After the Krauts and the Tommies, meet the Poilus. Before you ask, I did use a reference (not for the faces, obviously). I'm not that good yet, sorry.
So yes, what to say about this piece. It took me only 3 days, that's a lot of improvement since the last two ones took weeks. I did not get lazy this time. I wanted to do another kind of group picture (two ranks of soldiers became a boring idea.)
I don't think I'll make other WW1 groups now, let that serie die on a high note.
Allons ! Enfants de la Patrie !
Le jour de gloire est arrivé !

oh no ww1 anymore ? I love the Style of that whole Period and you are more or less the only one doing something with it.
But ok I will be interested in what comes next.
Oh ho, that general in the back (61 guy) is clearly my favourite. What a creeper haha.
I think you found a great nich with these (I've seen your other ones pop up on main page before.) This idea of comical faces gives you so much room to branch out into other generas with these crazy faces in history, as they are ususually only kept to pop culture portraits by other artists. It kind of reminds me of norman rockwell illustrations. =D
