Description
Started off with a M1 Abrams sketch (No particular variant though, need to do a bit of research to differentiate the M1A1 and M1A2.). Then worked slowly through making what appears to be a decent background with some lighting effects.Edit: Some lighting and turret issues

90% of the difference between an A1 and an A2 is all on the top of the turret. (change in .50 cal mount / for the hunter killer package) Also some changes to the back of the hull that you wouldn't see from this angle.
Overall the A2 is better / faster at finding and killing other tanks at a longer range vs. the A1. (more computer tech)
As for your picture, the gun tube us at an uncommon angle. Its a tad too high for Sabo ammo unless at very long range. Or not high enough for a HEAT round to fly. Also as a reminder the gun tube will be shorter while firing as it recoils in the turret of the tank.
Also one too many headlights on each side. One would be a standard headlight and the other just a small rectangle for an IR light.

I have little experience with Abrams, that's why i decided to start off with the simplest, vanilla Abrams XD
Shall give a try at the newer upgrades packages some day

Lovely work as usual man
The Abrams really came off good. You gotta make some more vehicle pictures. The Mechanical needs some love a well.

Ah yes, needs more technical drawings.

Oh snaps, I now know what to do next time I'm drawing a tank or an artillery piece firing.
Funny how I remembered it for choppers taking off but not for them XD

Epic, especially the gun fire effect *-*

I'm starting to love those layer blending modes in SAI, gives pretty effects that are harder to achieve with regular layers. X_X
Can't wait to see what you come up with man.

He mentioned that it was due to the dog's house/gunner sight been on the wrong side. xP Which somehow made the CITV looking off.
It's actually on the right side, but I did not added enough lines to make looking like it is in.

yeah it looks to far left, needs to look moar right >

Whaaat?!
I do not see the CITV floating
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you drew dog house on wrong side, so it pushes the citv into midair

It is on the right side of the turret, figured out that I missed some lines that would make it more anchored into it~
Well, I'd have to try avoiding this later on.
