Well, whatever. Tiberian Sun, ladies and gentlemen.
Now that I have a Disc Thrower, I want to create a Rifleman, wait, no Riflegirl.
Please read the description first before asking any questions.

Are you an anime fan?

chyeah, straight off the bat you should be able to tell.

I love the detail! OMG, the detail!

Looks awesome with all that detailing.. and even though it has lots of detail it doesn't look messy.

Yes and no. I do draw specifically only in animesque style now, but then, it's not my entire life.
There's things about anime that I like and just about as much about anime that I don't.
Which is why watching other channels is sometimes a good alternative.

I don't know who you're referring to with the first line, but with the second one... yeah... detail is good.

Thanks. If you draw the picture large and slow, you should be able to get the details in the right place.

that's really good
i like the separate and solid armor plates on every part of the body.
I'm not that fond of the big anime looking eyes and the way he is holding the 3 discs is unclear to me too. I think the discs would be simply too thick to hold them between the fingers.
Other than that i like it very much.

Point taken, LKO. I understand that not a lot of C&C players grew up with anime since childhood (myself included, ironically), but this is where I perform best. And about the discs- well, they were intentionally drawn for that exact same animesque impression, a la ninja mode. His posture might not be something you could really understand for now, but I had plans to make him look like he's going to throw a trio of explosives at a rushing Nod horde along with some camera angle experimentation, which will only look more sensible one the entire picture's done.

Anyway, thanks for the compliments and opinions.

there's more to the picture!

I myself, am a stick figure artist. XD
I was so impressed by CnC when I was a wee youngin' that I drew overhead views of stick figures fighting from TD... and then unknowingly mixed it up with RA...

So, yeah, obelisk towers and dolphins, hehe

That's because RA inherited some of C&C's unit technology. With them being similar to newcomers, mixing both up is no surprise.
On a side note, despite importing some technology, I think that Westwood didn't take all of C&C's gaming logic into RA, though.
e.g.: Nod SAMs can take shelter under shields and pop up only when firing. Soviet SA-2s can't.

LKO, those aren't big anime eyes... these are
