Adding to the lady count, here comes generic anime girl, Annie May!:

Done in markers, but it does look rather computer colour-ish to me. I kick ass with my markers, yo.
And now, a collection of random cartoon silliness.

What is interesting about Samus or Master Chief or any character that hides behind a mask (motion pictures aside) is that they aren't proportionally correct. I mean no human could fit into Samus' or Chief's suit. Chief maybe, but his helmet is too small and if the suit has artificial muscles and multiple armor leayers as it is supposed to, the Chief would have to be a very slim guy. Kind of destroys the whole super-strong truck flippin', neck-breaking image when you realize that Chief has to be anorexic to fit in his suit.

I was going to wait until the holidays to post my artwork as I don't have a scanner, but my parents do. Then I remember that scanned some work I had done last year and it was hidden in an old shit folder on my computer. The first four drawings were done two years ago as the "quality" requriment for my AP Drawing portfolio. The 5th pic just a "fun" drawing based on one of the AP pieces.
Apologies for the scan quality (or lack there of).
Also note that the first two were done on 18 x 12 so that's why their is sort of a "crease" in them.
In two out of the three years I was in drawing classes I drew about half a dozen mech drawings. Each one was more ambitious and detailed then the last. The penultimate was a heavily damaged chicken-mech in the throes of death firing it's last ammunition reserves... at nothing. All my mech pics were focused on one. I wanted this one to have a battle, and while the focus is still on one mech, there is at least some action. This mech is actually a design that I have had for about three or four years now. The Mech is called the "Titan" and this is a customized version of it.
This was before I understood a lot about firearms, so the Gatling machineguns arnen't accurate at all. They are still feasible, but there is no point in having a chute with no magazine. It might as well be a naked belt.
A demon decaying whilst devouring our planet slowly over a thousand years. Or some bullshit like that.
Brown Dragon from D&D. Brown Dragons do not have wings and I wanted to do something that was pretty different from how a traditional dragon looks.
Inspired by Raiden from Virtual On and Gunrock from Power Stone.
The rock golem is now in an action pose or something.
Needless to say that was the cream of the crop. My other stuff was such bullshit that I got a 2.

I thought the magazine in this case was the rotary belt attached to the gatling gun? You can tell I don't know anything at all! What is the chute?the Gatling machineguns arnen't accurate at all.

Technically I was incorrect as the chute would be necessary anyway. I just wasn't thinking when I made that post.
The chute is what you actually see in the drawing. It's a flexible aluminum guide that properly feeds the belt into the weapon and is necessary when you are firing off 66 rounds a second. The ammo can be fired from a linked belt (like a standard machine gun) or it can be linkless. The magazine is where ammo is stored. In a typical set up you would have your minigun with a chute connecting it to an ammo can or drum (the magazine). The ammunition is stored in the magazine and fed through the chute into the weapon.
A typical "helicopter can" holds about 400 rounds and a drum may hold as many as 1000 or 2000 rounds. In my drawing, based on the belt-length that weapon would have maybe 100-rounds max and probably more like fifty. That's about one or two seconds of fire.
With the M134 (also referred to as the "minigun" and what you've seen in movies such as The Matrix, Terminator 2, Terminator 3, and Predator.), you have to pull the belt to the feeder/delinker and then rotate the barrels until links are ejected. If you continue to manually rotated the barrels, the weapon will actually fire since the barrel movement is what actually causes the firing mechanism. To get the high firerates, Gatling-action weapons are usually hydraulic, pneumatic or electric powered. (The M134 is electric powered.) There are a few Russian models that are gas-operated (as a normal machine gun or assault rifle would be.) Electric powered machine guns in general are referred to as chain guns. It has nothing to do with whether or not they are belt fed (almost all machine guns are and all electric-powered ones are) or how many barrels they have.
In my picture I drew the chute as a disintegrating belt. The pieces falling along with the brass were actually intended to be pieces of the chute broken up by the feeder/delinker. They incidently look nothing like the actual links on a bullet belt and are thus totally incorrect.
Some pics to clarify what I'm talking about:
This is a chute. You can see the ammo belt sticking out.
Linked ammunition belt.

The weapon discussion relates to a technical error in the artwork. Hey, G. Silv asked, and I couldn't get to sleep, so I figured I'd explain it to the depth of my knowledge. I wasn't going to say anything otherwise, but evidently someone was interested to a degree.
On a side note, the flamethrower looks like shit and the fuel tank is too small. And the tracer is absolutely fucked up. It looks like a fireball or something. I suppose if you had a perfect camera and paused the tracer round in space, that might be what it actually looks like, but such a camera does not exist and even if it did, then the laser would also only appear as a pulse. Well I guess since a laser is technically faster you could get a camera to capture the reaction of the tracer but the pulse laser still be blurred. I guess that works. It still doesn't excuse the muted muzzle flash of the Gatling machine gun though.

Straight-cased sabot rounds. I swear.I didn't notice anything about what you just said in the picture except for the broken-end ammo link thingy. Now that you mentioned the bullets, ha ha, they look like shotgun shells.
And yeah, pencil has a hard time of capturing so-called particle effects, which is too bad.
