This is a piece of fan art I did for . I really admire his cute character designs as well as attention to detail when he draws firearms!
Portrayed in the drawing are Kalahari in his standard outfit, button up khaki colored shirt and khaki cargo pants, hiking boots, toting his AKM assault rifle under his arm, safety engaged.
And Kliefox to his right. Since Kalahari exsisted around the 70's, I had to make Klie period, so he's wearing your typical U.S. Grunt's outfit, OD Green everything. Shirt to keep cool, cargo pants, spike protectant jungle boots (I used to have a pair), M-1969 Flak Vest, M-16A1 under his arm (note the 20 round magazine), carried with the assistance of a rifle shoulder strap/webbing, and M-1 helmet in his left hand.
I picture Klie making a joke to Kalahari along the lines of, "Y'know, when they said they were sending me to the 'Nam, I had no idea they meant Namibia." *chuckles*
Media: Your standard 8.5 x 11 printer paper, .05 mechanical pencil, .005, .01, .03, .05, & .08 micron inking pens.
LOL! Nam-ibia! (I've gotta use that one!)
Great pose and expression and its tough to find that kind of detail in firearms around here! Definite +fav! Great attention to attire, very authentic

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
