Description

After 911 a buddy of mine named Alex did a drawing, it was Uncle Sam mad! So working in an art dept I asked if I could airbrush it in Photoshop. The illustration your looking at was based of the original drawing and just to boost moral! Enjoy!

I like it! I have a few ideas for Bin Laden myself though - and this one is way too mild! (thumbup) [+8]

Great idea. Colors and illustration are nice. It reminds me a bit of an old Iron Maiden poster for some reason. Maybe because Sam looks a bit like IM's mascot "Eddie" Wonderful rendering on the knucle ring.

To me, the flashy "brass knuckles" with "United States" was totally unneeded. I mean, who doesn't know who Uncle Sam is?

First of all, it looks awkward because with the hand in it's given position the words "United States" should be fliped 180 degrees. Tatoo'd letters across the knuckls, for example are spelled out so that others can read it, not so tha the wearing can (of course that would looks dumb in the above picture)

Also, I think the godiness of the ring, implies some sort of political message (wether intended or not). Of course, if was intended, then you got your point across.

I'm with captainzero on this. If you got rid of the brass knuckles, you'd get more of an "I'm about to smash you" look, rather than a "look at my ring" look.
Nice colouring.

Nice coloring but dislikes the theme, im not nothamerican and i know that the twin towers stuff was horrible, but horrible was a lot of things that usa has done before.

Will be cool to see some others arts with your skills, this pic is verry well done.

I guess I should have seen this comming so this will be my last and only respose to Hybridos comment. First thanks for the critique and theres more and much better art to come! Second I dont know what the United States did in your eyes to deservie 3,000 plus deaths and the many more we are going to lose fighting terror but, Ill tell you this......when someone steps to the US with a fight you cant name someone who beat us or will beat us in a fight!

Not my style, but the lighting, colors, and rendering are very well done.

To butt in on your conversation:
Honestly, MailMan, I don't think Hybridos meant any insult to the U.S.A., though perhaps what he said could have been put better. What he's pointing out, I believe, is the fact that we (I'm American too) have gotten all worked up about our admittedly horrible tragedy, while before and since 9/11 even more horrible things have been happening in countries we probably couldn't even locate on the map. So why do we only care when it hits home?

This is probably a bit of a heavy discussion for this arena, but I felt I had to clear that up. "We can beat anyone in a fight" isn't the best foreign policy, especially for a country with its eyes firmly shut to the rest of the world.

Has a nice poster feel to it. Coloring is very well done as are the expressions. Definitely think the brass knuckles should go (even though they are nice and shiny - if anything at least flip them around so they're facing the right way). Would be nice to see an "after" pic...heh

Im with america on this one, those terrorists are a bunch of animals with not a shred of respect for women. Good work.
