what is also funny is that LBX autocannons have been described in all the fluff as smoothbore weapons, letting them use submunition ammo, like big shotgun shells with explosive pellets. though the latest fluff adds 'proximity fused' to that, so they only scatter when near the target, in an effort to justify the long range.

I love your art, I've been a long time fan of your work since I was a young boy deep into scifi. I was curious though, none of the original dimensions of these works exist and I'm curious to know what scale you drew these in? Thanks and keep up all the beautiful work.

Oh thanks so much man, so glad you've enjoyed my stuff!

We would always draw larger than final print size, as the images looked better shrunk down a bit. I think my usual scale was 130 - 140% final print size. So, most of my 'lansdcape' shaped drawings are about 9 inches wide.. .
