Concept | 概念

Newbie Part 7! The theme this time is "Inside an armored personnel carrier (APC), serving the soldiers as they're geared up for rehearsal."

I've been looking for references for APC, and my brother happens to have model and book for APC, so this was where I began XD. Based on what I've heard, the M-113 model is particularly interesting as it was mass produced and repurposed for various usage other than for personnel carrying. The book is a recording of all the ways this model has been repurposed. 🤔

Newbie Part 7！這次的主題是「前往演習路上的裝甲運兵車（APC）內，為全副武裝的軍人們服務」

我在找APC的參考資料的時候我哥剛好有相關的模型跟書籍，於是就借來幫助構思了XD。根據我哥的說法，這台M-113挺特別的，當年被大量生產且常常被改造成運兵以外的用途，而這本書記載的就是這個型號的各種差分 🤔

However, M-113 is quite different from the APC I went on during my mandatory military service. The one I went on (iirc) was CM-34, it was seriously crowded and I would often bump my head on the ceiling (^._.^;).

Even though I don't intend to base my scene entirely on any of the real life models (as it would limit my ability to deform the scene to my liking), I would still very much want to replicate the 'feeling' of being on an APC; hence, I want to recreate the crowdedness I feel while I was on CM-34 since it was the one I had the most experience with. The focus on crowdedness should enhance the feeling of warmth, the scent, and the sense of being trapped.

但M-113跟我在當不願役的時候所搭乘的APC差挺多的，沒記錯的話，我坐的是CM-34，而我的印象是空間超擠，我的頭也常常撞到一些有的沒的結構 (^._.^;)。

儘管我不想讓作品內的APC完全參考現實中的型號（畢竟這樣會侷限畫面的可塑性），我還是想複製出待在APC上的「感覺」，而對我來說，在CM-34上的感覺就是有夠擠，如果專注於「擠」的概念，主題將會聚焦在加強溫度、氣味、以及無法逃脫的感受上

Draft | 草稿

The scene has soldiers sitting facing each other as you would in real life, but I enhanced the crowded feeling by making the gap between the two columns of seats much closer to each other, to the point where you could sleep in the middle on everyone's lap (?)

The gears are of course not realistic as you would not wear tanktop and shorts to rehearsal, but hey, I like it better this way (〃∀〃)ゞ

場景和現實中的APC一樣，士兵們的椅子會面向彼此，但我想強化那個擁擠的感受於是我選擇將兩列座椅的間距縮短了一些，如果你想要的話，你甚至可以直接拿士兵們的大腿當床，在走道中間躺下（？

服裝儀容當然是不寫實的，畢竟沒有士兵操練會穿背心跟短褲，但這比較符合我理想中的軍中所以隨便啦(〃∀〃)ゞ

Layer Separation | 圖層分離

Base Color | 底色

Apart from making the main character stand out, I kinda want to make the soldiers fade into the background a bit too, only the most relevant parts (such as their hands and dicks) should remain solid.

除了讓主角突出以外，我也有點想讓其他士兵融合到背景中，只有最重要的部分（例如手、雞雞）會畫得比較實。

Lighting | 光影

Since the APC is in the middle of driving, allowing sunlight to come from the door is not really feasible; hence, I want to emulate the sunlight coming in from a circular roof . This also creates a spotlight effect that has a clear focal point and feels a bit more exposed 🤭.

畢竟這是台正在行駛中的APC，讓光線從打開的門灑進來不太合理，因此我想模擬從圓形頂蓋打進來的陽光。這看起來像聚光燈的光影除了有更明確的焦點以外，也更有暴露感 🤭。

Colored Draft | 草稿上色

Added another foreground to make the scene even more crowded impression-wise, but also adds more depth.

Currently the background is very standard and structural, however, having been on a real APC, I know it's usually a lot messier with random items laying around here and there; therefore, I plan to add more personal touches in the background to make the scene more alive later.

增加了另一層前景，想讓這場景有更擁擠的印象，同時也增加更多景深。

目前的背景挺制式化的，但有上過APC就知道普遍來講都挺雜亂的，常常有些有的沒的雜物被到處亂放，因此我打算在未來的階段放一些這類的小細節來讓場面更有生活感。

Rendering (Main Character) | 細修（主角）

Rendering (Side Characters) | 細修（配角）

This step alone took a few days to complete because the equipments are more time consuming than I originally anticipated, as well as the fact that I had to paint the underlying bodies for variation as well (›´ω`‹ )

這個步驟就花了好幾天才完成，因為畫裝備比我想像中的花時間，而且為了差分我還把衣服底下的肌肉全部畫出來了 (›´ω`‹ )

I forgot to keep this step (〃∀〃)ゞ

這步驟忘記存了(〃∀〃)ゞ

Draugnut's Suggestions | 爪爪的建議

@Draugnut recommended to make the cast shadows more pronounced to better indicate the lighting setup. He also said that the thighs of the big boys are a bit too thin and recommended to make them thicker. I also really liked the part where he recommended to make the knee of the main character visible for better clarity.

Huge thanks to his advice as always （｡ò ∀ ó｡）

@爪爪 建議我把投射陰影畫得更明顯一點，這樣光影的配置比較清楚。他也提到黑肉的大腿好像都偏細，建議我把他們的大腿畫粗一點。我也很喜歡他建議主角的左腳膝蓋露出讓畫面更好懂的細節。

非常感謝他的建議（｡ò ∀ ó｡）

Newbie pt7 Parameters

This is probably my first time experimenting with camera movements in a NSFW piece. I thought it's quite suitable as they are in a moving vehicle, my only concern is that perhaps it may cause dizziness in some people, so I try to keep it relatively mild.

aaaaand that's it! It was exhausting to have to draw and animate 6 different characters xwx

這應該是我第一次嘗試在色色作品中加入移動的鏡頭。我是覺得挺適合用來表達車子正在移動的感覺，唯一擔心的是這可能會造成有些人頭暈，所以我試著把效果弄得比較小一點。

然後終於完成啦！一次要做六個人的插畫跟動畫真的好累啊xwx
