Artist's Comments

Long time since I made something serious. It was fun to make.

This picture was taken a few days after D-day, in 1944. It represents two american soldiers playing with a young french girl's puppy. I don't know anything more.

rwjtrw4tw This is awesome. The faces are positively perfect, and the way the girl look shell-shicked yet happy is very unique. The uniforms and the folds in them, though based off a photograph, are still excellently done. I salute you. :salute:

- How do they start a war?
- Well, one country offends another.
- How could one country offend another? You mean there's a mountain over in Germany gets mad at a field over in France?

Woohoo, amazing detail and everything else (even when it's a copy of a photo). Faving it is obligatory, soldier.

It's very nicely done. The overall linework is crisp and clear, and the shading is good too.

Comics, cartoons, paintings... I try.
