Got another piece I wanted to share, because it gives me a reason to update this thread.
Voltage-X on FA has been doing some pay-what-you-want streams recently. I watched for an evening or two, and decided to jump in on it myself. She does some very cute work, and probably should have more watchers than she has right now. /shameless plug
I couldn't come up with any ideas though, so I linked my ref and told the other people watching to come up with something. Somebody said 'He'd make a cute Rambo'. And thus, this happened
I added the idea to make it a NERF gun and darts because, well... NERF WARS! But I also wanted to keep it fun and light, and thought the NERF gun just kinda pulled it all together.
