sooooo I typed out the longest comment ever created on DeviantArt and when I went to submit, it told me that they were doing site maintenence... So let's make this short and sweet.
Yes it's big. It's big because I spent 8 months drawing it and I wasn't about to cheap out on size. Yes the quality is horrid. Get me a new expensive scanner, preferably one that fits the entire 12x12 piece so I won't have to do some cging in the middle to match up the line and we wouldn't have to worry about sacrificing detail. Yes, there's a watermark. This is a gift for somebody. Probably the nicest gift I've ever given, considering it has been taking over my coffee table since August '07 (stress). I don't want it everywhere, even in it's poorest quality, because he requested that I draw it specially for him.
I'm sad to see it go. I wish I could keep it considering I put everything I have into this picture. My pencils are little stubs now and my eraser is a little black blob... But at the same time, good riddance.
Medium: pencil (4H to 3B) Orginal image was taken in the field in Afghanistan in 2005.
