This seems to be everyone's favorite piece of mine and so I re-scanned it, and it has come out a lot better.
This is based on a photograph from the Korean War.
What I was going for here was to make the left side darker than the right, and have the Angel shielding the Hero of the piece from the darkness with his wing, but letting the light shine on him from the other side. Also you can see that the base of the piece where the Hero is, is much darker than the top where the Angel is more prominently featured.
It's actually a little bigger than this, the original (11" x 14") doesn't feels so cramped.
Holy guacamole! This is beautiful work. I'm in awe, genuinely.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
