Item 14 for *100ThemesChallenge's Variant 1 List - Smile.
------- This is a concept sketch for the memorial tattoo I eventually want to get for my brother who died five years ago this October. It's based on the design on the back of his gunnery school jacket and is not only a tribute to him but to the rest of his colleagues in the Gunner's Mate rating. A Shore Squid salutes you. And now for a bit of a rant. You can leave now if you want, but no flames if you do keep reading. This isn't the place for them. My brother was the inspiration for me to join the Navy, one of the reasons I'm still in today, and one of the reasons why I'll still be in for a good long while. And no, he didn't die overseas. He shot himself. If someone is different than you in a harmless way and you don't like it, keep your goddamn mouth shut and don't harass them about it. Get yourself some therapy and get a life, because they're not the only person who gets hurt when you get stupid. ------- Micron Sakura ink pens, Sharpie markers, graphite pencils and paper stumps for shading. About four hours. -------  has my permission to post this in their gallery. All others, please ask. As mentioned above, flames are not welcome. Gentle criticism is. |

 reports, 1d 14h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |
