Forces of Liberty

[falcon012]

I've had an armor piece brewing in the back of my mind for some time now. I love the great German tanks from WWII but they are very well represented. I decided to go with the Sherman for this piece. These are late war versions. The M4A3E8 with the HVSS suspension and the 76mm gun.

I added a couple of Mustangs making a low pass. The combination of air power and armor was unstoppable in 1945. Hence the title, "Forces of Liberty".

I painted the overall piece at 20" x 24" to allowfor various aspect ratios when printing. This version is 16" x 24"

Thanks Corto.

Very nice work. :)

Somehow the colors have a rather 50s/60s feel about them, more like Korea/Vietnam like photographs and propaganda material.

Thanks Zorin. I was going for a desaturated wintery kind of look with the colors.
