Celebrating the Atomic Wasteland

Description

Completely forgot to upload this, whoops...

Anyway, this was one of five pieces that I had to create for a project in my English class this past year, all centered around World War II and themes of affirmation and despair in war. Only two of the five are drawn, this being one of them, and since several of the written pieces are essays (see: boring as all hell), I probably won't be uploading them. I did have a poem, though, so I maaaaay or may not put that up. Depends on interest.

In case it wasn't obvious, this piece was meant to be despair for war, not affirmation. Perhaps less obviously, it displays a child after the 1945 American bombings of the Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It brought and end to World War II, and while Americans were happily celebrating our victory (hence the shading in front), the people or Japan were... less than thrilled. I was actually really happy with how this turned out when I first made it. I have never been able to draw that kind of hair correctly before, and I really felt like I did the expression well. I also liked how the clothes turned out, along with the hands. The people in front... noooooot too happy with, nor the background, but what the hell, I was on a deadline and while I could go back now and fix it, I'd really rather be animating and/or drawing fanart. XD

Ironically enough, although this was my favorite of all of the pieces that I submitted, it also happened to be the one that I got the lowest score on. Go figure. XD

If and when I decide to upload the next piece I did, prepare for something a bit more... spangle-y. One of the assignments was to create a propaganda poster.

also ps this was completely unintentional but the little girl kiiiiiinda looks like kid mako mori from pacific rim oops
