                        Here's a recently completed dio Of mine I thought you might enjoy!

                        It's late March 1945. In some bomb blasted city in Germany a small group of Germans are desperately fighting a rear guard action. In one of the rare lulls in the fighting they attempt to take care of the wounded and rearm the 252/22. Suddenly from behind the sound of Russian tanks are heard and the blood chilling scream of " Mein Gott!!! Ivans behind us"

                        Waterboy,

                        This is beautiful. I am utterly amazed! So much I could comment on but will leave it at this is a piece of art!

                        Steve

                        Edit... just saw Kelly_zaks pics.. amazing. This forum has an over abundance of artists.. well done guys/gals.. I wish I could put into words how much I enjoy seeing everyone's artwork.

                        This has great composition, as usual. Glad to see it finished. Haven't seen anything since you posted the initial WIP over on the LEM.

                           More inspirational work! Fantastic. What can you say? It's all there. Compact, the story line, detail and action. I can't wait to get back into finishing off the dios i have started. Hopefully they turn out at least half as decent as some of the work posted of late...
