This is awesome work! I love the idea behind it.

One critique, your magazine angle is a bit off on the gun. It's a bit too far forward..

Edit: I saw the reference, OP is correct

Hey thank you so much for your feedback. I should have used more references. I'll definitely try to be more precise when rendering real world objects going forward, cheers! 😀

Yeah absolutely! I'm a bit of a gun nerd.

Would it be better if instead the artist went with a bolt-action abomination of an AK chambered in .308" Winchester?

No they could just have painted the mag correctly. No one is questioning what round the gun is chambered in. Art doesn't need to be that precise.

I think he was more taking a jab at the absolutely batshit homemade firarms that come out of Khyber Pass (like a bolt action ak chambered in .308) than critiquing op

Isn't this discussion about the magazine being 9 degrees off kilter?

Because that is very jarring. You can't notice that the bore might be too large. But you can notice when a magazine looks wildly off from the real gun. Especially when it's such a well known gun.

Why did you get downvoted for this? Lol. You gave your opinion

I don't have a problem with it. My opinion was ultimately wrong.

Yeah you’re not wrong on the first observation, and then you have the original photo which is a homemade magazine which you probably haven’t seen before. Probably would’ve helped if the reference was included somewhere beforehand

I agree it looks weird but it actually matches the source pic as far as I can tell. Maybe the mag was so strange because it was custom?

The angle is actually correct it's just not as long as it should be, the original reference is a 50 round mag

Huh you may be right!

Anything other than a 30rd mag always looks kinda weird

It looked extra weird here, but the original photo looks weird too.
