Town Square

EDIT 4.7.2017, Updated work to include signature I use now and changed the tonal values of the foreground

Well... technically not a town square... more like a round-about

EDIT: made minor corrections and made the lights less harsh

My magnum opus before I enter Law school...

A Valkyria Chronicles fan art featuring Marina Wulfstan and a heavy Imperial force. I think I outdid my previous work on VC by a mile. xD In addition, I made the entire pic similar to VC's 'CANVAS' shading in the game. (even including the white borders at the edge of the screen)

What started out as a simple redo of (fav.me/d594e0v) turned out to be something even I did not expect. Before I knew it, I was expanding the canvas more and more. I guess once them creative juices gets a-flowing, you cannot stop.

In this piece, I again took liberties with details.
For instance: the destroyed Gallian tank has elements of a Panzer II suspension and autocannon and a Panzer IV turret and armament. (after all, according to the artbook, The standard Gallian tank has the same 75 mm canon of a Panzer IV Ausf. D, and it was inspired by the Panzer II chassis). Marina is using a Kar98k and her overcoat is derived from German marksman coats from WWII.

Why the imperial tank has '612' ? That is because my Steam profile is "Lw612c"

When I was drawing this, I pulled out every WWII video game trope/feel I know and am aware of, (To name a few, I was inspired by things in Sniper Elite II, Company of Heroes, Brothers in Arms, World of Tanks, Call of duty(Waw and II especially) , etc.)

When drawing this.....
The treads of the tank were troublesome , Perspective was a pain... but I think it worked out in the end.

In retrospect, I think, in terms of composition, I made the left and right too eye heavy. I think I had tunnel vision and was focused too much on the little details while neglecting the whole pic.

But either way, I am proud of myself with this one.
