinding Snowflake

Now that I've just fulfilled my short term "I've always wanted to do this." goal, here's a new piece of artwork from me - the result of aforementioned "I've always wanted to do this." goal!

This time, I gave design readability and recognizable silhouettes a much bigger attention compared to my last design as well as concentrating more on rendering the materials on the gun. It's definitely still not 'photo-realistic' no, but it's an 800% step ahead from my last attempt! All painted in Adobe Photoshop, starting from a ridiculously rough El Coro style sketch I made (as in blobby stacks of straight lines), which took two days on-and-off to detail thus far!

The most obvious point above all else here however was to put embarrassing MANLY decals on the weapon! YAY! Also, viewing this goes well with some Borderlands music! [link]

In any case, I hope to continue drawing a little more often... something I've said for probably the fifth time in a row but being unable to keep up with it...
