Description Here is my entry into the GoW Contest - an original digital painting. I hope the theme of sacrafice and brotherhood come through After several iterations and redraws I think I finally got this piece where I want it and now share it amongst fellow fans.

***

War. It changes us. Challenges us. Shatters our souls.

In the final days of the long war on Sera, Delta Squad had been pushed to new levels of extreme pain and torment. Having learned terrible truths and having seen great atrocities from the Horde, the squad's experiences culminated into one final moment: One that showed who we are as humans. One that shows why we fight. One that shows why we are Brothers to the end.

"I'm pleased with our progress. I understand they have located another squad. Our strategy remains the same. Cut off the head of the snake and the body dies. We will win this war. It's only a matter of time."
- Queen Myrrah

This is original. I like the execution of how you styled and drew it. Very talented, wish I was as good artistically with a tablet. The blur for the depth of field adds a very nice feel to the composition and I like your color palette.

Thank you! I was going for something different and am glad you liked the piece. The style and colors I think and the frenetic nature and heat of the shot. Most appreciated!

I used an Asus EP121 Windows 7 tablet to ink and color the piece in Photoshop, after drawing out the individual elements by hand - was a lot easier for me to get it done that way
