MLP M41A Pulse Rifle (Patreon)

 Even with the A/C running in the studios it has gotten rather toasty at time, and I don't want to run the risk of getting sweat on multi-hundred dollar commission that I have already committed many hours to. However that doesn't mean I am not getting any art done. No I am just focusing on smaller, primarily B/W, projects.     

One project that I started a couple of months ago and posted some images of already on Patreon is based off a dream I had one night where Petina was watching a movie that was crossover between MLP and Aliens. The role of Ripley was being played by Zecora, and Sweetie Belle was effectively Newt. The characters were anthro and the role of the Xenomorphs was played by the Changelings. All though they were a lot creepier in this dream.

   
  I've always liked the M41A Pulse Rifle and shows how the film production crew grappled with the limitations of time, money, and available 1980's technology to come up with cool and iconic piece of Sci-fi tech. That said there are certain aspects of its design betray its prop shop origins. However my subconscious is not restricted by budgetary or technological limitations so it decided to fix a few things that have always bugged me about the design.
