"Capt. Benjamin Engel was reminded that the cost of war knows no bounds."

He's my OC that exists in my futuristic Worlds War I story involving Earth vs. Mars, war on independence, resources, power struggles, and family lineage.

I painted this image nearly a year back, but never finished it. All I pretty much did this time is make a few edits on value, added hues, lights, and wet FX.

Dude. Your Picture is Powerful, a Picture is worth a Thousand Words.

Thanks. Indeed this one of the more emotional pieces I've done.

Without the teddy bear the soldier might as well have been an attack drone from the appearance. Yet now he looks more like a soldier who, despite being strong with his armor, is unable to protect that what was precious to him. Whether its his home or just made him reminisce about the past, the feeling it conveys is the same.

As for the art. The pose and the teddy bear give him a human look that the armor can't. The weapon and grenade make it look like he's on what was recently a battlefield, with the rain and the broken structure behind him suggesting that the fighting has passed for now. His stance looks realistic and adds a sense of weight to the weapon.

I considered writing this as a critique, but I feel this is more a description than a critique ^^
If anyone disagrees, please let me know since I'm still puzzling on what makes a good critique and I don't want to post unconstructive compliments or critique.

Thank you for your input! ^^

I may not be the best at constructive critiques and I'm improving with practice. I have recently come across a great digital painting resource called www.ctrlpaint.com, type 'critique' in the site's search engine and it will show a video detailing useful information about critiques.

Thanks!

That was very interesting and in the future I'll be sure to look at more of the technical aspects and such mentioned. Hearing the different terms and seeing some explained already gave clues to what I need to pay attention to in future work, both for myself as well as to improve how to give critique ^^
