Lest We Forget

Postby obsceneSymphony » Wed Nov 10, 2010 5:00 am

I felt like doing a poppy for Remembrance Day. Is Remembrance Day only in Canada or do they have it in the US too?
I'm not sure if this will turn out intermediate or not.
WIP, crit?

Finished, I think. I also did a lineless version.

Not just the fallen, all whom have served past & presently. The poppy became a symbol during WWI...also known as Poppy Day or Armistice Day (the event it commemorates) or Veterans Day. The poppy emblem was chosen because of the poppies that bloomed across some of the worst battlefields of Flanders in World War I, their red colour an appropriate symbol for the bloodshed of trench warfare.

Lovely idea & design! *salutes the effort*

Yer we have Rememberance day in Australia too, New Zealand as well I think... On the 11th day of the 11th month, in the 11th minute of the 11th hour, a light shines through a hole in the roof of our Shrime of rememberance, onto the tomb of the unknown soilder.
Howdy,
So, ah, I've been away from CS for nearly a year now, and are just getting back into the swing of things c: If you happen to have any spare pets that you no longer need, I'm back into welcoming trades - I'd really love to get back on track :3
Thank you,
Trick.
