Did an actual picture this time. I was just messing around with textures and backgrounds. I thought this turned out pretty cool looking. I know its not that complicated and stuff but at least i got some expirience with doing this. Thats what this whole GM Sniper II project has been besides the actual creation of the mobile suit itself. Its been a testing of decals, backgrounds and textures. I feel the texturing could be a bit better but it looks ok for now. Anyway we'll see what happens next!
So the only other official scheme that i know of so far is Lydo Wolf's GM Sniper II. Not too many federation pilots painted their mobile suits but Lydo Wolf was one of those that had his mobile suits painted. His nickname was "Dancing Black Death" and was the third top ace of the One Year War for the Earth Federation just under Amuro Ray.
With this scheme I created the other sniper rifle that the GM Sniper II uses. The only picture that i've seen of Lydo Wolf's GM Sniper II shows him using this rifle. In that picture also he's not carrying a sheild but i went ahead and put one in for this picture. Like i said before usually the Sniper II is shown having this type of sheild with this rifle. So thats why i went ahead and put it on this one.
Of course i had to do the color scheme of the White Dingos. Thats just a given. One thing with this scheme is i finally did some decals. I had been wanting to add decals onto my works but haven't until now. Also now that i have had practice in it i should be able to do it a lot easier with other mobile suits! Do you notice the different sheild too? I love the way it turned out. The only thing missing is the head vulcan add on. I guess i just forgot about it since it would be easy to make. Anyway there still is one more color scheme i'd like to add that isn't as well known. It'll be up here soon enough. Also i'm thinking i need to do some different poses with this suit.
So added the coloring to the Sniper II. Just its standard colors along with one of the sheilds it uses. Now i've actually never seen this combination of sheild with this beam sniper rifle. Usually when the GM Sniper II has this sheild it will carry the other sniper rifle that it uses. I have yet to create that rifle. I probably will eventually.
Here's what i've got right now! I'm loving the way this one is looking and i'm also amazed at how fast this one has gone. Its been about 7 days since i started this mobile suit and look at where i'm at. Wow! I even have a job and stuff so its not like i'm able to just sit around all day and work on it. Haha! Anyway a few things. I thinned out the arms and hip armor a little bit so its not as bulky looking. The GM Sniper II isn't supposed to be a thick mobile suit. Yep, well all i have now is to do some sheilds and some coloring and probably another sniper rifle.
Well got one of the sniper rifles (my personal favorite) finished. This sniper rifle was probably one of the most powerful weapons in the One Year War. It had incredible power and could even hold a single beam for a short amount of time. The GM Sniper [G] does that in 8th MS Team on the Apsalus III. Also in the Lost War Chronicles manga the GM Sniper II is able to do the same thing. Even the regular beam shots with this rifle are extremely powerful.
Ooooookaaay! Heheh! Did a bunch of work in one day to finish off the legs and do the arms and then finish off a bit more of detail. Looking at the finished work it seems a bit more bulkier than what i'm used to seeing the GM Sniper II as but i think it pulls it off. I think its the arms that make it seem that way.
Throughout the work i was doing tweaks to the head and i think i'm going to stick with this finished head i have here. I'm not sure if you're able to compare it to my first pics on here of the head but i like this last one the best. It looks less..... wrong.
Now all i have left is to do the weapons. There are 2 different sniper rifles the Sniper II uses plus other machine guns that i think i'll hold off on for now. Then there are 2 different sheilds too. I'll do both sheilds and sniper rifles. I bet they'll be fun. Also there's a head vulcan attachment i'll probably do too. And then as far as the coloring there are a few different schemes i'm planning on doing. The White Dingos will of course be one of those. Plus another one that is not as well know. I'll leave that one as a secret for now. Anyway hope you enjoy for now.
Finished the legs... i think. Might need to do a few tweaks but its coming along overall.
Well... have been working on the body and got it down pretty well... i think. Maybe need to do some tweaking here and there. Boosters aren't added in the backpack yet, obviously. I also did some adjustments to the snout and made it a bit shorter. I might have a battle with that throughout this whole project. Haha! Anyway, legs will be next!
Just put the visor down. Nothing too special but still like the way it looks!
GM Sniper II awww yeah! Here's what i got so far. I might throw some more detail on it but i'm liking how its going so far. Looking at the snout area makes me think it might be too long or fat or something.... i might keep it. We'll see...
