ACUPAT

Description

The current camouflage pattern used by the U.S Army, it's now been phased out slowly by the Multicam pattern.
Not really a "Universal" camouflage pattern but it seems to be work well in the rocky mountains of A-Stan and most urban scenarios. But I like the looks of it.

Took 2 hours for the coloring and probably half an hour for sketching.

Lineart was done with a 0.5mm mech pencil.
Base coloring was done with PS CS5, along with the ACUPAT.
Shading and extra details were done with Paint Tool SAI.

The ACUPAT/UCP is a pain to the rear to paint :X but less than CADPAT, MARPAT or even Multicam since it has only 3 colors.

EDIT: Darkened the lineart. Definitely need to do that step before coloring.

The ACU was always going to be a stop gap until something better came out. Going from the BDU was just too green (set for a Western European fight) for action in the Middle East. I am surprised we didn't sell all of them to the rebuilt Iraq military.
