Description Another great BishopSteiner sketch showing a Shadowhawk bracing to fire its autocannon. Not at all lore, but it gives a sense of strength that just isn't there if it were standing. The flexing of the arms make you think "oh damn, brace those abs" as the autocannon fires a burst of shells because that's what us fleshy humans would need to do.

I didn’t pick a specific color scheme when coloring it because I couldn’t make up my mind what I wanted to do with it. As a result, I started with what I knew: the muzzle flash and mud spatter. And then it just sort of flowed from there.
