Thank you!
Yes, looks like it is one of the toughest territories in Afghanistan. Same as Helmand and others.

Reminds me on RESTREPO

PredatoryApe In reply to BigMikeAtTt [2011-03-01 18:13:06 +0000 UTC]

Yes. I was very impressed with this movie some time ago. Same as Inside Green Berets, Armadillo etc.

BigMikeAtTt In reply to PredatoryApe [2011-03-01 18:21:51 +0000 UTC]

Restrepo was epic - because of the shown truth, and that the one soldier cried like a baby after the ambush. It was shocking for me to see, but american people have to see that. And the horrible amount of dead civilians. All because of the oil... Disgusting.

By the way - GREAT Work (art)! :handskake:

PredatoryApe In reply to BigMikeAtTt [2011-03-01 18:31:33 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I agree with you about Restrepo... It is very dramatic movie, like you say, because of truth. It was impressing...

thank you!

Holy damn nice job! Excellent atention to detail. At first I thought it was a photo and that's ultimately what most artists try to do

Thank you for the kind words! But I know that there are still a lot of things to learn for me )

I don't think you have much left to learn unless this piece was done freehand or you copied a picture.

While the village and the soldiers clothes look almost real, the face doesn't seem to fit, most likely due to the lack of detail (in the face) compared to everything else in the piece.

hey, thanks for the critics! i appreciate this!
yeah, it's still hard for me to draw realistic faces (

VSBoD In reply to PredatoryApe [2011-03-02 09:35:31 +0000 UTC]

Faces, hands and feet are the toughest parts to draw on the human body. When i finally was able to draw hands perfectly, feet appeared and i screamed in agony. Good luck soldier.
