Description Have YOU watched "The Unit"? Why? Because it's just so darn AWESOME!

Y'see, "the unit" is about an elite special forces of the United States Army, more commonly known as the Delta Force. The "unit" these men serve in technically doesn't "exist", as in it's not supposed to be there and the army doesn't keep any records of it. Heck, the police don't even have any of the fingerprints of the men serving in the unit. Hence they are "black ops". Now, this ain't a "lame", or "cheesy" show, they're actually quiet serious. It's also not a lot of "gore" or "dumb action", there are many plot twists as the men are resourceful and intelligent enough to get themselves out of trouble, as their occupations are always fraught with difficulties. And then there's the "wives' tales" to show what happens back home, which I personally take an interest in, probably because I'm a girl myself.

Too bad it got canceled after its 4th season, which was left kinda cut-off and on a cliff hanger. CBS really didn't know what it was kicking out the door.

So, I thought as a tribute to Alpha team, which is the team the show mainly focuses on, I thought I'd make an artwork of them.

The team:
-Top left: Master Sergeant Mack Gerhardt (second in command)
-Top middle: Sergeant Major Jonas Blane (team leader)
-Top right: Colonel Tom Ryan (commander of the unit as a whole)
-Bottom left: Sergeant First Class Charles Grey (third in command)
-Bottom middle: Sergeant First Class Bob Brown (Newbie)
-Bottom right: Sergeant First Class Hector Williams (4th in command)

I'm not that good at capturing the likenesses of Max Martini, Dennis Haysbert, Robert Patrick, Michael Irby, Scott Foley and Demore Barnes, so please forgive me if they don't look like what they should be.

You're another unit fan? On Deviantart? Awesome! I know an average viewer age of 55 for the Unit seemed like total garbage coming from CBS, but I really had no idea there were unit fans on deviantart - mostly because I only see one fanfiction and that's it.

But yeah, I'll be sure to let you know when I'm done with Jonas and Alpha team. Right now I'm outlining the lineart in pen so I can color it better in photoshop.

sounds good! i'd love to see it finished!

and yeah, we're a small group. I found a jonas icon on here several months ago, and in today's search i found your WIP pic and a fanfic. ...and 55 as an average viewing age? That is garbage! I was 13 when season 1 started and I still tell people it's my favorite show
