The Last Artilleryman Standing

Description

I'm not so thrilled with the name, but that's been a curse I've had since day #1 on deviantART .

However, I've been mostly in the dark here for more than a week, with no new deviations up throughout my Spring Break., so I felt like I had to bite the bullet and finish a few deviations to at least show that I'm not finished.

Here I drew up a lone artilleryman of the Continental Line covering his ears as a his cannon fires. If you look closely at the 2 corpses beside him, they have no pupils. This was actually a style I first adopted as early as 2007, when I started making drawings of battles and history. When I was a mentally psychotic 12 year old I just wanted to draw dead bodies with no eyes, and lots and lots of blood all over them. Here as a semi-pshychotic 19 year old I still portrayed death but with less emphasis on the gore. 

Additionally if you look a the background, all of the tree lines across the picture are composed of vertical lines of orange, brown, green, yellow, grey, and gold. and there are 2 red rectangles. This was my attempt at experimenting with a minimalist style since drawing smaller figures from a distance is difficult for most artists.

Anyways here is a new deviation, I hope you like it, and I hope you all had a happy Easter. :D (Big Grin)
