Description
A squad of delta force operatives moving cautiously through a hostile environment, staying out of sight of enemy patrols.Just some practice with a tortillion in shading and smudging the camo pattern.

Delta Force (Also known as 1SFOD-D and CAG) are always better.

that's a difficult argument to make, as i believe all SOF units are as good as each other, with each bringing their own specialties and capabilities to bear

Captain Price has a handlebar mustache, 'that' guy i'm guessing your talking about has a full beard
but ok i guess there is a slight similarity

Very good! No helmets? How ling did you need for it?
π: 0 β©: 1
thanks! and yeah no helmets, better situational awareness and mobility, don't expect to be in a firefight for too long.
time it took me to do this? about, say 2 hours?

Awesome artwork! Like I said below, I like how intense it feels, like they really don't know what could happen next, but are ready to react to anything from any direction, and move on to their objective, wasting no time.
The detail is great too.

Personally I think your drawing technique is excellent, but the posing is quite exaggerated. Their legs are sprawled out as though they're in some over-the-top action sequence but currently they're just standing at a corner. Try not to have them so low perhaps. As well I think I should note the first guy right of center appears to have no neck.

thanks for the critique. i'm still learning and have much yet to learn, this was sort of a rough sketch that i ended up finishing. i did realize that some of their pose seemed exaggerated and almost awkward.

Still, it's very good, and given something more intense the poses would be much more appropriate. Keep up the good work

I'm sorry, but I'm calling BS mate. Please don't take this real personally or anything-I'm just offering counter-point(s) to your statement(s):
I highly doubt any tier 1 operators are going to leisurely stand around corners or not be in on "something more intense." Being ready to detect and react to threats that pop up PROBABLY requires one to physically be in a "ready stance." Runners and swimmers don't take ready stances just before a race for nothing. But in the case that this piece illustrates, you could have people shooting stuff just a wee bit more lethal than a starting gun...AT YOU AND YOUR MATES. I could only imagine how intense a tier 1 mission is. If you're standing more upright, you probably couldn't have as good control/freedom of movement for your weapon, and therefore fail to eliminate an enemy who has just, or could detect you and your team. You couldn't be ready to move in a moment's notice if you have to haul your rear end somewhere-yesterday, to cover, or away from enemies.
I think the point of this piece was to illustrate the intense nature of a covert mission behind enemy lines, and stances like this make me think that this is almost like a split-second snapshot of their objective-minded movement. Less "exaggerated" poses wouldn't convey that.

very nice! although I thought this would be SEALs, not Delta, thats okay though

you'd think that because of the boonies and darker camo, but it's not exclusive.

Center left one reminds me of Captain Price

If this were in color, what camouflage will you put?
(I suggest Digital MultiCam XD)
π: 0 β©: 1
if ever, most likely Multicam of course

Love the picture, great detail! Any reason why you used boonie hats for them all? Or just because?
π: 0 β©: 1
just because, i guess
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, nevermind. Still love the picture.

H&K 416 D's I presume, along with a Mk. 14 EBR Mod 0. And, either a Browning M2HB or a DShK. Did I get any correct?
π: 0 β©: 1
you pretty much got it all. regarding the weapon on the technical, i'll leave it up to you
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmm, I will have to go with the good ol' .50 cal Browning.
π: 0 β©: 1
I wouldn'tΒ rule out that a technical in the African, Middle east, Central and Communist Asia (i.e. anywhere there may have been Soviet influence at any point in the area's history) would mount a DShK. Basically a Russian big fifty. Soviet's have a terrible track record of keeping heavy weapons and gear out of shady hands and still openly export such equipmentΒ to anyone not deemed a threat and has the cash. Β Β
