Artist's Comments

This painting was inspired by hours and hours of playing Call of Duty 2 and 3 on my Xbox 360. I think I did this about 4 months ago but never posted it. We all know how terrible WWII was, or any war for that matter, but something about the iconography of the German soldiers is fascinating to me. The soldier's helmet and the red flags are reminiscent of WWII but with my own take on it. I envisioned this being some kind of future ad campaign for enlisting soldiers at the end of the world. I was going to add text to it digitally but thought it might ruin the piece, so I left it alone. Hope ya like it...

This picture is really good, I love the colors used. I think the skulls at the top are really awesome. I love how you put so much thought into your artwork.

I can see this as a campaign against war or something. Like having it say something like "Preparing for war is preparing to die, Will you give your life and join us in Army" Or "To stay is to die to stay away is saving lives,Which will you choose?" So I really like your Painting its very eeire and kind of brings a cold air like preparing for ww111. Are we ready?
