Artist's Comments
Vote for Soldier's Scar's @ Brickfish: [link]
This was the first panel of my next S:dA entry. Well it still is, but I liked the idea so much, I made it it's own finished piece. This is one of those moments I wish I didn't have such a cartoony style, because cartoons get dismissed as not being serious or have any deeper meaning. I actually hide a lot of meaning behind my cartoons. I always wonder if someone ever catches it. Anyways, I know I've said Todd is never one to brood over things, but no soldier ever comes out of war without some scars. I gotta say that I'm at least proud that I did a serious background attempt. It wasn't an afterthought for once. Now it's time for bed. Zzzz... Daily DeviationGiven 2008-01-20"This picture, A Soldier's Scars by *kilojara16, is simply beautiful. It's an amazing work of art in its own right, combining simple shapes with stunning colours for a bold and larger-than life natural setting - it is a work of art. but in the same breath, it is a story. Comic artists are often not referred to as 'artists' because their primary goal is to tell a story. yet not even the most harden cynic would doubt this images artistic and narrative merit. it always takes my breath away. the metaphor, where the reflection in the water depicts the reflection in the character's mind; the contrast, between the violent, hot war scene and the peaceful jungle; and above all the way the picture sucks you right into the character's mind and soul, leaving you breathless, all makes this a top class image." - manic-pixie (Suggested by *manic-pixie and Featured by `misskittyoooo) |
