Description
Referenced used: fav.me/db9artz by the awesome SenshiStock I love using her stock. Can't promote her enough XDHeavily referenced...especially with the gun...mostly the gun. I suck at drawing weapons. The original photo was posted almost a year ago but I just now got around to doing a picture. Also...yeah hey guys! 8D I've never really left just...things happened in my life and I kinda...dropped almost everything. I did another picture back in February but didn't post it. This was a pose I wanted to use for Luke for awhile and I really wanted to share it.
As for the fate of the RP series...I'm still figuring that out. I'll let you know. I'd rather focus on this for now.
This is sort of a companion piece to one I did before. This is set in the same battle.
I envisioned Luke sitting on a stone finding a relatively quiet corner to pray for strength and guidance. All of the blood isn't necessarily his...I almost imagine someone laying there either dead or dying. Perhaps they got carted off by medics, and Luke paused to pray before he inevitably has to duck out back into the burning and bloody battlefield. The graffiti is courtesy of their enemy. The M is actually a symbol of a V placed over an M and is the malevil symbol, and also the symbol for Mukot's forces in general. I wanted a feeling of chaos under the surface, while the sense of calm, the deep breath taken to block everything out shines through as he sits solemnly, praying.
I can't get away from drawing Luke honestly XD But hey, at least I am drawing. This took me around a week working a few hours each night to finish.
I love the camouflage pants...it's taken awhile to learn how to shade them right but I like how they came out here. His hair is a pain as always, and again, heavy reference on the gun. It's not perfect but it's passable XD I wanted to use this for the longest time and inspiration just hit. At least you all can see I've not totally lost what little skill I had XD Again credit to Senshistock for the reference photo. It really helps me practice anatomy.
...I really can't get away from Luke just all the emotions with him are unreal XD Anyway...yeah not dead guys I've been here I've just been largely silent. Hopefully I can get back into things gradually. Don't expect any journals though cause I don't wanna lose the one on my front page since I have no sub anymore. Love you guys!
Luke Bertier belongs to me.

Oh my goodness, I just realized that I've heard my husband talk about SenshiStock before. I hadn't made the connection until now, but I remember him showing me her page. I think that's great!
Wow, I really do like the mood you've captured in this pic. It's so dark and dreary, and I like how there's a shadow cast completely over Luke. It's like he's just kind of overshadowed by everything that's going on around him. Also, the little sparkly embers flying through the air around him are a nice touch. I think you pretty much thought of every little thing while working on this pic (the blood stains, the graffiti) - I don't think there's a detail I would change. It all fits so nicely together to create such an intense atmosphere!
Also, I would like to commend you on the gun. I know they're a pain to draw. I don't really even have the patience to try, so to me it's impressive when I see people that do draw them! Great work!

Haha that's awesome! I do enjoy using her stock, and she's a very friendly person as well the stock just helps me improve anatomy mostly and I need a ton of improvement there XD
I'm glad you do! I wanted to really capture the sense of the battle...this picture is actually the sequel picture to one I did of Leslie Paylor that was called For the Lost. She's bent over some dog tags in a pool of blood; they're actually Luke's, as you notice, he's not wearing his in the picture. I imagine one of the enemies yanked them off him somehow and he just hadn't noticed. Here he's likely helped a fellow soldier and is just catching his breath and praying before he steps out again into the fray. He doesn't even realize he's lost his tags and someone's frantic wondering what became of him. Unaware, shaken, under stress...but completely calm over-shadowing the other emotions. I figured the graffiti, with blood spatters on top of it really helped set the tone. I made one more picture that is the follow-up of this, but I didn't post it, because the posing was inspired off something I found on google and was more practice for me.
I really appreciate the praise cause I did love how this came out. And thanks for the gun XD again it was very heavily referenced, but I kinda had to if I was gonna incorporate one into the pictue lol Thanks so much!

You've really done an amazing job creating the atmosphere. The detail given to the background really convey's the mood for the character is in.
