Wa11y posted:I don't think a big heavy fore end would make a good barrel whip reducer. I could see it adding enough stress on the receiver to cause some problems in very short order. Exactly. There's almost no amount of weight that you could add that would not either wind up as sprung weight that exacerbates the torque problem or is so heavy that it is pulling the barrel down.

They should make a starship trooper stock to drop your 10-22 into. Would make them a lot more money and would probably be fun as well in a silly way. This is just stupid.

Now, I'm not knocking drawing the guns (or posting them on DeviantArt), but that drawing is probably one step up from "business idea on a napkin" in terms of how thought it is. BTW, I've ran across my old guns I drew back in the day Not from high school, but just slightly after.   (oh, look, I included those horrible backup sights from the P90)   Nowadays, I do most of my fictional gun designs in 3D. Since finding those old guns, I've been updating them a bit while modeling them.   Haven't gotten to the weird in-grip carbine. Yet.

Man, y'all draw so much better than I used to. I always wanted to draw, but I knew I was terrible and I couldn't figure out how to get better. I probably just needed to practice, but it was hard practicing when everything came out so badly.

This saddens me because drawing is a personal thing and really shouldn't be compared to anything- there will always be somebody 'better', so why bother considering their output (except for the purpose of improving your own stuff. Also, a lot of people who complain they can't get drawings to come out right tend to have a unique style with a ton of character but are hung up on making everything look "realistic." I guess what I'm saying is draw more! Doodle constantly at work. Try new mediums on a whim. Draw from models or your imagination, and don't give a gently caress about what anybody else thinks. Its never too late!

I probably just needed to practice, but it was hard practicing when everything came out so badly. Lemme break this down for you: most artists hate their art, or at least some of their art. Art requires learning a medium, learning new nuances, trying techniques and methods you've never tried, and tweaking things that you don't like by repeating and trying to fix them, so basically, you're always going to be creating things you either don't like or aren't satisfied with. I can certainly sort of draw now, and model in wire or clay, but I'm still dissatisfied with a lot of things I create. It's part of the process and you've got to power on through despite the fact that in order to improve, you've got to create EVEN MORE things you're not satisfied with and try more things you're not comfortable with. My grade school doodles SUCKED even by gradeschooler doodle standards, but eventually I just sort of said 'gently caress it' and started drawing all the drat time even though I thought all of it sucked, and now I only think most of my work sucks!  Seriously though, it isn't too late to pick it up as a hobby, and if nothing else, doodling can empower you to supplement your verbal communication with some haphazard visuals. Just do it, persondude. Do it.

Well now I just don't know what to think. I could actually bear owning a Neos if I painted it to look like a Zapper and made my targets look like 8-bit ducks. edit: In no way was I implying the Neos is actually a crappy gun, as I've heard nothing but positive things about how they shoot. They just look like a child's space-gun. Which now that I think of it is probably half the appeal. Terrible Robot fucked around with this message at May 29, 2012 around 03:02 |

Its funny that I've had a ton of people respond to the Ruger MkIII 22/45 I used to have as "oh it looks just like the NES Zapper"...and looking at that I think the Neos looks even more like one.

22 Eargesplitten posted:I think what I need to do is sign up for a basic art/drawing class at the community college. I did the same thing with a Creative Writing class and that's what got me to a writing level where I didn't stop writing for months because I'd come back the next day and couldn't stand to read what I'd put down on page. This is a good idea, but do keep in mind art education has its own lingo. Art History and Art Appreciation teach you to judge, critique, and analyze art, and are pretty dry. Introduction to Art may be broken up into a practical and a theoretical component depending on the school, and you may spend a hell of a lot more time focusing on Elements and Principles more than actually creating things either way (example: the first assignment at my college's art intro course required spending $100 on paints and making a color wheel; the class only went downhill from there, and was a requirement for EVERY ART DEGREE, including 3D and digital medium degrees). If they offer something like a 100-level Introduction to Drawing or Ceramics or Painting class, that might be more open and interesting. I would try asking around or sitting in on a course first before committing the time and money. All of that ranting aside, holy poo poo, that zapper gun is cooler than a superconducting coil. It's James Bond as poo poo.

Yeah, I think if I hadn't taken my 2D design class as my first art class, I probably wouldn't have gone for my BA in Art. The materials were cheap enough to allow for experimentation and the class covered a lot of the fundamentals. Also, teachers are important. When I took a drawing class for the first time, the instructor was a douchebag who was a big follower of the Pollack "splash paints down" method and hassled me for trying to sketch out or pre-plan work instead of having drawing automatically that I dropped the class. The next time, I got an instructor who focused heavier on fundamentals and had us do self-portraits and go out into the courtyard and sketch with charcoals, which was much easier. Also, my 3D design class gave me a better appreciation for modern and installation art. It takes a poo poo load of effort to get simple-looking things just right. You might scoff if you see something like Damien Hirst and Donald Judd, but there's a lot that goes into installation artwork.
