Wip From A Style Exercise

some concept art from the very very beginning of this project (oldest being the im westen nichts neues poster) from when i had planned to make it traditionally. these are only sketches, but i actually have some more with ink, which i can not upload with these because of the post limit :/

all of these were made between late february-early march and april

also sorry for the bad quality of the photos, digital has its benefits ig, but let me know if you'd like to see more

one test page still requires a minimum of a two hour research on great war german pistols and how you load them *sigh*

one christmas when i was about eight i asked my grandparents to get me all the wimpy kid books that were out at the time and proceeded to binge all of them during winter break

hands down best christmas i've had in the past 10 years of my life

Younger me didn’t know that I’ll end up in an abyss.

me when realise i didn't draw the two microscopic NCO buttons on the collar of the lance corporal uniform (nodoby cares)

Obsessed with military nerds who are willing to risk a court-martial at best and accused of treason at worst because their favourite tank/aeroplane is ever so slightly wrong (often to the degree that 99% of regular people wouldn't even notice) in a video game

accidentally catching a temporary exhibition right before it closes and seeing your favourite artist there hits unexpectedly hard

textures

i love people in a way i can't really explain; it's kind of like the part of humanism that praises the human condition from a physical perspective, because every time i draw or paint faces i feel kind of grateful to be able to notice details that don't really matter in general
