Back to the grind stone

I just wanted to post a quick post to get myself moving as I have finally started to transfer the images from the sketches to the boards to be painted on this long and exciting painting process. It is taking quite a while but I know it will be worth it.

Image quiality isn't the best but progress is happening.

Spacing is Crucial

 

We were always so critical of our spacing, but the counterparts seemed to know a little more than we did. I guess that had something to do with being in their own neighborhoods. Most important for the patrol is spacing. I can think of watching the video games being played by the different soldiers and how they would use the various formations to conduct the virtual operations, what a blast, get it... a blast!?

 

I liked the the way the soldier on the left here helps to draw in the viewer to see and participate in what is being viewed. I don't know if it is the most effective but I like how it plays out.
