Artist's Comments

For the ALBEDO: STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY project, we were shy a few technical illustrations, especially for guns. I'm a big fan of Masamune Shirow and the like, but I'm nowhere near as accomplished an artist.

ALBEDO is a war comic set at an unspecified future date where genetically-engineered animal men fight interstellar wars, mostly on an a policy of invasion and occupation. Infantry and land vehicles are emphasized.

I wanted to use modern guns as a model, but also imply that there was some kind of futurist society in mind. Most of these guns were based on 1990 models or later. I'll freely confess to "ricing them up", adding what I think looks more futury even though my ballistics knowledge is enough to know I don't know enough.

Aaaaw, why no love for the helical mag? I mean they're no more silly than beta-c drums or quad stack magazines if you think about it. :P

There's a rough Calico here: [link]

It's really an absurd gun. ^.^
:iconbigfluffykitty:
Yeah, the calico is pretty silly looking, but what about the bizon?

Oh, and because I forgot to mention it earlier, thanks for making this interesting set of drawings. I especially like the mounted guns.

The objective of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other dumb, sorry bastard die for his. -Patton-

When you try to make a gun more futueristicy, your just reinventing the hot dog. It's pointless.
