Sup, /k/.
I'm in the early stages of making a manga (or comic, since, you know, western) about the ACW.
The soldiers are all little girls. Commanders and politicians too.
What do the /k/ommandos think?
Also /ak/ thread, I guess.
Include a qt3.14 operator girl with cat ears for me anon? <3

>>28294270
Can we get a cameo of Zergface as an anime gorl?
>>28295490
For you, battle buddy!
>>28294270
Go for it.
>>28295539
>>28294270
I mean to be quite honest I'd just look at the common criticisms of stuff like upotte! and see what you could do differently as far as your realism aspect. I mean to please people around here you'll at least need realistic operating and not just "oh this gun blah blah blah was made in 1944 by Roody Tooty Point and Shooty Co."
Guys help what's ACW
>>28294270
Please make a wordpress or another site so we can follow the progress even after the thread dies.
I don't want to lose this ;;

Did I post that teaser of Groundless here, or on /a/...
I am fucked up atm, and I'm about to head out the door for another 8 hour shift... fuck me.
And sorry for everyone who was waiting for Chapter 4, work has been stupid busy. I'm finally getting off early today, and early tomorrow, so I'll try to finish the last few pages before Christmas Day.
Also, here is the first handful of pages of Chapter 4, for an early Christmas teaser.
>>28294270
Just write like six lines about fucking upottes up the butt and you'll get attention
>>28295884
Wow, after reading that, it's a garbled mess of sadness and angst... with a few violent undertones...
Just like this entire volume!
>>28295748
One can hope. It'll be interesting to see Stonewall Jackson as a catgirl.
>>28294270
Anyone have design ideas for the new /k/ approve anime infograph?
>>28295933
Note these are samples
>>28295950
...and that's all for now. There is another 20 pages, with about half being done, so I'll post the rest of them if both this (or another) thread is up and I finish tonight/tomorrow evening.
>>28295933
>>28295943
I had a sample one, too. I'll post it in a sec.
>>28295933
>>28295943
are you planning on separating them by categorys or just a huge list of animu
>>28295933
This is also a sample. It's not easy to read sadly, but you get the idea of what I was doing.
Also, I have a semi-master list for the shows I was going to put in the image series. If you want, I can post it up.
>>28295975
Category.
>>28295989
My intention with this one is just simply a rebuild / updating of the classic one that we've all seem of some various iteration of.
Where the fuck is OP
>>28296008
I wanted to give it a little flair, plus having descriptions and names helps people who are asking for dat sauce.
Also, I'm headed out now, so I'll be able to post the list in like... 8 hours?
>>28296008
classics : cowboy bebop, trigun, outlaw star, hellsing,
>>28295989
i like the idea of including synapses.
>>28296021
Yeah, I like what you've tried.
But I've been figuring out how to deal with the descriptions.
Kinda an issue of more info = larger image = harder to read.
>>28295670
The American Civil War, bud.
>>28294270
Oh God guys, I'm sorry. It was late as fuck when I posted the thread and I fell asleep!
I'm now ready to answer every question you may have about the project.
Again, sorry for posting and leaving!
>>28296059
please follow the request on >>28295707
and oh thank god OP hasn't died.
>>28294270
All Cosmetics Wholesale?
>>28294270
>>28296048
the first one or the one thats gonna happen next year
>>28296074
oh god my sides
>>28296074
The first one, bud.
>>28296066
The project is the early /early/ stages. All I've got is a manuscript and some random doodles for a shitty first page, and no title.
I was hoping that /k/ would suggest stuff to add to it, since the whole damn thing will be for you.
Up to now I've got Stonewall Jackson as a Catgirl, the Texas Brigade as Foxgirls and Robert E. Lee as a maid. Oh and Sherman as a tsundere towards Grant.
>>28296110
It may be in its early stages, but we need a small hub so we can follow this gem even after this thread dies.
You're doing the lord's work, bud, and I don't even believe in a god.
Also, please add some yuri. You can never go wrong with that.
>>28295989
Camouflage is intended to break up silhouettes and make things harder to see, y'know?
This is seriously hard to read. Don't use a camo pattern as the background.
>>28296128
Can we see what you have so far?
>>28296128
I'll make sure to make a wordpress on the double.
>>28296142
My scanner is broken, but if you wait a while I'll type the manuscript
>>28295884
Hey /ak/anon, do you have link to a gallery of all the Groundless translated scans? I missed a couple chapters and need to catch up.
>>28296149
Do you at least have a digital camera?
>>28295884
Thank you!
What's a good template for the wordpress thingy? I have no fucking idea on what all that stuff does
>>28296110
>Stonewall Jackson as a Catgirl
Love you OP <3
>>28296174
Yeah, but my drawings are shit. I'll upload everything I manage to do over the holidays to the wordpress thingy, once I manage to get it running.
I know you /k/ommandos are skeptical of things that don't have any proof, but I want to show you shit once it's at the very least not atrocious.
>>28296203
I'm not skeptical
More excited, actually.
Also, I'm going to mention this now, the whole thing is 2 people, I've got a friend of mine (who can actually fucking draw faces, since I'm good at bigger stuff like battles) helping my ass out.
If you have any questions about that or anything else, feel free to ask away.
>>28296215
I guess I'll type in the sorry excuse I've got for a story. This whole thing is for /k/, so I'll change stuff if you guys don't like it. J.ust give me a few minutes
>>28296029
Aye
As I said I'm using the classic one that we all know for a base since this is just a rebuild.
>>28296235
Can;t wait to see it.
The first panel starts with an aerial shot of 1st Bull Run, and the usual narration about how the war started and the like. Narration goes on for 7 or 8 panels, all showing different things like the Union flag, Confederate flag, Fort Sumter, some old documents, etc.
Then, next page or the 3rd (depending), we get a closeup to a soldier, Confederate, called Danna Jameson, form the 2nd Corps, Army of Northern Virginia.
We show some scenes of her and her line advancing towards something, and there it goes.
I've got ideas for spare scenes, like the death of Stonewall Jackson:
It's dark, our (at the time) heroine is camping with her friends after heavy fighting at Chancellorsville, when they hear horses a comin'.
Her commander, an insufferable Ojou-sama (you know the type) call the infamous "Halt, who goes there?"
After she responds "Stonewall Jackson", the Ojou opens up, screaming about Yankees.
And that's about what I got.
And, uh, I need a title for the wordpress thing. Can /k/ come up with one? Cuz I'm stumped.
>>28296352
Uncivil war?
>>28296361
Hmmm... Dunno, sounds good to me, but I'll wait for a few responses.
>>28294270

No compromise :^)
So in case anyone missed out, they translated the final chapter of the messed up GuP doujins by that guy who did the oriemo/k-on doujins that /a/ loved almost as much hana hook's works
>>28296135
It's a sample, I'll take the advice.
>>28296155
Either go on Batoto (sign up required), or the /ak/ wiki for direct download.

Lemme start work on the rest of the chapter, and I'll probably get it posted here soon, but I'll see how complicated the redraws are.

>What do the /k/ommandos think?
you don't care you just want people to post fap bait
>>28300777
Well, why do I spend my free time typesetting and releasing Groundless? It's not for any personal satisfaction, anon.
It's because you all need something new to talk about, with this dry-spell of /ak/-related things going on.
Well, S2 of GATE and some other things are coming, but not soon enough...

I like this picture it seems like the start of a good story.
Minor details to make sure your story is good, whichever direction it goes:
Characters need clear motivation for what they are doing and why they are doing it - For military stories, "the mission" is not good enough. Characters need their own personal motivations for why they are invested in the success of the mission or you can explore their reasons for joining the military and the struggle as it is only a stepping stone to what they really want to do in life (I only signed up for college is cliche, but it works)
Make sure you have realistic internal logic. You can have a realistic story with scifi elements. If you have super ninja operators who can cut dudes with Katanas, they can't exactly be running through an open field or take 9 billion bullets. Characters also need to react in certain ways and play up why it is "supernatural" - If there is a character who doesn't die when shot in the head because he's "immortal" or some shit, make sure you increase the drama and the tension in that scene
Attention to smaller details is key. The smaller the details your target demo will see, the better. You don't need to have hyper realistic art but things should just be as real as they would be in that world. In American Sniper the rifles evolved over the course of that movie in their timeline, even the PEQ's on the guns changed throughout the deployments.
Make sure you pace the story right, the main characters need flaws, if you need a romance make sure it is at maximum a love triangle with one obvious end point (Think Twilight, she obvious is going to end up with the fucking vampire but that stupid dog boy had a very small chance), find a plot that can drive your entire story, know when to end it and make sure you use foreshadowing from the beginning, but only enough to make fan theories but not enough for cold hard facts
to add to this guys point
why are women all the only operators and politicians. is it just some alternate world where men don't fight? that is boring. are the men too weak to fight? boring. for some reason are there not a lot of men and they can't be in fighting roles because they are needed for breeding? kind of interesting. What happened? Was there a plague that only killed off men? Declining birth rates? What are men's role in society!
This stuff is interesting to talk about, and makes people talk and question your worlds lore
I'm dumping scans for the new Gun & Girls Illustrated over here >>>/a/135165217

"For some of us, it was imperative that such little girls never saw the world of combat, to be touched by the flame of fury and anguish. We saw fit they lived their lives smiling, and protected them from the horrors of war. We never wanted the same suffering inflicted upon them. Never again."
dunno why this came up in my head. kind of like some insurgency's mission or some shit
Anyone have the new and improved /k/ approved anime list?

We can talk about Cadenza, we'll be getting it soon, and i found some spoiler heavy footage clips on youtube.

Guess I'll post my question here instead of making a new thread.
I'm really trying to find accurate onomatopoeia for various ordnance. For example, I'm sure you all know BANG isn't really what a AKM sounds like. Imo it sounds more like "KAK" when you're in a large open space.
Then there's stuff like MLRS launches, RPGs, heavy MGs and AA gun sounds that I'm not too familiar with. If anyone has an idea/experience, mind offering an onomatopoeia?
Once again another ak thread goes opr8r chan
