Description Finally finished the colored version of my 9-11 tribute drawing.
I'm very happy with how it came out, especially how Alfred looks.

hope you all like the colored version as much as I do, and never forget what happened on Tuesday September 11, 2001

thank you~ I had "Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning" by Allan Jackson on a loop from start to finish while working on this piece, and i can't listen to it without crying so it helped me put that emotion into the piece

I was about only 2 or 1 when it happened. I was reading these old newspapers I found about it they just made me depressed :/

I remember watching the news footage the morning after it happened. I will never forget seeing that thick black smoke coming from the buildings

DaAwsomeOne In reply to maypleleaf0701 [2012-09-21 02:42:17 +0000 UTC]

I just imagined all those people. When I was younger I heard the story and saw videos it really scared me cause you never know when it can happen.

maypleleaf0701 In reply to DaAwsomeOne [2012-09-21 02:44:52 +0000 UTC]

It shocked everyone in America because nothing like this had ever happened since Pearl Harbor.

Nowadays I can't watch any movie/documentary made about 9-11 because I remember photos and video of people from the higher floors jumping off the buildings because they knew they couldn't be rescued.

DaAwsomeOne In reply to maypleleaf0701 [2012-09-21 02:47:00 +0000 UTC]

And then when they play all those screams of those people who were stuck in those building's it just makes you shiver.

maypleleaf0701 In reply to DaAwsomeOne [2012-09-21 02:49:37 +0000 UTC]

it makes me want to cry. every year I listen to a song by Allan Jackson called "Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning?"
I can never sing it without crying, and that is the only song I listened to while working on this piece.

thank you, I had Allan Jackson's "Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning?" on a loop while working on this piece.
if you haven't heard it before look it up, its a very beautiful and very sad song. It makes you think about the events of 9-11 and what you were doing that day.

thank you~! Drawing on the computer feels so much more natural now that I bought my pen tablet. it helps to make my pieces look more natural vs using a line tool to trace the drawings that i scanned into my computer.

i watched some of the news footage while working on this and even now I still cry and just sit there in complete shock.
The smoke that came from the towers was pitch black with almost no grey in it, and I used a skyline of NYC where the towers would stand for the background
