I've got no interesting backstory on this one; it's just the first idea that popped into my head when reading the topic. I'd love to paint this up at some point, but it's going to have to go into the backlog behind the pirate.

Wow! Perfect, Kurt. Way better than I imagined when you described the idea to me. What an imagination. I love the look on the bucket-head kid's face. Perfect, man. Now color it.

Very cool! Fits the description perfectly. The poses are awesome and the low angle makes the kids feel commanding - even with the taller adults standing around them.

Looks like a little trip back to the Defiant days - but more fun.

Hey, buddy, don't you know there's a war on? Heh heh heh. This is very cute, Kurt. I'd love to see this in full-color as well, but the rough is a masterpiece in its own right. Bravo!

Wow. The kid on the left is really selling his role. An expertly crafted face. You'd have to be a connisseur of bloody war games to do up a drawing so skillfully.

The face sells it man. Love it to pieces. I'm also really liking the composition here with the four figures and the smoke trails. All well balanced.

Thanks for all the kind words, everyone! The bucket-kid's face went through many versions before I settled on this one, so I'm very pleased that people like it.

I totally agree with your color treatment suggestion, Kevin. Between you and Marshall, the pressure for a color piece from me is on...

Kurt, I'd play this version of Brothers In Arms light years more than the current game. The kids' expressions are priceless, as are the pots-for-helmets. I actually use to do that in the pre-videogame pays of actually using my imagination. Awesome.
