Favorite Characters
Gun Pictures
Screencaping
I usually buy/rent my movies from iTunes (either in HD [occurs more often] or in standard definition) and then use Snipping Tool (automatically comes with Windows 7) to screencap. If I am watching a movie from a DVD or Blu-Ray, I use VLC and select the "Snapshot" button. I then tweak the screenshot with Photoshop or use the video settings in VLC to adjust my screenshots with sharpness or correct it.
Drawings
Here are drawings that I drew(I am good at drawing simple weapons like the M1911A1, but can't draw humans good somehow). I'll try to upload more.
