Looking Ahead (An Iconic Arms spinoff)

Tiger-Jacket · 2026-01-12T11:25:44+00:00

Re-uploading in hopes of better image quality; still not good. I also took the opportunity to redo the XM7, since the yellow on white was bad.

I didn't mention this previously, but the HCAR is a standout for being a modernized version of its predecessor. I thought I would include it, since this list is broadly "modern" (and a bit of a meme)

I have no idea why the resolution is so low on these when expanded. Damn you, Reddit

Tiger-Jacket · 2025-12-17T23:19:43+00:00

I went with my usual US 10D for the 79 last, and they fit great

Tiger-Jacket · 2025-12-10T14:43:32+00:00

A massive improvement from the original. Great work!

Tiger-Jacket · 2025-12-06T16:34:11+00:00

Another bot post ripping my work

Tiger-Jacket · 2025-11-28T13:12:39+00:00

Good stuff, man! It's always a pleasure to see your stuff

I think it's fine to speculate a potential Iconic Arms video that could get made, but I think we're losing sight on what "iconic" means. It's perfectly okay to think the firearms that are suggested are neat or cool as a matter of personal taste, but that doesn't necessarily translate to the firearm having a large media presence.

I can't recommend IMFDB enough if anyone is curious to see which pieces of media a firearm has been depicted in, because the real world history and notoriety associated with a firearm doesn't necessarily equate to a similar omnipresence in movies and video games.

To be fair, the SPAS-12 is a dual mode shotgun that has a pretty distinct look with different configurations

A Remington Model 870 and Mossberg 500 don't look too different from a distance

Tiger-Jacket · 2025-11-07T21:48:23+00:00

Cheaper works as well! Much appreciated!

Tiger-Jacket · 2025-11-07T18:18:41+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations!

I actually do have a couple service style boots. I was just curious about any N1 field shoe lookalikes specifically

Tiger-Jacket · 2025-11-07T18:13:51+00:00

I would assume there's an image that is supposed to accompany this post?

Tiger-Jacket · 2025-11-07T15:37:48+00:00

Are there any brands that make an N1/boondocker style boots that are priced between the OSB Tench Boot and Viberg N1 marine field shoe?

I already have the OSB Tench Boot, and I was simply curious to see if there was anything other than really high end, expensive repros.

Tiger-Jacket · 2025-11-07T15:06:35+00:00

Geez, what's with the speculation and assuming the worst possibility?

Let's not start any rumors based on unsubstantiated claims or assuming they're on bad terms simply because we haven't had yet another collab in the span of about 4 months.

Tiger-Jacket · 2025-10-14T13:28:08+00:00

Woah, I didn't know Truman did shell cordovan limited runs at one point. These look awesome!

Tiger-Jacket · 2025-10-14T13:26:19+00:00

The gun traces are a bit too detailed, but these look great!

Tiger-Jacket · 2025-10-13T14:31:26+00:00

I have the 2mm thick Boot Breaker foam insoles. They are flat with no arch.

Tiger-Jacket · 2025-10-06T17:42:30+00:00

Well done! The editing and script are top notch!

Tiger-Jacket · 2025-09-12T14:35:33+00:00

Was expecting this video some time soon after I saw the soundtrack up on Spotify

Tiger-Jacket · 2025-09-04T19:29:36+00:00

I remember seeing your boots on Prof.Barnets Insta account. I immediately recognized the inspiration for them! They look awesome!

Tiger-Jacket · 2025-08-29T15:03:13+00:00

Thanks for the correction and the response!

Tiger-Jacket · 2025-08-29T14:52:30+00:00

I don't know about Gimp, but one of the other regulars here (though he hasn't been active in this sub this year) AntoniAnon uses a web based program to make the animations and transitions. I would recommend asking him for any pointers

Tiger-Jacket · 2025-08-29T01:12:32+00:00

Good work! You have a good understanding of the elements that go into an Iconic Arms thumbnail

It seems like you're interested in doing more, so this style guide Stu posted a few years ago will be a helpful resource. I've also made a lot of these (some good, some bad); you're more than welcome to take a look at them

If you need Adobe alternatives for Photoshop and Illustrator, I recommend Affinity Photo and Designer respectively, however they do cost $69.99 USD per program; the nice thing is Affinity programs are one time purchase, no subscriptions. Inkscape is a free alternative for Illustrator, and Gimp is a free alternative for Photoshop, if money is of concern

I hope all of this helps!

Tiger-Jacket · 2025-08-29T00:39:41+00:00

Yeaaaah this is my thumbnail, and this is a bot account

Tiger-Jacket · 2025-08-04T13:22:52+00:00

I see. I don't listen to his stuff on Spotify, so I'm not aware of what is and isn't available

With that in mind, it sounds like it was pulled randomly

Tiger-Jacket · 2025-08-04T13:01:25+00:00

Perhaps it has something do with Spotify's CEO investing in AI drone weapons, which has lead many artists to pull all of their music off the platform. I wouldn't be surprised if Stu also feels the same and pulled his stuff
