Description

This piece certainly took a long time to make and i really hope you enjoy it. Earlier in the week i watched the Mel Gibson classic 'When we were soldiers' and everytime i see a good war movie it really moves me, so i took it upon me to go to work on a war piece. I started by throwing together a few vector soldiers and civilians battling it out on the streets. Then with a lot of painting and a drawing i created on the wacom, i started to create some buildings in the background. After a bit of duplicating and painting to create a more contrasted burnt down look i took a selection of brushes from deviantART and went to work on the sky, leaving a part white so i could place a paratrooper falling from a falling helicopter proper urban war style. I know a lot of you will find flaws in this, but in a way i find this good as i went into so much detail there is room for flaw as f i made it so simpl it would be harder to flaw so i am greatly proud of this and wish many thanks to anyone who comments and favs this piece

Very incredibly moving. It's so nice to see people who still support our troops. My brother is a Marine in training and it's people like you who keep him and his fellow soldiers motivated. Thank You.
