W is for War, represented by the Greek god Ares.

~+~+~+~

This is part of a Photoshop Class assignment that we have. Essentially, we have to pick a theme, and then find a magazine picture or draw a drawing for each letter of the alphabet.

I chose the theme: Greek gods and goddesses. Because I love Greek mythology, and I'm stupid enough to draw 26 of them. I'm even taking it one step farther: eventually, I'll have 52 of them drawn to create a full deck of cards. Fun X).

...looks like my art block isn't over yet. This one turned out kinda... weird. Different from all the previous ones.

I struggled so much with everything... recently, I've just felt like... like I really should be taking a break from art. Unfortunately, I can't do so until the deities are done.

But anyway, enough whining! For Ares, I kinda wanted to go with the red, black, and white theme, like Rhamnusia. I also wanted him to look Asian (I don't really think I succeeded... his eyes are too big). But most of all, I wanted him to be suave, because... well, quite honestly, war is something that often appears to be better than it really is. People try to hide the hideous aspects of war all the time... well, at least, in this country.

The Gentleman's War... I suppose.

Wow, now that's the most original take on War I've ever seen - making him look so suave and sophisticated. Love the way the gun points towards the viewer.

Yay Ares! This has a very oldschool Gangster Movie feel to it :3
