GoW: Make Our Family Proud

"I hope you're doing well out there, Clay. Not sure where you are but I trust that the COG will get this letter to you safely. I know that you'll be excited for me, but it'd be great to hear from you before I ship out."

I just wish Anthony was still here bro. I really miss him. I take comfort knowing he died a hero, but still... I miss him, as I'm sure you do too. Well, you know I'm not that good at letters, so I'll keep this short. Hope you're doing well, big brother, and know that I'll be doing my very best to serve our country and make you and our family proud"
"Your little brother [aka the Squirt], Ben."

this is the letter that you found after Benjamin died at the gigant worm...
I wanted to draw clayton visiting anthony and benjamin's tombstones (or what was left of them.) and with Ben's letter in his hands...
I know that Gears of War takes place in summer, I'm not sure if at least exists a piece of land with the bodies of fallen gears (graveyard)...
nvm... it's a fan art ...

well...
I'm soo glad that my mom don't put me a computer punishment this time!

well, I started this like a sketch while ago, but later I wanted to try a new technique at photoshop... I was practicing ,I'm happy and sad of the final product...
happy:because I enjoyed the coloring,the progress, and time passed since I drawed carmine....
sad:because I think that I put a lot of effects X__X and I think that I ruined part of the pic ...
Don't laugh at my bad perspective plzzzzzz XOX...

92 layers
2 pencils
2 days
1 tablet
1 software (photoshop cs5)for make this...

step by step 'progress':

for some reason I like more painting a sketch than a clean lineart ....
