Description
The result of almost 6 days of work, Lots of work, effort and semi-sleepless nights were poured into this project, references were used for various things, such as the equipment and weather condition. (That's more or less how my neighborhood looks now when I take walks outside!) The background is a tad messy but I can't be bothered anymore. '~'From left to right: MCpl. David Evanson, the gunner, Sgt. Véronique Tremblay, the commander, Tpr. Sonia langley, the loader and finally Tpr. Patrick Gagnon, the driver.
Big thanks to
for his help on the dirt and oil stains
for his help with CF equipment and gear in general
As well as most of the folks who hanged around my stream for general tricks and tips!
You can interpret it as the updated version of this 1 year+ old drawing!

Same 'ole Leopard 2 (2A4M/2A6M) vehicle crew from the Lord Strathcona's Horse Regiment (Royal Canadians), that may I have, perhaps, neglected for a while. That was the first time where I tried to design characters seriously. Still a big WIP though. *.*

Excellent work man! I love how you brought the desolate, brutal and misery filled look of Wainwright to life. I can feel the shivers of doing midnight OPs near Blue Route just by looking at it.
Just an FYI:
Mcpls are not typically assigned to the tank as gunners. They are almost always crew commanders in the Canadian Army and Sgts are merely senior Mcpls that are promoted by seniority in the tank world. If there is a Mcpl that is acting lacking (has the rank but not the required course in this case Crew Commander) they are often put in the loaders role because of their access to the comms system as well as their role of being the commander's note taker and secondary map reader when they are not loading.

Pat really looks like a no-bullshit guy.
Not somber, but stern, very serious.

Bloody amazing,Could we see the 4 chars in this picture in pictures separately? That would be awesome.

Ahh that was the last thing I'd expected to do, been drawing too many single people on single sheets/digital canvases so I figured out I'll do something complete for a change of pace.

Looks like they got some cool snowy holidays ! They even took a picture, yeah !
I really like the colors, you can be proud of it ! My only saying is about lineart, the equipments on the ground are less visible than the tank on the third plan, which has a very thick line o:
Btw, if your neighborhood looks like that right now, don't get out of your home.

XD Hopefully it's not my whole neighborhood, just near the natural park or the river haha!
Yeah, that was one of the issues that still bugs me, thought that painting the Leopard 2 would save me some troubles from lining it, but it ended up looking semi-weird @.@

Fantastic work Sir! Really wish I had caught more of the livestream when you were doing this. Just keep being awesome, okay? Okay.

I suppose that the reason why there were so many streams through the week was due to my spring break!
Aye aye sir, will keep this going!

Good, good.
YES!
Awesome job on the picture and attention to details.
From the crew, the C8, C6 and the shitty looking scene (which Jarvy-CA pretty much covered)

Thanks mate! Quite enjoyed giving that old finish to the C8s and C6.
Aw yes, reality is the best source of inspiration!

Dat C6
The scenery looks shitty and miserable to be in... just like real life! The depressing bare trees and muddy snow are particularly nice touches.
Significant improvement since last year!

Thanks man! It's neat to take walks down the neighborhood before returning to the digital canvas, real-life's always the best reference.
