Return to Castle Fegelstein alpha by @Thorvald (El Thorvaldo)

My inauguration into Gmod 13. I'd been held up for months by a single DYOS comic; experience has taught me never to assume backwards compatibility, so in the interest of assuring my work would not evaporate, I put off updating until I'd finished the page, which I finally completed yesterday.

When e350tb showcased the Sniper Elite 2 Hitler model, I knew what I had to do. This was conceived as part of a more elaborate project inspired by Modern Videogame Box Art, which I hope to follow up sooner rather than later.

The picture itself is spartan since I'm working on sorting out which addons still work and which I might have to ditch. The camera angle distorts the posture, and Dolfy's mise-en-scène will be reworked in future drafts. The only thing harder than posing a bullpup rifle is doing so with barbwire fencing that inflicts player damage.
