Artist's Comments

The sun lingers hot and livid
Twilight's relief to come another day
Stories told in hues too vivid
Of tomorrow's plight and disarray

yep. I've been perusing the photos taken by troops in combat, instead of the Newsweek ones. Not many of them are powerful, but I found a few. This was the only one that had good composition and I still cropped it a bit. Most of the pictures are of people sitting on the side of an Apache ora couple guys horsing around, but there's a few in action and a few of those that are really good.

There's a clip on the front of the helmet, I think to attach NVGs to. He's grasping the helmet by that, so that's why the fingers seem short and odd. He's got his four fingers clamped under the top of the clip and his thumb under the front of the helmet.

That's just awesome. I love the whole tone-on-tone look, mainly because I cannot manage to work that way myself for some reason.

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
You are his life, his love, his leader.
He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

+fav. It's very powerful, serene at the same time. Really says alot about what people forget about. That there are men in those uniforms. The helmets make them sweat too. It is beautifully rendered. Very lifelike, and the choice of materials is excellent. Giving it that desert color, and that faded look. I love it.

Very life like drawing! I think this pose says a lot more about what's going on out there than if he was standing at attention ready to fire. great job!

I've got another one similar to this one coming called Last Man Standing.

(Just FYI, standing at attention is when superior officers enter a room. It's a show of respect and typically never happens in combat. No one really cares how your fire, as long as it's both in the right direction and hitting something... :-D )
