War Stuff

So far, the pencil art I've posted from Two Generals would make you think that the book is mostly about sightseeing and golf. And there's an extent to which it is about those things, especially in the first half.

This week, though, I finally arrived at a scene that has guns, helmets, equipment, men yelling at each other, etc. You know, war stuff. The scene depicted here is a training exercise rather than the real thing, but that hasn't stopped one poor officer from shooting himself in the leg. As always, you can click these for larger versions:

This scene has taken some time, thanks to the number of characters and amount of historical detail. But it's the tip of the iceberg, really. It's pretty much just practice for my Juno Beach scene, which is coming up in about another thirty pages.
