: I'm getting pretty close to finishing a piece that I thought I would use for
: one of the ending screens for M1A1. Even though it's against my religion,
: I thought I'd show it even though it's not quite done.
: What's left to do? Overall cleanup, more detailing/damaging of the armor,
: maybe somemore pointless detail on the background, making his face look
: more like Barney Fife in order to stay consistent with the Counterattack
: piece... ;) Maybe ditch the AR (which I blatantly reused from the
: Counterattack piece) and replace it with the SPNKR or something. Maybe
: give him a right arm. You tell me what it needs.
: The link below has a couple of the work in progress shots too, so you can see
: the original sketch and a color/value rough if you're interested in that
: sort of thing.
Criminy, that's like Michelangelo asking the disgusting, uneducated, smarmy, unwashed, earthy rabble of his time what the Mona Lisa needs... Forming an unruly mob that would tumble from the brothels and spill into the canals they would respond in a single voice, "TITS! It needs big naked GAZONGAS!" So in like mind - in my own Marathonish "carnal" thinking - I can only respond in my OWN disgusting, uneducated, smarmy, unwashed, earthy rabblese, "Blood! It needs open bleeding wounds!!"
