Thank U For Being Here Because Without You I Think My All Quiet On The Western Front Fixation Would Be

this is the style i almost settled on for the novel. it took me forever to even get to that point (because i had originally planned to put myself through the ordeal of working traditionally) and even then, after trying time and time again for a month, i still wasn't satisfied. the style just felt too soft and illustrative and i needed something sharp and bold if that makes sense and so i spent another month trying to get there :')

anyway, here's some concept art from back in april or may

early exhibition of "degenerate art" feat. "the trench" by otto dix, dresden city hall, 1933

"the trench", 1923, missing

one test page still requires a minimum of a two hour research on great war german pistols and how you load them *sigh*

-The harvest-

as a horror fan, i think perhaps the most exciting thing i have to work on regarding the comic is definitely the horror-esc aspects of it - the research is certainly disgusting, but i find the subject of depicting death and decay in art oddly fascinating, having everything to do with taking all the images from the text and making them real(the first scene from the visitation to kemmerich where paul imagines his decaying corpse in the grave with his nails and hair still growing lives in my head rent free so the only way to get rid of it is to make y'all suffer too sorry guys)

Happy 1 year since the release of the first chapter of Martyrs of the Sky 🫶

I am both terrified and overjoyed that it's been a year. Thank you everyone for the support, it couldn't have been done without you!

wishing all artists a very sincere "get weirder with it" this coming year

we teasing a similar looking scene with this one 🔥🔥📣📣📣

 IWM (Q 87977) Long line of German wounded being carried out on improvised stretchers to the nearest field hospital, April 1917.

So ignore the quality and Hans’s hair disappearance. I’ve just sat on this so long I may as well post it

this could be us but you playing
