Helping Out a PMG Artist

Ever wondered how to do that?
Here are a few things to add to your to-do list...



1. Visit the website daily - it's the least everyone can do ;-)

2. Click on the ads - once a day is enough :-D



3. Scout your bookshelves, your local library and the Internet
for firearm references :-)



4. Take photographs of your firearm, if you have one :-P

Please note that checklist items #3 and #4 are dependent on my current work.
...and when you do have reference material, kindly comment on this post,
with a working link that leads to your contribution.

For now, I am still drawing the French FA MAS assault rifle.Progress is slow but sure - I'm hoping to get it done in these two weeks.


I certainly look forward to everyone's response! :-)
Skipper, over and out!

  2. I've found this on Wikipedia!

    http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/5/50/20091126111957!FAMAS-F1_vs_G2.svg

    It might help you out.

  3. Hi, I'm trying to make my own Pimp My Gun esque game, It's going to be my first Flash game so it will probably be terrible, I don't kno if you'd support this or be against it.. But I was just wondering if you could send me 1 design to use in my game, One that you know wouldn't be added to PMG or something, I understand if not.
    Thanks!

  4. @Gavin:
    I'm drawing the entire FA MAS family,
    which is why I need everyone's help in
    finding the necessary reference
    material to do so.

    About the SVG on Wikipedia,
    I already have that in my refs' folder.

    Thanks anyway.

    @Scott:
    I'd be more than happy to send you
    one of my many drawings.

    Do note that all my drawings are drawn
    in Illustrator format.

    I fear there may be incompatibility
    between the drawings and Adobe Flash.

    Anyways, for simplicity's sake,
    I will be sending you the H&K MP7 PDW.

    Comment on this post with your email,
    so that I can send you the file.

    Thanks.

  22. A bit off topic, but I spotted a bug in the SCAR-H; the side rail on the forward end of the receiver changes colour along with the rest of the body. Thought you should know...

    Otherwise, we're all eager to see what PMG's got cooking!

    P.S.: How's the Barrett coming along? The ref pics helped?

    ReplyDelete
  23. @TacoBellDoom

    I am not the one who writes the codes for Pimp My Gun. Doctor Noob does that. I can't give you an answer for that, sorry.

    Thanks for the support though.

    @Entey

    I am drawing the FA MAS, and until it gets done, I'm not drawing anything else.

    Do keep a note that I am only responsible for drawing some of the guns in PMG, and that is all.

    I have no capability to add more guns into the app, so I can't answer your prayers for such a long list of guns to be added to PMG.

    @Gavin

    Thanks!

    @ManOManyFaces

    Maybe, in future updates.

    You might need a specialised tool to draw your own parts though.

    @Alex

    Thanks for letting me know - you should email Doctor Noob about this bug, too - it needs attention :D

    I am done drawing the Barrett M95 and the M90. Until I am done drawing the FA MAS, it might take awhile before I start drawing another Barrett rifle.

  24. Croatian RT-20 if you have time please :)

  25. I found some layer problems with the CompM2/M3 first mount (the thicker one), where the battery compartment is supossed to be out of the mount while the sight remains inside the mount ring, but instead everything was covered by the mount. Is there anyway to make the battery compartment a separate part? Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Once you get done with the FA MAS, could you do the M1/M2 Carbine? I could take pictures of my own if need be.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Skipper, is it possible to tell us when the next update is gonna come out?

    ReplyDelete
  28. @Justin
    I'll look it up, thank you.

    @Gonzagamm
    I'm sorry, but you'll need to contact Dr Noob regarding PMG parts.

    @Bojangles
    Do start taking pictures of the rifle, thank you very much :)

    @Gonzagamm
    I'm sorry, but I have no information about the release date of the next update.

    I will, however, try to enquire Dr Noob about this.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Hey Skipper, news about a new update?

    ReplyDelete

  32. If you ever get the time for it, the addition of the Elcan SpecterDR 1x-4x and 1.5x-6x could be nice.

    Otherwise, keep up the great work.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Thanks for all the info,
    and oh -

    @haxfar:
    I hear that the Specter is already on its way to a PMG update :D

    ReplyDelete
  34. Where are all the MachineGuns and the rest of the guns from the older version???

    ReplyDelete
  35. Redrawing the guns in greater detail will definitely take a long time, so I hope you'll have the patience to wait :)

    Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Can we atleast expect the update to go up during the summer vacation?

    ReplyDelete
  37. well, it's just a list, only thing I really want in there if you could, a shot gun
    AA12 would be nice

    ReplyDelete
  38. @Gonzaga:
    That'd be up to Doc.

    @Entey:
    I'll see what I can do about drawing the AA12,
    but right now college is so busy I can't even complete the FA MAS.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Word from Dr. Noob is that the update's almost finished, he's just gotta put the new stuff into PMG and write descriptions for items

    ReplyDelete
  40. Id love to see a H&K MP7 added to the list, ive found several references

    They may only be the airsoft version of the weapon but its still fairly accurate to the real deal, especially the GBB versions

    ReplyDelete
  41. @PFC Crum
    I have completed drawing the H&K MP7A1,
    it's now a matter of time before Doc adds it into the PMG arsenal :D

    Thanks for forwarding these reference images.
