Good ol' 'Manilla' John... Welp, I'm off to find a M1917 and re-enact Bloody Ridge.

I'm surprised there's very little deviations of John Basilone, He's the greatest military hero who's earned the Medal of Honor because of sheer will, bravery, and determination he annihilated the Japanese infantry because he was and went beyond human limitations, I failed to pay my respects to him at Arlington Cemetery because the bitches there don't know where the FUCK HE'S BURIED AT THERE! HE MANNED AN M1917 MACHINE GUN FOR 3 FUCKING DAYS AND 3 FUCKING NIGHTS WITH NO SLEEP, NO FOOD, NO DRINK, NO COFFEE, NOTHING! AND NOBODY ELSE BUT YOU HAVE MADE A MASTERPIECE TO HONOR HIM! And I thank you for that!

Thank you! I do all my art in Photoshop CS2 with an Aiptek tablet. I use a certain set of brushes and some images for reference, simple as that really

according to tom hanks the pacific will be shown in japan on the coming months and he is already expecting harsh criticism from the Japanese people.

what your reaction on this?, for me there's a bitter in my mouth because my country is one of the countries that japan ravage during ww2

This will prove to be your most appreciated pacific artwork by the greater number of fans. It's exquisite, especially the expression. You can feel the weight of the Medal on his soul.
