Submission for :iconweekly-art-club:

Project 010B - War emblem.

Started this trying to incorporate the basics of a war emblem, a weapon, an animal, a crest and a battle cry.
Had a lot of different things in mind, trying to subtly combine them together in an interesting way. Realized quickly that I needed to not try to force so many elements into it and find one theme.

Ended up with a patriotic statement that I am pretty happy with.

The quote is from the Poem "In Flanders Fields" by Canadian physician and Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, written during World War I, after he witnessed the gruesome death of his friend. The poem is part of Remembrance Day ceremonies in Allied countries which contributed troops to WWI.

wow, this is really good stuff. I love the texture. it looks very different from your other works, but with the same cleanliness that I'm very jealous of.

The message is moving and works well with the art.
