Wow, you really did a great job on this one. I really like how you made it seem old with the background and how it seems like the woman was done in watercolours. Everything about this is just so amazing.

You don't understand.

These are re-mixes of existing poster art, and in this case, the original IS a watercolor. You can see it here: [link]

You can read more about how I work and why I do it this way here: [link]

Glad you like the work.

Surely, my Comrade Political Commissar kiddeth the masses.

Ahem. I stand convicted of not fact-checking this one. I can only say that I was preoccupied with the message, which had gone through several iterations to reach the point at which I published it. It never occurred to me that the brass wouldn't let women serve on attack subs, but I guess I understand the logic.

I really like Howard Chandler Christy -- the watercolorists are my favorite "school" of propaganda poster painters: Christy, James Montgomery Flagg, Norman Rockwell, and Gerrett Beneker being my favorites. But when I saw the original [link] I just knew I had to turn it's message around somehow. Sorry if I overreached.

You did a good job with this one. I definitely like the message-turnaround. Now, if only we WERE allowed on subs...lol. But, I also totally understand why they don't want mixed crews... could get ugly, very much so.

The message is great, though, and well portrayed.
