Artist's Comments

A deviation of one of my friends who recently left us to be involved in our countries armed sevices... I know the deviation is not the most amaising thing to look at, but it has a lot of special meanting to me personally...

Good luck out there, Jacob!

Wow, I really like it. I'm not too good in photoshop, and looking at your deviations makes me jealous..... Hehe just kidding. Keep up the great work. I know we all miss Jacob, and your collage reminds me of what exactly he is doing for our country. :+fav:

Hello, friends. I am a perfectly normal human worm baby. You have nothing, absolutely nothing to fear from me. Just pay no attention to me and we'll get along just fine.

:lolly: To Life!

...this is unbelievable. This deviation affects me greatly....I love how you used the Johnny Got His Gun cover. Your blending is flawless, very quality work.

Thank you so much for making this, I know it's going to mean a lot to a lot of people :+fav:

We all love you Jacob, and we'll be praying for you.

God, bah I hope the war like ends or slows down majorly before he gets out of boot camp because i do not want him to have to go through all that shit! It makes me so incredibly angry, I love him so much. I like the idea luke, very nice

I saw this picture on the front page thumbs, recognising the person, but not the artist. Nelson, your work in this picture is excuisit. Even if I had not known Jacob as a brother, I could feel the power of this piece. This is without a doubt a simply sublime picture, and a truly magnificent tribute too our friend. I thank you for making this, as everyone who has been effected by Jacob should. Truly, this picture has brought a tear to my eye.

Salute,
Franklin Andre` Blue Eyes

first i would like to say that this is a great piece.... then i would like to say that i think that you all misunderstand jacob when you wish that the war would slow down before he gets out of boot camp, he wants to go to war... he didnt join for school money or anything like that... he enlisted, he wants to go to war... but i second ambers thoughts when i say that my prayers are with him....

You make an interesting point, but you are right. He is an amaizing young man, and my prayers are with him.

Okay, this is like from three months ago, but I don't think that Jacob DOES want to go to way, at least not anymore. Last time I saw him he wasn't all to thrilled about what he was doing.
