Inferno

'The only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function: without mercy, without compassion, without remorse. All war depends upon it.' -Ronald Spiers-

I somehow love this quote. This picture was inspired by the HBO series 'Band of Brothers'. The particular scene that really inspired me was when they were fighting in the Ardennes forest, Bastogne, Belgium's border to Germany, where they were surrounded and cut out of supplies. This scene is more popularly known as the Battle of the Bulge. Love Major Winter, followed by Spiers, Buck Compton, Eugene 'gene' Roe and Captain Nixon.

Richard Winters: These men have been through the toughest training the Army has to offer, under the worst possible circumstances, and they volunteered for it
'Buck' Compton: Christ, Dick, I was just shooting craps with them.
Richard Winters: You know why they volunteered? Because they knew that the man in the foxhole next to them would be the best, not some draftee who's going to get them killed.
'Buck' Compton: Are you ticked because they like me? Because I'm spending time to get to know my soldiers? I mean, c'mon, you've been with them for two years? I've been here for six days.
Richard Winters: You were gambling, Buck.
'Buck' Compton: So what? Soldiers do that. I don't deserve a reprimand for it.
Richard Winters: What if you'd won?
'Buck' Compton: What?
Richard Winters: What if you'd won? Don't ever put yourself in the position where you can take from these men.

Sunset over the tree

I'm sorry i haven't been submitting any drawings lately because i just started my college..A-levels..blah..anyways the moment i saw this scenery/ picture i knew i wanted to paint it..and here it is...i can paint it better but i don't the paper is good enough..i have to find better materials..but for now i guess this will do..

I think sunsets are just really beautiful. It makes you calm and feel all warm and fuzzy inside.haha.owh and it's also very romantic. but i think you all already know that.hehe. I'm really glad about how the tree turned out. i actually did that with ink pen. painfully trying to get the leaves just right and it was all worth it. i really needed to draw. it's been soo long, i was afraid that i forgot how to draw.

What really made me wanna jump back to drawing was the other day in college. I brought my sketchbook and folio cause i friends wanted to see it. Their reactions reminded me of why i love drawing so much. some even said that i could sell my drawings and they would buy it. that really boosted me up. In a way i was kind of surprise cause, well nobody ever said that to me. I mean of course i know i can draw, but i never thought i could do it very well.So thank you guys.

Anyways, i'm on my mid-term break. I'm trying to do as much artwork as i can before the holidays end. so wish me luck!


Always me,
Anna
