Finito!
First in a series of commision pieces for a client's RPG universe. I must say that I do enjoy getting paid for things I'd draw normally.

There's even light reflecting off his face from the binoculars... man. Elsewhere the lighting seems... muted, somehow, but the vibe I get from this is that it's like one of those slightly faded wartime photographs you get in historical textbooks. Except as you alluded to the grunt in question is part Imperial Guardsmen, part Russian Infantry :P
Especially that you left it slightly desaturated... I can never stop myself from super-saturating everything, but the faded colours work wonderfully here.
My only nitpick is the perspective on the gun - I'm not sure what's the matter with it but it looks... slightly bent?... on first impression. I wish I could express it more clearly but I'm not sure how to put it into words.
Still, wonderful work!
The boots look a little flat compared to the rest of the piece, I guess because they have so little detail on them and the rest is really busy. Also they are hella clean. Make em muddy!
only downside now is that i want to see more of them.

I think he means hardcopy
Also, Super inspiring as usual McGibbs. Can't wait till I gradumate and start drawing again, all this inspiration's going to make me explosion like zergling if I don't do something artsy soon.

Level 2 means the pinnacle of human achievement- level 5 would be, like, the Galactus of art (he's still a few gallery crawls away from that).
Nonetheless, really, really cool. I've been checking this out in the doodle thread. Can't wait to see the rest (oh, you'd better'd post them).
Post some more stuff, I really love your style.
This is 100% photoshop It's just for a guy's personal rpg universe that he plays with his friends, not a comercial game.
If you email me real nice and send me some paypal lovin, I might mail some just for you. I really need to get my website store set up...
Its actually my year in art school. So I guess I'm level 3 now.

Or that the gun is tilted ever so slightly to the right, so you can see a little bit of the side of the front grip.
So, not an entirely original concept, but theyre fun to draw.
I pretended he was saying the line from Elmer Fudd, and just started laughing. "I'm huntin' wabbits" Nice work Gibbs. Too talented for your own good. I'll be lucky if I'm half as good at twice your age.
The lenses/muzzle holes look too circular when you look at how far down the gun seems to be pointing. They look like they should be flatter, vertically, so that they sync with how he's holding it. I dunno, maybe it's just me, but it looks like we're seeing too much of the front of the weapon.
Other than that, it looks super. Looking forward to the final colored piece.
