After the Krauts and the Tommies, meet the Poilus. Before you ask, I did use a reference (not for the faces, obviously). I'm not that good yet, sorry.

So yes, what to say about this piece. It took me only 3 days, that's a lot of improvement since the last two ones took weeks. I did not get lazy this time. I wanted to do another kind of group picture (two ranks of soldiers became a boring idea.)

I don't think I'll make other WW1 groups now, let that serie die on a high note.

Ahh watch out Frenchies!!! German's in the trench!!! German's in the trench!!!

As always nice job, I can't get enough of the shading!

Of the series, it's certainly your best work in terms of all technical aspects.

The problem to me, however, is that they don't, excluding the fellow in the hat and the guy with a missing tooth above him, strike me as blatantly French-looking. :|

Imho, the Germans did not relly looked blatantly German-Looking, same with the english.

Anyway, that's your opinion. I saw french people looking like the ones in the pictures.

- 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?

Striking, all the expressions!

What makes it look better from the krauts 'n tommies is that this one has better effect of shading, dark is really dark, and light is really light =P
:iconmikoyan:
prime example of how the french lost both world wars =p
