Giftart for Dramedy!

Title: At the Crossroads
Gift for: [livejournal.com profile] dramedy
Artist: [livejournal.com profile] alouette_sparra
Rating: G
Fandom: Band of Brothers
Characters: Liebgott
Warnings: None
Artist notes: After about four false starts, I finally hit gold with this one. Referenced from a screenshot of Liebgott peering over a trench in the episode Crossroads, only modified a bit to be more of a portrait instead of a paused scene. Textures are from deviantArt. I actually had a lot of fun doing this, despite being a bit shaky on drawing people realistically. Happy Yuletart, dramedy!

Ooh, very yummy! I really like the textures here, especially on his face. And he looks so innocent, like a child in some Renaissance painting.

Very beautiful, I love his expression, his face, his eyes... makes me sad for him.

Oh, wow! I like what you've done with the textures in this; even though the colours are very alike (as they tend to be when somebody's in a uniform) you've made the surfaces very distinct. It gives the whole thing a very sepia-photograph look that's so perfect for the subject matter and era. Fantastic job!

It has a lot of textures, just like the opening, omg. I love it. It's soft and pretty and amazing!

The textures and the colors together work together to achieve this excellent tone, like an old photograph would have. Lovely work.

Oh wow this is heartbreaking... very nicely done.

The texture of the background is stunning. I love the muted colors, too.

Nawwwwwwww man! The dirt caking his face and that bandage on his neck and that irrepressable smirk on this face and big, round bright eyes. Gaaaah, I love it so much! It's such a romantic piece and always makes me smile sadly when I see it. Fabulous work!

This is very distinctive, and very cool!
