How did they draw the AR perfectly? Every single notch on that rail looks perfect. Is it a 3d model?

[Anonymous No.5059334]

This one too.

[Anonymous No.5059336]

Probably. It's not uncommon to use 3d models underneath for complicated scifi type stuff that would otherwise be super tedious to do. It saves a lot of time

Probably a paintover over multiple 3d models. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a simplified doll like girl body with all the mags and weapons strapped to it and then artist drew over it with clothes, hair and other stuff.

They conscripted children to die in suicide attacks for their country during WWII. They ignored citizens getting bombed during the massive bombing raids in order to conserve military strength.

They even ignored pleas to surrender after Hiroshima and Nagasaki and were ready to burn every single life in the country in order to secure a conditional surrender (and keep their imperial assets).

Imperial japan was a ruthless fascist regime... They were super bad for their citizen. They their own gestapo and were killing civilians non stop.

I won't discuss ethics and morals of war with a anachronic millenial monkey in a chinese cartoon board.
I'll just say this, only in a christian countries with a powerful outsider minority you can milk a victim narrative for more than 80 years.
And to expect a country which got two nukes and lost all military power to keep apologising is retarded.

It's just plain history you moron. I m not making a moral statement. Why do you feel so personally attacked that a 80yo defunct regime was a fascist state ?

yes, there is a function in CSP to import 3d models and set them as layer background that you can trace. there is a small niche of japanese artists that do this.

This. Ever wonder why, despite constantly butting dicks with America in Asian waters, China doesn't try to mess with America's sphere of influence concerning Japan? It because China (and the rest of Asia) are still scared shitless of the Nips and would rather America be in charge than for Japan be an active military power again.

Japan is the pitbull of the East that'll start mauling the nearest country it can get its paws on the second America lets go its leash.

Because it was the last time Japan actually had balls.
Modern Japan is super neutered and most of them are well aware of it, the more right winged nips started to romanticize the imperial era because it was a time where men were men and were willing to die for their country. Even if it was in extremely retarded and stupid ways like crashing planes into boats.

Its basically just Japan's version of people in America talking about the good ol' day when men were men and not panzy asses.

It's modeled after 3d. If you can't tell just by the typical "3d lighting", look at the small details such as the plastic clips, the straps or the little metallic piece above the trigger (sorry Im /k/ illiterate), it gives it away.

[Anonymous No.5060651]

>>5060646
trying to pull 2d shading with 3d is super fucking difficult. It's more likely they modelled the whole thing in 3D and generated lineart out of it (which they either traced or outright used) which they they coloured with a lighting reference from their 3D model.

[Anonymous No.5060687]

>>5060651
Yeah that's how they do it most of the time.
And yes it's very difficult to do it right, I really appreciate when an artist can seamlessly weave 3d into his work, but very few can pull that shit off desU

Because just like the SJWs they claim to hate, /pol/niggers attach their identity and self worth to their political beliefs and one of /pol/s political beliefs are denying the idea that the Axis powers did anything wrong or where terrible leaders for instigating a war that did so much damage. /pol/niggers will always be contrarian to a mentally ill extent despite the facts telling them otherwise because THE JEWS DID IT.

[Anonymous No.5060702]

>>5060687
I'm still not really convinced that it's 3d in anything except lineart, desu and maybe the metal bits. The style looks a lot like T5's 2D style (the style they use when they're not making models out of everything.) Once you have the rendered lineart and some kind of lighting ref, it's really easy to shade that shit, whereas with setting up the shaders so that it exactly mimics something that's not perfectly in the material library is a huge pain in the ass. Like, I'd anticipate it taking 3 times the amount of time it'd take to do it in 2D. 2Dwise it'd be relatively straightforward because it's so flat

[Anonymous No.5060709]

>>5060687
(cont) also I think part of the why the guy respects cartoony styles in the concept art is dead video is because realism is just easier. Almost every renderer comes with realism built in, realistic materials with the preset amount of refractive index etc built in. Now I'd imagine trying to turn that sort of thing into manga art is like trying to search for a needle in a haystack. Maybe someone figured it out in blender with 2D flats but it's a whole nother ballgame with 3D and shading, it's not as simple as setting up the shadow colour when you've got ambient light etc and the reflection of the hdri/environment and god knows what's else coming in like specular reflection. Getting the lineart is super easy, the 2D shadows etc is a huge clusterfuck

Japanese politics is more complex then conservative win therfore japanese support conservative views. Why that is the case has a lot to do with how the democratic party is put in place, the number of elderly population and how the youth is completly uninterested in politics in general. But yeah most japanese aren't right wing or left wing...they are just apolitical. Pretty much how they go to the temple yet aren't religious. Japanese don't think like westerners do and comparing it to western countries just doesn't work.

They wanted a conditional surrender which meant taking future losses hostage to bargain for conditions. Which meant just continuing to throw lives at the U.S army endlessly.

It's true Truman wanted to put up a good show for the Russians (hell yeah, bomb 2 cities full of civilians to own the commies).
But if Japan had agreed to the unconditional surrender he would have had no reason to go forward with the nuclear bombings.

Both imperial Japan and the Truman admin were despicable in that scenario (and Stalin too obv).

That's Korea not Japan. Japanese culture has been distinct from China's since the BC era. Korea has literally always been "Little China" up until Japanese occupation after the 1st Sino-Japanese War, then it became "Little Japan.'" After WW2, the US occupied it, and now it's "Little America".
