TITLE: "Last Stand"
MEDIA: "Pencil Illustration"
YEAR: 1990 & 2005
BACKGROUND:
**A Memorial Day Tribute**
I am uploading this out of sequence to honor all the brave men & women who have paid for our freedom with their blood, their tears, and their lives over the last two centuries.
This image was created with a combination of a Number two, hard lead pencil, and a .05mm core Technical Pencil. The image was created on a fine tooth drawing surface, 20lb., Loose Leaf, Typing Paper. The orriginal image is 8.5 x 11 inches. This image was first started in 1990, in high school, and was greatly inspired by the game "Space Hulk" just released by Games Workshop at that time. It sat, unfinished, embedded in the pages of my Warhammer Rogue Trader book for over a decade. When I stumbled across the work early last year I could see it had merit despite it's age, and decided to finish it off. While not my best work, I am quite pleased with the end result, and believe it is difficult to see where work was originally halted, or where I switched from No. 2 to Technical pencil. I do consider it a work worthy of my overall portfolio and gallery.
P.S. This was inspired by a converted miniature diorama I made using the plastic Genestealers from the Space Hulk boxed game, and the Plastic MK6 Space Marine "Beakies" that were in production at the time. If I ever find what I did with that min-diorama I'll snap a picture of it and link to it
