I just added this image to my Sketchbook. It’s working title is Last Stand. This image is depicting three soldiers amidst a heavily-damaged, rubble-strewn city and in a battle with an unseen enemy. This is a very “tight” pencil rendering that I will use as a guide for a colored piece.

Let me know what you think.

So, I was perusing the Internet the other day, searching for inspiration for a future illustrations, when I came across a couple of images. When I saw them, I said to myself, “I gotta draw these.” So, I did. I hope you like them.
