Incredibly grim and moving. I love the detailing and stylization of the figures. Excellent perspective and depth. The subject matter is depressing, but effectively illustrated. Great color scheme.

Thanks for the comment & the Fav. I don't usually go for political subject matter, but this seemed like an issue that doesn't seem to be touched very often by artist that have a comic book-esq style. Thought I'd try applying my sensabilities to something different.

The use of style and color is very nice, and of course the composition is to die for. (not a bad pun, just an expression)

Very unique, I wish we saw more work like this in the political section, rather than the two dozen stick figures of "LOLZ i hayt bush LOLZOMGZ!"

Thanks... much appreciated.

I think it would be very interesting to see some more artists from DA taking on some geo-political topics, considering the wealth & diversity of talent on this site.

...And thx for the fav, btw

No problem ;)

I would like to see more geo-political topics, because it's obvious we have a diversified group of artists here. There are people from all around the world.
