Description
"Lord, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
with all my heart..."
I recently started watching the HBO series 'Band of Brothers' and it soon became one of my favorite TV shows. It has the perfect mix of an interesting story, complex and realistic characters, gorgeous images and lighting, and even a bit of humor. I can strongly recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it yet!
This is a still from episode six, 'Bastogne', which is told from the perspective of medic Eugene 'Doc' Roe (portrayed by British actor Shane Taylor). Being a perfectionist, I'm not
quite happy with the result. I feel that it doesn't do justice to the character and to this particular scene. In my defense, though, I should point out that I used a rather small and blurry screenshot as a reference picture, so I couldn't make the drawing as detailed as I normally (prefer to) do. In fact, I had initially intended to make a collage of sketches from 'Bastogne', but somehow it evolved into this.
Oh, well. I hope you like it anyway.
And if anyone could find me a high-quality still of Doc Roe in 'Band of Brothers', that would be awesome! Because I've Googled until my fingers hurt and this was one of the best images that I could come up with.

Gosh, I had a huge crush on Doc Roe, with his morphine and his scissors (sizzaas).

My sister is obsessed with Doc Roe, so I recognized this character immediately (haven't watched the series yet). I think you did a great job of capturing his expression (this screenshot is pretty popular).

Thank you!
And I'm sure your sister has already told you this numerous times, but if you haven't watched the series yet, you should definitely give it a go! It's amazing.

Eugene!!!!!! ♥ You really draw him well. He's clearly on of my favorite caracter of this amazing tv show. My most favorite one is Buck and my favorite episode is the episode 7 (breaking point I think).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Suanin In reply to poulpette3 [2010-06-18 08:29:42 +0000 UTC]
I'm glad you like it!
I also love Eugene Roe, obviously, and Luz, Winters, Malarkey, Liebgott, and Buck - they're my favorites.
I thought 'The Breaking Point' was incredibly sad; I actually had trouble watching it, because there wasn't a single lighthearted moment in it, only horror and death. My favorite episodes are the first one and 'Bastogne', because it's told from the perspective of Eugene, which I thought was very original. (And Eugene's cute, of course. )

Great work! I wouldn't worry that you didn't do the character justice. I've 'Band of Brothers' a ton and have served as a combat medic myself. I think you captured the thoughtful sorrow a medic on the battlefield feels very well. Keep up the amazing work!

I recognized this guy right away. I got into the series when it first aired. I particularly remember his episode in the snowy forest.
Have you been watching The Pacific?

Suanin In reply to justinsdrawings [2010-05-11 17:36:28 +0000 UTC]
Yes, it was a beautiful episode, wasn't it? I think it's mostly because it's told from a rather unusual, but very interesting perspective. And Shane Taylor did an amazing job as well.
As for The Pacific: I watched two episodes, but then I quit because I kept comparing it to Band of Brothers and it failed to meet my expectations (which were probably a bit too high, but still ).
