Most cinematic post-battle shots depict the winners as jumping around celebrating and whatnot, so I wanted to create what I think it would actually be like. Swinging around a weapon is exhausting, so by the end, I think even a fit dude would be breathing hard and just trying to recover air. At the same time, I think he or she’d be like, “Holy crap, I survived!,” which is what I tried to convey in the expression. Does anyone deserve to survive a battle? It’s the most brutal form of hatred, and there is no right or wrong, no good or bad, it’s simply “you are not with me”. or narcissism taken to the penultimate form. For the survivors, there is a lifetime of pain ahead, “Why did I have to kill this man, what for?” For the politicians, there is money, political power, and other rewards the common man will never see. We should do away with the political class and live in peace, no matter where we live or what we believe.
Again, no AI. I don’t hate AI, as it’s it’s own artist, but it fuels a feeling among humans that digital art is not worth it, therefore, I’m against AI.
