What a moving story..and your artwork is balanced and so well put together, that it creates instand emotion in the viewer. How right you are to remind us, that the young also suffer and have given life and limb for their respective countries..we need to be reminded of that. donkeyoatey

Comment from Angelheart The First


I was so impressed when I saw and studied this.But when I read your writing it really filled my heart with sorrow.I wonder how many people realize that emotional wounds never heal.The work that went into this had to be laborious but as I see it,a labor of love.A wonderful collage that fits the story perfectly.It is truly deserving a six star rating.

Hi Cleo,

Not only did you do a fantastic job of creating the story in the art, but you also did a wonderful job of expressing it in word. You have all the facets of the pain behind a wounded soldier and what his life is.

What I really love about this besides your skill in ceeating it is, you let us know we NEVER really know the depth of emotional pain these brave men have to endure. I'm sure any veteran who has seen live action would be VERY Honored by this! I wish I had a six ro bless this with!

You should be VERY proud of this piece! Good Luck in the Contest! :o) Helvi

Comment from Levon7


I feel for all of our soldiers. So brave. I can't even imagine what they go through. This is a lovely collage. I love the blue. I like the eagle(?) The mans head and face are great too. It is a fine mixture of the insanity they face. Thank you for bringing it to everyones attention.

The digital artwork you created was amazing and your art notes were heartfelt and touching. Your artwork has a strong voice and story telling ability. did you get the eagle's idea and coloring from the movie GIJOE ?

    Thank you very much for your encouraging review.
    I did never see the movie, since I was living outside country until a few weeks ago. I have to admit that I do not know from were Eagles ideas came from. I do not know from were my ideas come most the time.
