Very nice, I will make one as well when I have the time. But now, sleep. Good night WP.

I think it would be cool to see the trenches picture developed more, if you want to. Some extra work coloring it (or even giving it the old photo look like some of your others have) and possibly adding more details could make it one of your masterpieces, in my opinion.

Here's some of my most "famous" pieces on DeviantART:

Corporal Spicer Lovejoy and a British soldier hold a conversation. A Prussian soldier sleeps on the ground. This is summer 1873. By this time the allied coalition had nearly pushed back the New Confederacy to the coast and the islands.

Could you draw General Creedon? I could PM you with a picture of myself for the face.

Sure.

I've been drawing on people's faces in the newspaper today...

I think your style works especially well with that one. It's a simple picture, yet says quite a bit.

Thanks. You know, I do take criticism. I'll ask if I want it.

I know, but I did like that one when I saw it in your other thread. Even if some other ones could use work, that one is a pretty good piece as it is.

If you'd rather, I can keep quiet until you ask for opinions. But I still think you should keep drawing.

I'm adding more to the trenches one

This is a map of Ubuntu, a fantasy land in which one of my short stories takes place. Its dominant lifeforms are reptiles such as dinosaurs, pterosaurs, giant snakes, and crocodilians, but primates such as lemurs, monkeys, apes, and humans are also present. The indigenous humans are at an Iron Age stage of technological development, with some being tribal and others having advanced empires, and both physically and culturally resemble our world's Africans. They have domesticated the Tenontosaurus and Caudipteryx for food and the Gallimimus as a riding animal.

Below is a guide to the land's various regions:

Setukh Desert: Although once a grassland thousands of years ago, the Setukh is now a barren wasteland of sand, dust, and rock. Few lifeforms reside in the desert itself, but olive-skinned merchants from the far north sometimes traverse it on camels to trade with the Ubuntuans.
Ghali: This prosperous kingdom is famous for exporting gold and salt, but its citizens also place special importance on education and have constructed numerous universities. Analogous to the West African kingdoms of Ghana, Mali, and Songhay.
Kushta: Another wealthy civilization, Kushta is also one of Ubuntu's oldest nations. Enormous limestone royal tombs and temples characterize this empire's architecture. Analogous to ancient Egypt and Nubia.
Ugunbe: A relatively small chiefdom southwest of Kushta, Ugunbe has received some cultural influences from its larger and more advanced neighbor, but lacks any large cities. Roughly analogous to southern Sudan.
Akansete: Coastal jungle kingdom whose citizens hold sacred a golden stool believed to contain the nation's soul. Analogous to the coastal West African states of Benin and Asanteman.
Xongo Jungle: A thriving empire was once located in the heart of this rainforest, but it has since dissolved into squabbling tribes. These peoples are analogous to the Congolese and other Central Africans.
Adiksum: Linguistically related to the Kushtans, the people of Adiksum follow a monotheistic religion and have grown wealthy from overseas commerce. They are famous for their towering stone stelae. Analogous to Ethiopia.
Shobabwe: Another civilization that has benefited from trade with people from across the eastern sea, Shobabwe also boasts many cities with large stone fortresses. Analogous to the Swahili and Zimbabwean peoples of southeastern Africa.
Xhulu: Pastoral tribes clash over this southern savanna region. Analogous to the Zulu and other southern Bantu cultures.
Botsnamib Desert: Although ignored by most Ubuntuans, this scrubby desert does have an indigenous population of hunter-gatherers who are analogous to the Bushmen of southwestern Africa.

I drew this in 2007, in one of my classes. It seems so long ago now.
