Shit just got real

Description

I was working on a picture when this powerful image invaded my mind, I had to drop everything to sketch this. Of course after the idea was sketched it laid around for awhile, maybe a month or so. I finally picked it up yesterday and completed it.

I was wondering about how America from hetalia would react to getting attacked on 9-11-01 and how would it look if it was in the anime?


Not sure if it should have a warning on it, but I'm going to put one on just in case.

This tutorial by :iconaliothica: really helped me with bruises. [link]

When dealing with painful events and crossing them you really have to know what you are doing or it could come off in bad taste and disrespectful to both the lovers of the anime and the victims of the event. I don't think this piece was done in bad taste.

It toed that line between the character and the event very well and the coloring lent itself to not be overly dramatic and let us focus on the character in of the picture. Not many artists would be brave to try this but doing this sort of thing is a good test of skill and if I had to grade then it would be a pass for sure.

My gripe is that detail character could be upped just a touched in the suit maybe in the flag behind him just to give a little bit more, but honestly I find that is the level of difference of adding a shake of pepper to your soup, easy to fix and really only to that person's taste.

Overall I would say well done
