All I could think when I saw this...was that he was wearing the BDU's wrong lol. Nice shot though, and cool that he did that.

His uniform. It's the old style BDU, or Battle-Dress Uniform.

Ahhh! I think this is what he was issued in the last couple of years or more recently. I really don't know. He came home from the academy with this, and we used it.

It's no worries. It's just an Army thing. "Tuck your trousers into your boots you poge!"

Ooooh! Yeah, he said he brought the wrong boots, and he wore them this way to not be noticed. I wouldn't know the difference. Boots are boots... Socks are socks. But apparently, the military has their ways. I'm so grateful to those that have served in the military. I could never be in that kind of lifestyle. I simply wouldn't survive for long. By the time I got my first blister, people would be begging me to leave the ranks.

FantasyStock In reply to OibyrdsDDs [2006-06-13 18:53:00 +0000 UTC]

It's one of my favs too. Although, I like the one where he's a sniper, sleeping with his finger on the trigger! That's a fun one!

In looking at your signature (off topic a bit), drop me a note if you have suggestions on how I can help.

Hi There!
You have just earned yourself an O.D.D. stock feature ! congrats!
ODDS (oibyrd's daily deviations) are to honor the sometimes overlooked artists of dA that I personally think deserve some exposure (and ALSO, to show off people who I think are undeniably talented in their own genre of art, REGARDLESS of their #'s of fav's or pageviews. I like what I like and sometimes artwork isn't featured in the regular DDs because it's popular all on it's own It's a shame, but the admins are only trying to be fair! ). Please click the link below to see your work featured and to view other featured artists . If you prefer not to be a featured artist, just send me a note and I will remove you from the list. Cheers! xoxo Sandi oxo

Yeah, he's a sweetie! AND kind of a cutie too. But I still see him as my little kid brother that's always been there for me. And thank you for the compliment! This particular pose was his idea.

not to be cheeky or wrong or anything..but your bro is a bit of a spunk!

good shot too btw. i cant draw men to save my life, but if i could, this would be something i'd use.

FantasyStock In reply to AussieMum [2006-05-12 08:13:53 +0000 UTC]

A "spunk?" Is that like a skunk?
Anyway, thank you!
...And I think it's good to practice figure drawing, but I agree. Women ARE easier to draw.

AussieMum In reply to FantasyStock [2006-05-12 09:05:01 +0000 UTC]

lol..he's a spunk..a hunk...bit of a hottie...er...nice looking guy? lol.

i try to practice with drawing guys, but they always come out looking...really really odd. like a manly woman. i think women are easy coz they are all curves and sensualness. men are more...blocky? lol..i dunno. i'm terrible at drawing mechanical things, and they are all blocky, so men must be in the same catagory.

tehkella In reply to AussieMum [2006-05-31 01:39:36 +0000 UTC]

Spunk is an Aussie word for a hot guy - however, it's from a certain age group, I don't think the "kids" of today use it. So I'm thinking AussieMum is in her mid-20's+ ... I still use the word "spunk" or "spunky" myself hehe

FantasyStock In reply to AussieMum [2006-05-12 10:28:52 +0000 UTC]

Well, yeah, I admit it too. Even though he's my brother, he has a certain charm about him. Well, that's more on the inside maybe. Actually, even with guns and military costumes, he still kinda looks "cutesie-pie" kid-like to me.

Manly women! HAH! I love that! It's true! Very true!!! They often DO come out looking like manly women in lots of art I've seen. The male physique is more of a challenge for lots of artists - but I also see women as softer, easier with smooth, curved lines, as you say. Men are somewhat more rigid, especially in the jaw and brow. It's easy to finish male sketches looking like apes.

AussieMum In reply to FantasyStock [2006-05-12 22:13:10 +0000 UTC]

lmfao @ "It's easy to finish male sketches looking like apes. " lol...omg, so true. like i said, mine are either manly women, or i go too Arnold Swatzenegger and they look like...crazy muscle bound apes.

i think your bro might be older than me..lol..so he doesnt look like a cutsie-pie kid at all.

FantasyStock In reply to AussieMum [2006-05-13 03:44:32 +0000 UTC]

Sometimes "crazy muscle bound apes" is a good thing. Conan the Barbarian is one of those types. So it works out happily for some things.

He's only 21 though. But I think he's a mature 21.
