Artist's Comments

First things first, Halo rules!!:) It's obviously my inspiration for this one... But secondly, it's the idea that when it comes down to it, fighting is a deeply personal thing. It's a harsh thing to think about and reflect on. So I'm portraying this soldier taking a step back, while he can, to take it all in. The Uncle Sam poster on the wall does in no way indicate that the soldier is American, but does indicate the continuous 'want' for military defense, in any country, or on any planet for that matter.

This is amazing, and the helmet of the soldier reminded me of Master Chief/spartans. I love the textures and the colors used to create the mood. Awesome job :3. :+fav:

:faint: This is amazing. Theres so much texture in there. I can never be bold enough to work so sketchily. I especially like those rake brushes. Did you make them, or do you know somewhere I can download some?

The textures and mood are awesome... I've really just got into making my own brushes in the past week, and I'm loving it. You can do so much more when you don't rely on other people's :D :+fav: for sure.

So glad you all dig this, I had fun doing it, the more dirty and gritty you make something, the more you can get away with:)

Larkin- I think I found that rake online somewhere, do a google search for it. But I modified it so it had an original touch. So I recommend making your own, it's pretty darrn easy...do a search for that as well.

Nice work. The feel of it is just right.
