My good friend, and fellow Marine is still active and being deployed around the world. He has a fantastic family and two wonderful kids. I thought it would be nice to draw them each something they would like in honor of their sacrificing time with their devoted father.

The young guy received a Spider-Man image, and for the young lady who quite enjoys My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, I illustrated this poster that draws inspiration from the Eagle Globe and Anchor.

This was quite different content than I usually work on, so it was very fun and enjoyable. Something about drawing really cute and fun things makes you smile more while you’re working.

Thanks to all the service members and their families that sacrifice so much more daily than most of us can ever imagine. – Raihn

PS. I think it would be fun to do a poster with Z T P ponies for team liquid, seems appropriate.

UPDATE: Added the Raihn Replay:

@DannyJ Yeah, I'm not sure the technique is really that useful for general work. My waccom is the smallest size, so I can't ink with really clean stylistic curves and strokes. The pen tool allows me to get a clean arc. Also, in retrospect I probably should have just done the whole piece as either vector shapes, or even used illustrator.

Yeah you could have done it in Illustrator and probably gotten a similar result easier but there's nothing wrong with the way you did it.

I would absolutely love to see Z, T, and P ponies, though I get the feeling that two of them have already been done:

<@Wikt> so you are one of those nega-fans <@Wikt> that hates the company that makes a game and everything they stand for <@Wikt> but still plays the game <@Wikt> (like roughly 30% of blizzard's player base, maybe much more...)
