After painting my Anti-sniper tank, I thought it only fair to paint a sniper in similarly grungy style, so it's got soething to shoot at.
I had thought this picture was finished yesterday, but then I watched an episode of Stargate SG-1 in which one of the characters wears goggles over a reversed baseball cap and it made me laugh so much I knew I had to pay tribute.
EDIT: Oh, forgot to say: The film poster on the back wall is for Russ Meyer's Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
UPDATE: Uploaded a new version with some anatomical amendments in response to Usernotfound and CPRipper's comments.

This is one of the cooler sniper pics I've seen. At one point in the movie Children of Men, you can actually see a guy sniping inside an apartment, and in the background is a poster for an 'adult' film. This really captures that kind of moment, ecspecially since a tank is shooting at him, JUST LIKE IN THE MOVIE. Seriously, really cool, really neat. Keep it up.

The drawing is awesome. However, the sniper is a dumbass. Standing directly at the window...

Looks pretty good. A note or two:

Check your anatomy. Look at the barrel of the gun, extend it both ways, and see if the right hand lines up anywhere near that line. It should be close to under it at some point. Judging by how far away the scope is from his face, his right hand should actually be fairly close to his jaw area. The right arm in the picture gives no indication of this.

His left hand seems to be a resting on a part of the gun that would get hot (ditch the holes on the cover to avoid indicataing this), and also the posing on the left hand is awkward. Again, photoreference the hand and see how someone shooting a rifle actually holds it with their hands. The fingers are a little fat, which might also be rectified by a photoref.

Nice use of textures. Really like the washed out colors. Keep up the good work, hope to see more soon.

Yeah, I had a lot of trouble with the right arm and shoulder, and the left hand is pretty lumpy. You're right; it needs fixing, and as I'm otherwise rather pleased with this pic I'll probably actually get round to fixing it this time - I'll let you know when I've uploaded an improved version. Thanks for thaking the time to make such a detailed, thought-out comment.

I'm trying to get an up-to-date portfolio together. It's stage 1 of my plan for total world domination. I'm practicing the evil laugh and everything.
