Description
First completed project of the year and it's already quite depressing. It's good to be back, though.

This is based on characters and events from Until the End, a long running thing I'm doing that's probably never going to be complete but yeah, this is based on it (I say based on because it's not exactly canon). This is Amber, mourning the death of a fellow freedom fighter at a makeshift war burial ground, where planks of wood and broken weapons are used as grave markers. The deceased's friends lovingly carved a wing in her marker, to honour her service as a pilot.

As the burial site was made bordering a war zone, it's regularly plagued by airstrikes, which is what's happening here. What I was trying to show here was the absolute cruelty and humiliation war inflicts on many of its victims; destroying their lives, tarnishing their legacies, and not allowing them to be mourned.

I used this stock photo by faestock (dA is refusing to link to her, no clue why) for pose reference, and got a lot of inspiration from this photo of a Ju 87 attacking a British supply depot in Libya. Here's the album I saw it in, there's a lot of other amazing WW2 photos over there as well.

Oh, also, it's pretty hard to tell but on the pilot I'm just not going to name because spoilers maybe? is a flag that says 'She was free'. On the sign tied to the gun on the right it says 'Father of two, brother of many. Miss you buddy.' I thought of putting a name on it, but thought that would take something from it.

I'm rather proud of this one, and I really hope you guys like it.
